--------I know this means quite some work------
Since path (node placement) is unfortunately not kept with object versions, some conversion should be done before moving anything. Links in forum messages should be converted to /content/view/full/<nodeid> upon posting if they refer to content on ez.no. --------------------------------------- Actually, this is the universal nightmare of persistent content. The use of /content/view/full/node-id is probably the only way to go in the long term for content within one-and-ony-one site. One of the things to discuss in the future developments of ez publish is to how to use universal locators of content in general, even across sites. This is also one of the tough issues for W3C standardisation, allthough some of it is addressed in a down to earth approach: http://purl.oclc.org/ What we want to do is setting up something like that and integrate this into ezpublish. Perhaps not for every content object, but at least for some classes where a upon creation of a new object, a PURL is registred into the local as well as a central server. An ezpublish template operator could then be used to generate always the PURL link (for backwards compatibility --generate a PURL if one does not exist yet) together with a new object attribute delivering the very same PURL. Something for discussion at the summer camp I guess.... Paul
