Do you have a patch for  XrefHelper?-This would be very useful for us.

Hi Marsh,
We have worked on similar issue at Etudes and in our etudes-util project,there is a XrefHelper class which parses the content and for all embedded media translates the url and
changes it from old site id to new site id. We have included the call to XrefHelper methods on tool's transferCopyEntities().

I am pointing here for reference only and this work is not tested on Sakai 2.6 and higher versions,
thanks,
Rashmi

    I realize that some tools are packaged to stand alone or plug into
    other systems, but I'd really like to see Sakai have some
    standardized ways of sharing data between tools and for converting
    relative links to site-specific tools when importing from one site
    to another. For a developer porting a separate tool, meeting these
    standards would be the price of admission. A good API could make the
    process relatively painless. I'm thinking of Unix stdin, stdout,
    pipes, etc. as models of inter-module communications.

I'll start a jira for the Resources update. It only works if you are

saving Resources to the file system, rather than to the database, which

production systems will do. I'm not sure what would happen if you save

Resources to the DB. I'm a bit concerned about it being inefficient,

however, as it copies the file then checks to see if it is of type text

and if it is reads it in and changes any instance of the old site id

before writing the file out and updating the file size.



In Melete, if you link to a file in the site Resources and do an Import

>From Site, the file will be added to Melete's own resource area on the

new site and the link updated appropriately. We have bypassed this so

that it will still link to Resources but with an updated URL whilst

still copying over the file from old to new site. I don't think etudes

are likely to want this in their core code as it breaks the

self-contained nature of Melete.
