Strange.
Probably not your issue, but I spent 15 minutes earlier this week trying to figure out why my change seemingly wasn't doing anything before realising I had the wrong URL in the address bar. headsmack
You have to modify the file
column in sym_entries_data_xx
for each entry as well to reflect the new path.
@klaftertief I see. I assumed that it used the path from the field table, but I can see the logic as to why not.
Thanks very much!
That worked a treat, thanks.

THis is an interesting one for sure...
I've had to move some files from
/workspace
into/workspace/uploads/images
due to my idiocy of specifying the path wrong.I thought I'd be clever about this and just physically move them, then make the changes in the database. So, I moved the files, found the correct field in the
sym_fields_uniqueupload
and changed the path. I then checked thesym_entries_data_xx
table to ensure it was ok, which it is.I then deleted any caches I have, the DB cache, the
/manifest/cache
files and my browser's local cache.Weirdly, the install, frontend, debug etc are still looking for the images in the old location??? After I have changed everything to the new one. Has anyone come across this before, how did you do it?
