Allows administrators to replace the base URL in <img> and <a> elements.
Users tend to create links and images in their content with absolute URLs. This can be a problem if the site moves to another domain (perhaps between development and production sites) or is behind a proxy, with a different address for authenticated users.
Some replacement examples:
Before: Some link
After: Some link
Before: 
After: 
You can setup such replacements in the URL Replace Filter settings as follow:
Original: http://example.com:8080/
Replacement: %baseurl/
Original: http://dev.example.com/
Replacement: %baseurl/
%baseurl is a token for your site's base URL. The above examples assume a site located in the domain's root directory (in which case %baseurl is actually empty).
Drupal versions
The module is available for Drupal 10, 9, 8, 6, 5, and 4.7. In most cases, Drupal 7 has better alternatives.
