The only description I can find for the Update Base URL tool is:
"This function changes the base url for imported text strings that reference files in the Ning Archive. Use this tool if you have moved your imported Ning site to a new domain or a new folder."
This describes my situation, but I would be grateful for more specific information on how exactly the tool works with existing URLs that need to be updated.
My impression is that it works well when we need to replace a simple URL such as (A) with an equally simple URL that says (B):
(A) sitename.olddomain (B) sitename.newdomain
But if a URL has the following form (C), will it be changed to (D) if when we ask the tool to change (A) to (B)?
(C) sitename.olddomain/notes (D) sitename.newdomain/notes
And if a URL has the form
(E) sitename.olddomain/notes/specific-note-name
and needs to be changed to
(F) sitename.newdomain/profile-name/ningmemo/specific-note-name
can we do this by asking the tool to update from
(E) sitename.olddomain/notes/specific-note-name
to
(G) sitename.newdomain/profile-name/ningmemo/
??
Or to ask the question more simply, does the term "base URL" refer only to the URL part that ends with a domain name, or does it refer to any length of URL up to -- but not including -- the last part of the URL sequence defined by slash marks?
e.g. can
sitename.domain-name/X/Y
be regarded as a base URL for
sitename.domain-name/X/Y/Z ??
