Site Cloning domain name references missed

When I clone a site, I find burrined in various plug-ins domain name referenecs that missed inheriting the new domain name during the Clone restore.    

 

Is there a process I can follow to open the tar ball and locate all of these and replace with some kind of tag, then remake the tarball so the clone will work correctly in the future?

If the plugins hard-coded the old url, you most probably will find references to it in the administrator/backups/database-sql.sql file inside the backup archive, you could use a search and replace option with any text editor, save it, and retry the restore process with the new backup

Is there any tags Xcloner uses when restoring?

At the moment XCloner does not use tags for this process, you could modify the restore script to do that by adding your own tag in the database and then replacing it through the XCloner.php mysql import function split_sql($sql)

I know very little php..

Am I on the right track?  

 

function split_sql($sql) {
        $ret = array();
        $sql = str_replace("n) ", "n) ;n#n#", $sql);
        $sql = str_replace("n–n","n#n",$sql);
        $sql = str_replace("n– ","n# ",$sql);
        $sql = str_replace("n/*","n#/*",$sql);
        $sql = str_replace("old-domain-name.tld","new-domain-name.tld",$sql);
        $sql = ereg_replace("#n", "#;n", $sql);

Can I do a similar thing with files that have phrases hard coded that I want to mass change?  How would I go about it?

 

Thanks,

Duane

For files it is a little bit more complicated, it might be best to update the plugin/template settings manually where needed.

How much is "a bit more complicated"?  I'm not scared of "a bit".   I am scared of "a lot"..  he he he

I've programed quite a bit in perl, but not anything to speak of in php..  

Is there an example you can point me to?

Actually you would need to modify the TAR.php library, find the file extraction function, open the file for writing, get the file code, replace the code, write the file... 🙂
