How to update value in image_url from contact table while moving site
May 22, 2013, 04:05:42 am
Hi,
I have migrated the civicrm DB from one site to another.
and upgraded the civicrm.

The problem is that i have contacts with profile image.
I also noticed that when a image is uploaded for contact it does not create any entry in table civicrm_file it only creates image_url entry in civicrm_contact table.
So many contacts are having entry like <oldsite>/sites/files/civicrm/custom/image.jpg
Images are also copied to new server. But it is refering to old server file path.

How to solve this problem. Is there any step which i missed during moving/upgrading civicrm ?

Or should i update the contact table for column image_url from <oldsite>/sites/files/civicrm/custom/image.jpg to <newsite>/sites/files/civicrm/custom/image.jpg using sql queries.

Thanks

Coleman Watts

We do not handle this very well - we are storing an URL rather than a file pointer in that contact field.
AFAIK the only fix is to issue an UPDATE query on your database to do some string replacement on those urls.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.
