I have a forum running on a server where we don't want users on right now. We have created a few topics on that and now we want to bring it to the live envirionment.

Example.
dev. server: dev.domain.com
live serever: www.domain.com

Before we go to live I wanted to test if everything works. I have created a dns record called test.domain.com that points to the same ip as dev.domain.com

If I then browse to test.domain.com al my links in my forum still keep on pointing to dev.domain.com. However all my joomla article links are fine.

How can i fix this?

Thats because the links for the site are stored in the sql DB to change then you would have to edit the DB and change them :)

OW i don't like that at all. Stange that joomla can handle this and kunena not.

anyway is there a script out there that can do this? like replace dev.domain.com by test.domain.com to see if it works as expected.

it's standard kunena. If you select a picture, click in the img button and submit it will put the complete address in the message. So you can indeed not change the name of your website without all links getting broken.

so export table: jos_fb_messages_text
search and replace dev.domain.com by test.domain.com
empty table: jos_fb_messages_text
import the altered contents back into jos_fb_messages_text

and that should be it.
