Post Content Find / Replace 1.0.0

If you insist on using a mod like this

Dear friend, I do not insist on anything
Please reread my post:

Hmmm. You're probably right and this is a tool for occasional use.
It happens that lately I have replaced a lot of text using phpMyAdmin

The only thing that interests me is that XenForo becomes the best forum software available, nothing more.

Was you able to find a fix for this as I'm having the same issue. Finds posts and everything looks correct, check Save Changes and nothing gets changed.

bump.

The plugin still doesn't work. Any fixes?

 

[MYstIC G]

Trying to kill some old smiley faces but no matter what I try I can't get this to work:

Quick Find: ph34r
Regular Expression: /(:ph34r:)/
Replacement String: fear

Any pointers appreciated chaps as I'm getting nowhere fast and I've been using RegExr to build the expressions and the searches all come up with results they just don't seem to commit

Ok, we have a fix for ya. There was a slight bug in kiers code that had it looking in the wrong field, causing it to never load the old post when it came time to save.

Note, the fixed php controller is attached, just wanted to show you the diff so you had an idea of what to expect.

edit: well, i tried to attach it at least maybe it needs to be approved...

Please, can you upload the fixed php file?

 

[whyweprotest]

I'll try again, but it didn't like it as a .php or a .zip... yah, same thing. Uploader goes to 100% and then when I hit post, nothing.

edit: removed file link to avoid confusion since kier has updated the OP.

http://www.filedropper.com/postreplacephp try that

Downloaded, thanks! Will test on my site.

 

[CyberAP]

That worked for me!

 

[Kier]

I've updated the first post with the updated, fixed version. Thanks to whyweprotest for taking the time to spot the oopsie.

 

[Paul]

Could i ask something about this, since it seems extrememly powerful, and i'm really not sure if what i want to do is possible!!

Some of my content includes quotes from previous postings a la newsgroup style. the only way to destinguish this is that the line starts with a ">" symbol. This may carry on over several lines.

is there any way in which this could be used to replace the multiple line ">" started content and put this lump into a "quote" box??

Thx[/quote]

 

[MYstIC G]

Thanks to whyweprotest for taking the time to spot the oopsie.

Indeed, thanks whyweprotest and to you Kier for writing this in the first place.

 

[EQnoble]

Yes thank you Kier and whyweprotest...this WILL help me.

This is just what I need, but I can't get it to run. Uploaded folders and contents to corresponding folders in /Xenforo/Library. Installed .xml file as usual. Here's what I get when I click on Replace in Posts. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

 

[gldtn]

how can I use this to replace embed code like this:

<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>

 

[gldtn]

Do the files in the zip go under library/xenforo corresponding folders? Or do I just upload the entire postreplace folder into xenforo/library?

 

[Kier]

Place the entire PostReplace directory into the /library/

 

[TNCclubman]

amazing

 

[gldtn]

Place the entire PostReplace directory into the /library/

kier, may you assist me with the youtube embed code?

 

[Kier]

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.
