To do this per category, go into ldm/admin/categories; find the category of interest; select mass edit.

Depending on the number of entries in the category, you might need to change the number in the top right hand box on the screen (which is the number of entries displayed) and select 'view'.

Go down towards the bottom of the screen, click 'select all', then click 'edit url'

The two boxes s/this/that/ are what does the work. Put the '^' symbol in the first box (without quotes) and put http://www.address.com in the second. Then select submit

Be careful, as there's no 'undo' facility - probably a good idea to take a backup first (ldm/admin/import and export/xml)

If you want to do this on your whole database, you can either do it a category at a time - alternatively, if you've not made much use of the 'forums' protection mechanism, you can short cut the process on the ldm/admin/categories screen by going right to the bottom of the page, to the 'forums permissions' section, and choosing the mass edit links there.
