Help for the Big Medium CMS

Search and replace across sites?

Does anyone know how I can do this? We use a forms service that has changed its name from "formspring" to "formstack" and we need to update scripts and urls to make this change not only within a site but across sites as well. Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

Hi Beth,

Big Medium itself doesn't have a search/replace utility. But, since oyu have a local Mac OSX server... if you've got a text editor (like BBEdit for Mac, for example), you could do a search replace on all the files in moxiedata/data to replace formspring to formstack. That will update any files in page content.

If you're after code embedded in templates, do the same for moxiedata/templates_custom.

Hope that helps! As always, please let me know if you have any questions or otherwise run into any problems.

All best,
Josh

Happy to help! The one hitch I forgot to mention: You'll also need to rebuild all pages of each site after that... and I'm afraid that will be a manual process.

All best,
Josh
