I'm sorry as this might a dumb question for you, but I'm newbie in XF.

How do I install this Add-on?

After downloaded, and extracted, I got these files:

Which one I should upload? and to which path?

You need to upload the full PostReplace folder into your library folder.

 

[blemex]

All to Library, then insert the addon_PostReplace.xml from admin.php right?

Installing a New Add-on

The exact procedure for installing a new add-on will be directed by the creator of that add-on. However, in general, the procedure will be as follows:

Download the add-on and unzip it.
Upload the add-ons files into your XenForo installation. This will usually create a new directory within the library/ directory in your XenForo installation. In general, this shouldn’t overwrite any existing files.
From your control panel, go to the "install add-on" page. The add-on will have provided an XML file somewhere within it. Upload that file here and submit the form.

Thanks for confirming guys

I uploaded all folders to /var/www/library/ as instructed.

Imported the .XML as instructed.



But when I click 'Replace in Posts':



The 'Replace in Posts' link gone, and it returns me an Error - The requested page could not be found.

 

[EQnoble]

Are all of those folders in:

/var/www/library/PostReplace

 

[blemex]

LoL, I put those on /var/www/library/*

I moved them to /var/www/library/PostReplace and now it's working.

Thank you for your clue

thank you

before I respond with an expression...I want to make sure we are on the same page.

This is for posts in a thread correct?

 

[alkahf]

many times users put link of other thread in them post so it was ht tp://************/forum/showthread.php?t=xxxx
After imported from vb i need to change these links to ht tp://************/forum/index.php?threads/xxxx

 

[EQnoble]

Ok but you should know that if you do this this way, any links in posts that are not to your own forum but follow that same scheme will be broken.

Realistically to do this right I would need a full link including your forum's domain.

If you are absolutely positive that no other links in your forum go to a vb based forum outside of your own than I can give you an expression that will work as you asked, otherwise I will need to capture more than just the part you posted.

If that is what you need to do...but it will not change the data in the posts...they will still display incorrect links to your forum even if they redirect once clicked on.

I have never had a vb forum to import so I really can't tell you based on that fact...your best bet would be to ask @Mike about that but if it were me and I did import a forum I would assume the redirection script would be used to redirect inbound traffic to your site to the appropriate places and I would still replace the text in posts that referrance my own forum so that everything looked clean and right.

After importing from smf, all my old quotes look like this:

[quote author=liloleman link=topic=45883.msg155275#msg159275 date=1359910405]

Can someone tell me what replacement string would work for replacing this with [ quote="username" ]

TIA
