Post Content Find / Replace 1.0.0

[gldtn]

Do your posts contain actual HTML, like the string you posted?

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DWD5Jr4hS9I&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DWD5Jr4hS9I&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

If so, you could try this search expression:

Find:

#<object[^>]+>(<param[^>]+></param>)+<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/(\w+)[^"]+"[^>]+></embed></object>#siU

Replace:

[media=youtube]\2[/media]

I haven't tested that, but it should work.

It found all the post, but when I clicked on save it replaced everything with a

[media=youtube]A # OR LETTER HERE[/media]

I'm guessing that can't be fixed now!

I hope you did this after performing a backup of your post table? I actually have no idea how you could have ended up with that 'A # OR LETTER HERE' text.

This is fantastic!

I have cleaned up a lot of my code, but I need regex help to make my quote bbcode correct, if anyone can help.

My old quote style was:
[quote name='username' timestamp='1281747597' post='387243']

What I would like to replace this with is:
[ quote="username" ]

(without the spaces around the braces)

Can anyone help with this regex?

 

[Kier]

/\[quote name='(.+)' timestamp='\d+' post='\d+'\]/siU

replaced with

[quote="$1"]

should do it

 

[sifuhall]

Thanks a million, Kier!

I have a lot of posts, so this error may not be occuring for everyone.

I get:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 43 bytes) in /home/[removed]/public_html/library/Zend/Db/Statement/Mysqli.php on line 304

 

[sifuhall]

Interestingly, increasing the memory allocated to PHP and restarting apache doesn't seem to affect this error.

Try disabling the memory_limit setting in libary/Application.php and try again (just comment it out)

 

[sifuhall]

sorry for being so dense, but I don't see library/Application.php?

 

[Paul B]

Try library/XenForo/Application.php

 

[sifuhall]

worked great!

Thank you!

Oops, sorry

Try library/XenForo/Application.php

I tried to comment out, but still getting a similar error, just the allocated bytes went from 43 to over 5k.

Any ideas?

Up the memory limit? Try setting memory_limit to 128M or something high like that.

OK, in Application.php, I would change this line (I assume) to what?

        @ini_set('memory_limit', 128 * 1024 * 1024);
        ignore_user_abort(true);

@ini_set('memory_limit', 8*1024*1024*128); would give you a limit of 128MB.

Nope. Went to this:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /home/glorify/public_html/new/forums/library/Zend/Db/Statement/Mysqli.php on line 294

 

[glorify]

Well, I left it at 128, and tried a test first, THEN it converted after. It wouldn't do it all at once. Thanks Kier.

This is awesome, Kier. I had some issues after using AME, and later on uninstalling it. A few dozen posts were left with broken tags.

With this, I can fix those errors when I finally make the live switch, and never have to worry about it again. Two thumbs up

Kier this addon is awesome. I was wondering is it technically possible to do something whereby it can be configured and set to run as a cron job?

My logic here is that say for example someone posted a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrbHykKUfTM link (that's for new X-Men trailer btw), a board admin could set up a cron that switches out the URL for the media tag, effectively XenForo sorts out daft posts automatically.

If it were possible, then I think something like this could also potentially be used by those wanting a RegEx swear filter. It could also be used to replace bad links in posts.

In the alternative maybe it would be possible to have XenForo apply RegEx's from a list when people actually submit their posts?

I know it's cheeky just to ask here but I'm clueless when it comes to coding and having managed to open up XenForo in Eclipse my brain hurt
