Post Content Find / Replace 1.0.0

[EQnoble]

I need to replace all links in the posts from

http://www.domain.com/ to
http://domain.com/

Only for certain domain.com

Quick Find:

[URL]http://

Regular expression: *replace DOMAIN with your domain - if not a .com replace com with whatever it is

#(\[url]http://)(?:www\.)(DOMAIN\.com(?:[^\[]+)?\[/url])#siu

Replacement String:

\1\2

The best way to replace in a similar way to above?

Thank you SO much! (Don't worry, I got the edited one).

I got one more, it seems many links from my vb installation that were being generated live using the old vbgeek GAL addon, have been copied in my xenforo installation , and I need to remove them asap, as they point to nowhere.

All of these are links, and have the form of: http://www.mydomain.com/glossary.phpANYTHINGHEREOINCLUDINGSYMBOLS

or http://www.mydomain.com/glossary/againanythinghere

So I guess I need to remove the whole link tag for these entries.

I've decided to just remove all these links , can you please help me out?

Basically i want to remove the link code, the text itself obviously should remain as it's part of the post text

 

[EQnoble]

Hit edit on one of the posts...are all of these posts wrapped with some kinds of bbcode tag, if they are paste that here or let me know otherwise

 

[Dakis]

Oh, yup, sure, here we go

[URL='http://www.travelstories.gr/glossary.php?do=item&id=42']Barcelona[/URL]

but they also come across like so:

[URL='http://www.travelstories.gr/glossary/whateverhereagain']Barcelona[/URL]

I want to remove the url bbcodes code and keep the text between it.

See if this works for you. Test it first


Quick Find:

glossary

Regular expression:

#\[URL='http://(?:www\.)?travelstories\.gr/glossary(?:\.php[^']+|/[^']+)']([^\[]+)\[/url]#siu

Replacement String:

\1

 

[Dakis]

Thanks that worked!

What about the second type of url ?

 

[EQnoble]

That catches both

 

[Dakis]

It only produced results for the first type. So I didn't get any /glossary/ url's showing up.

Edit: Hmm, also for some reason it didn't catch all of the first ones. Not sure why...

 

[EQnoble]

I just, checked it catches both types as per the examples.

Note that if you applied the changes it wont catch anything anymore and if you did that the first time you caught both types.

 

[Dakis]

No I did no "save" the first time, and it only found 58 results, I should have thousands of them. Lemme investigate more , perhaps they're different tags or something.

 

[EQnoble]

don't save anything but check this... how many does it come up with

Quick Find:
travelstories

Regular expression:
#travelstories\.gr/glossary(?:\.php[^']+|/[^']+)']([^\[]+)#siu

 

[Dakis]

That gives me an error

sorry I forgot to put the delimiters in the post, edited it

 

[Dakis]

Yup that finds nothing either.

 

[EQnoble]

Try that

#travelstories\.gr/glossary(?:\.php|/)#siu

 

[Dakis]

yeah that finds lots, but only up to the glossary.php point or the /glossary/ point.
