Updating all <Item Link> properties when changing the Web Site Root folder

When updating the Web Site Root folder, the following message may appear:

 
What is this?

As described in the <Item Link> help topic, your menu items may link to pages using relative paths. These links are relative to the specified Web Site Root folder.

But what happens if you change the Web Site Root to a different folder? In that case your links will not be able to open the pages because the path to the root folder is changed.

For example, if your Web Site Root folder is c:\mysite, the link to the page c:\mysite\products.htm would be products.htm.

If you then change the Web Site Root folder to c:\mysite\subfolder, the link to the page c:\mysite\products.htm should be updated to ../products.htm.

This is why you may want to press the [Yes] button in the above message, so that AllWebMenus automatically updates all <Link> properties to the correct path to the Web Site Root folder.
