    Updating xml from database

    Not sure if this is the right place or if this has been asked before. I tried searching but couldn't really find a similar problem.

    A client of ours has been running a website and they have been making links to another website. The problem however, is that this other website was still on a test url. So now, after it going live, all those links are no longer working and they want us to come up with a fix that's easier than just manually stroll through all pages and adjust the links.

    So, I set out to update the replace all the links in the database with a simple update script for the cmsContentXml table. I see the links get updated in the database, but umbraco gets the data from somewhere and then overwrites it in the database again.

    Now, I know there is an XML cache in the umbraco.config file. So I deleted that file to have umbraco genererate a clean one from the database. Or atleast, I assumed that's how it'd work. But there's apparently another place it can get the data from and use it to overrule the database.

    So, where do I need to update?

    We are running on 4.5 btw.

    Kind regards,

    I could really use an answer to this as it is quite urgent.

    HI Ferdy,

    You shoudl have a look at the cmsPropertyData table that holds the real data.

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Thanks Richard! That did the trick. Wish I could have responded sooner, but flu kept me in bed ;)
