Hi there, I've had a similar situation where I needed to replace
To do this, I used the following query through PhpMyAdmin:

However, I'm not sure what you need to replace or in which table it is located.
In any case, you should be extremely cautious when modifying things in the database and I recommend you not to do it yourself, but to hire an expert to help you.
I just wanted to share my solution and I don't want to encourage you to do the same.

Hi Miri,
thx for your help.
What I'm looking for is a simple on the fly replacement for keywords and random strings. For example with this old add-on it was possible to use any string like "XYZ" and replace it with HTML or BBCODE. This was very useful maybe if you change someones username. I used this tool to change it everywhere and could also link it to the profile. This is a little bit like censorship but easier and more complex. I know that I can change it in the database, but this is more complex and could result in unwanted effects ...
So I decided to use BBCODE which is a little less comfortable ...

Did you take a look at the addon I posted? It doesn't require you to know coding, regex or php. It does what you want to do although not sure what you mean with html replacement. Ask in the addons thread before you buy so you are on the safe side.But no replacement ... what a pity ...

Yes, I've took a look ... What I need is not only linking existing strings/keywords but also replacing those with html/bbcode: If you type for example "xyz" you get MyNiceDiscussionBoard maybe with link or without. This was possible with the old add-on or also only linking or any other replacement on the fly. If a member changed his Username from BadUserGuy to BestUserEver, I changed it with this tool everywhere. In each post, also in quotes, very useful.

As far as I know you can replace with anything you want. Should work. But I would need to test but can't right now.
Just be on the safe side and ask on the addon's thread.
