Hi all,
I'm new to DNN and have inherited a site which needs some bulk changes--we've done a domain change and I've updated all the links and references to the old domain in the below set of tables in the dnn database:
Tables
Urls
ModuleSettings
Links
Tabs
HTMLText
PortalAlias

Most links work fine now, but the problem is that there is a menu structure in a skin by Adammer LLC, (I only know this by doing a view-source on the page) and all of the links in the menu are still pointing to the old domain.  So I wrote a sql script to examine every row of every table in the entire dnn database, and examine every field that is of any text type looking for any text containing the old domain.  Aside from the "log" or "tracking" tables, I found zero references to the old domain.  Yet the menu still points to the old domain. 

So the question is: Where is this stored?  Could the developer I inherited this site from possibly have hard-coded this in the aspx pages, which were compiled?  The issue I have here is that if he did that--it seems to be entirely defeating the purpose of DNN.  I did find some references to the old domain in some "template" pages for the portal, but none were the actual ones I see when I hover over the menu.  I did a search-and-replace on the references I did find in the aspx page, but the project would not compile--there were hundreds of errors and this developer left no docs or anything--I can't recompile the website so I'm left with what I thought was the way it was supposed to be--just change data but don't recompile websites every time your content changes.  Yet still I sit with broken links. 
Any advice please?
Thanks,
jimo

Never mind...the process I had to find/replace the domain name I had set to silently ignore the duplicate url messages--so in a first attempt to fix the problem I'd created some new urls with the correct domain--but it was in a different place but DNN apparently doesn't like you to have the same url in two places. Whatever. I removed the 'other' dups and fixed the 'real' links and I'm good.
