Hello,
How would I go about removing both

? I do not use them anymore and they mess up my posts.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I have entered the following and when leaving the Save Changes box un-ticked I see nothing after running proceed and I think I should get a list of matches displayed.

Any ideas, anyone?

Please paste a full example from a post with that bbcode in it (view the post as an admin and click edit on it, copy that and paste it here in between code tags)

I think the code in my post in the link below will do the job, my problem is I can't get the addon to do anything!

That will not help me help you though, I really need the exact content of the post, what you see when you click edit on a post, otherwise I have no clue why it would not be working or even where to start looking for errors.

Hi EQnoble,

I have installed the add on and it appears to have been installed correctly as I can use it to enter the Quick find, Regular Expression and Replacement String. However, Nothing is displayed when I click on Process, even though I know I have posts with the strings in them.

From reading the thread it appears that if you leave the Save Changes box un-ticked and click Proceed you should see a list of found occurences, I get nothing being found. Could it be a permissions issue?

I can not tell you that, like I said I would REALLY need you to click 'edit' on a post with one instance of the bbcode you are trying to change, if you think from my side of the problem here and flip it, it would be like me asking you if 86 is the answer to a math problem which i have not told you... you don't know if I am asking if 86 is the correct answer to 85 + 1 or if I am asking if 20+3 = 86, in essence without me giving you enough information you can not possibly know if you are giving good info in your answer to me. Back to reality, that is the same here with your problem but with bbcodes instead of math and switched positions.

I can't and wont answer you until you can show me a post with the bbcode in it because we are dealing with regex and if I make an expression for you and it catches but is wrong...it will probably mess up your posts table.

Again please click EDIT on a post containing the bbcode you want to replace and paste that code here in a code box otherwise I simply can not help you with any sort of value.

I can see why it is not working already.

Ok before I get started, in that first block of code...is there anything following that in the post?

[youtube][media=youtube]-SQLt-SUWOw[/media] , I see an odd youtube tag in front of the media but not after, did you cut that off or is this how all of your tags look now?

Ark Royal · Sep 11, 2013

Sorry mate you picked up my post as I was editing it!
I forgot to use the code tags and the forum converted my link when I posted it.
The following is what I have

Code:

It is all ok now I have got the add on working now

Hi,

This has been a great tool and I have been able to correct the youtube and links on my site that transferred over from phpbb to Xenforo. However, the following youtu.be links were not converted.

Code:

[BBvideo 560,340:3pjz5b3f][media=youtube]at5jgYeBmqU[/media]

and

Code:

[BBvideo 560,340:19v4pt66]http://youtu.be/Lzwm2ZW-FJE[/BBvideo]

Does anyone know the proper expression to fix these links?

Thank You

Thanks EQnoble!!! Those worked great.

I searched around but couldn't find this. I've succesfully removed other bbcodes but I'm having trouble with the COLOR bbcode. Now, I've removed everything that has alphabetic characters, for example [ color=RED ] (without the spaces obviously), but I don't know what the regular expression would be to remove the color tags that have hex numbers in them, for example:

Code:

[color=#003300]

One more that I just found out: In many threads, there is a MAJOR problem with some random img code having thousands of lines of code , which I don't know how it got there (it's usually among other img codes which work just fine). So I'm looking for a regular expression to remove all instances that are like this:

Code:

[img]http://www.mydomain.com/data:image/ThousandsOfCharactersHereIncludingNumbersLettersSymbols[/img]

EQnoble · Oct 6, 2013
