[wp-hackers] Site Address during development

[Christopher Bratlien]

One solution which works for me is to put these 9 lines into functions.php
before I begin saving content during the dev phase:

function bsdrelative_content_replace_url($content) {
  return str_replace(get_bloginfo('url'),'[url]',$content);
}
add_filter('content_save_pre','bsdrelative_content_replace_url');

function bsdrelative_url_shortcode($atts, $content = null) {
  return get_bloginfo('url');
}
add_shortcode("url", "bsdrelative_url_shortcode");

This is also available as a plugin:
