RE: Changing a MOSS workspace name - properly

2009-03-09 Thread Daniel Brown

As an FYI.. which was raised by Brenton, the string replacement will work on
any part of the old/new domain. It doesn't have to be the start of the
domain, it can be the path also.

 

I.e: stsadm -o x -url http://localhost -oldurl bob -newurl joe

 

Will work as follows:

 

http://bob/page.aspx -> http://joe/page.aspx

http://server/bob/page.aspx -> http://server/joe/page.aspx
http://server/site/bob.aspx -> http://server/site/joe.aspx

 

Its just does a String.Replace()

 

Ill be updating the codeplex site shortly

Initial Checkin is up at http://spmembershipurltool.codeplex.com/ with a
release of a beta.

 

Currently it only tackles this issue of the URL's in the MySite Memberships.

 

I'm happy to continue to support, bug fix and develop this as needed. If
anyone wishes to contribute by all mean please contact me J

 

The info on the site is very basic for now, but over the next couple of
hours I'll add some more information /refine the site. 

 

It has also been run through SPDipose.

I'd absolutely love to see a feature or stsadm command that went recursively
through a site and updated URL instances in PublishingPageContent and
SummaryLink controls, My Site links and selected Web Parts.

 

This would be especially useful when migrating or deploying content from
another farm as many of these items only allow the use of absolute URLs.

Hi Brenton,

 

There is no live link checking using the MySite Links store, certainly not
across apps or farms.

 

The Site Directory includes functionality to update links and names (via
timer job) but only for sites which are registered there. This doesn't
include web parts, lists or links in content areas on other sites. L

 

Wouldn't it be great if internal were reference objects that were updated
automatically? Wouldn't it?? J

Subject: Changing a MOSS workspace name - properly

 

Hi all,

 

I have a small issue that cropped up after one of my production MOSS
workspace names was changed last week.

 

A number of staff have their mysite configured up and have a link to the old
workspace name under the Memberships -> Sharepoint Sites. 

 

Is there any way to tell MOSS to update the link on staff member's MySite
now that the actual site link has changed? I'd like MOSS to update all links
that contain the old workspace name to the new. I thought there might be an
automated process something that would have updated all the mysite links as
I thought it might be based on some sort of a site id rather than a hard
link. It doesn't appear that way, at least on the surface

 

So for example, we changed the site name as follows, using the
_layouts/prjsetng.aspx (Title, Description, and Icon) page

Old site name /SoftwareDev

New site name /SoftwareSystems

 

The SoftwareDev (now SoftwareSystems) site has 4 subsites, which include
SoftwareArchitects

 

The user in question has a link to his own

SoftwareArchitects

The user in question has a link to his own team's workspace, which is currently 
something like /SoftwareDev/SoftwareArchitects/default.aspx and has 
not updated to the new working link which should be 
/SoftwareSystems/SoftwareArchitects/default.aspx

Any ideas on how I can achieve this (and for all other users who have a mysite 
configured with the membership links.. ) without breaking stuff?

Also, if this needs to be done in future, what would be the correct procedure 
to do it and maintain the correct links in the users mysite?

Thanks in advance.. long time reader, 1st time post

Regards,
Brenton
