Post Content Find / Replace 1.0.0

[EQnoble]

well here is the thing, I would not capture the pieces individually, I would be capturing the tags and the content in between with one expression and then literally swapping the tags...

I need to know what will be in the tags to do that. If you don't want to tell me that the best I can do is offer you this...

Quick Find:            [amazon]
Regular expression:    #\[amazon\]([0-9]+)(\/.+)?\[\/amazon\]#siu
Replacement String:    [ media=amazon]\1[ /media]

// if you want to include the crap after the ASIN use this below for the Replacement String instead. 
[media=amazon]\1\2[ /media]

In the tags are ten digit numbers, sometimes mixed with letters

e.g. 3442478669 // [ amazon]3442478669[ /amazon]

or B00APVVZBM // [ amazon]B00APVVZBM[ /amazon]

or B00AN0MCG2 // [ amazon]B00AN0MCG2[ /amazon]

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
