I haven't been able to find a good solution to this problem and it seems simple enough...

In dev our site is "dotnetnuke" and in production it is "zzzIntranet".  All of the images are broken and when you edit the image properties the location comes up as "dotnetnuke/somedirectory" instead of "zzzintranet".  If I manually change it to "zzzintranet" it works fine but surely there is a way to do this programmtically?  Is this image location in stored in the database (meaning I could write an update query to change them)?

Thanks for any help.

If these images are located in Text/HTML modules, you can try out our free Engage: F3 module which was built for just this purpose.  It allwos you to do find and replace operations across your site.

Hope it helps,

I saw this in another post I found searching.  I was unable to get the module to load.  I'll elaborate on that later, but for now my question is this:  Are the images links saved in a "hard coded" fashion in the pages?  I was expecting that the path to them was in the database somewhere and would be easily updatable?

It doesn't make sense to me that a tool to rip through the pages and do a "find and replace" operation would be necessary?  What am I missing?

It depends on how the images are stored.  In the most common scenarios, you should be using relative paths that should require no updating after you migrate URLs.  If the images are breaking, then their paths are probably hard coded.  If they are hard coded, then they need to be changed, and that's where a find-and-replace tool like F3 comes in handy.  Please leave a message in our Engage: F3 forum about the issue you are experiencing, and we'll try to assist you with it as much as we can.

Are you talking about images in the skin or in modules?  What specific modules?

Hope I can help,
