Search and replace tool

Jump to: navigation, search

(Additional tools may be found elsewhere in the admin settings)

Admins can search and replace text e.g. URLs in their LMS database using the search and replace tool at http://yourlmssite.org/admin/tool/replace/index.php (replacing yourlmssite.org with the address of your LMS site). This is useful when a LMS site is moved from one server to another or when the URL changes.

Alternatively, a command line script can be used to search and replace text. See Administration via command line for details.

Warning: A database backup should be created before performing a search and replace.
