XF 1.2 Template modification - Add content at the end

[Rigel Kentaurus]

This should be a very basic question, I am trying to add content at the end of the template

I figured I could that with Regex, however, when I set it up as ..

Regular Expression:

^(.*)$

Substitution:

$0 MY_CONTENT

That does not work. It tells me the Regex is not valid. What is the correct way of doing this?

This is what I have been using:

/<dl class="ctrlClass">(.*?)<\/dl>/is

Replace:

$0 YOUR_CONTENT

I think the thing missing from your regular expression is the delimiter and modifier. So I wonder if this works:

/^(.*)$/is

It requires delimiter and modifier? That is weird.
Let me try ...

It's not weird. PHP regex always requires delimiter and modifier.

Unless you mean you feel XF should apply one automatically. In which case this way gives us more control, I guess.

Yeah, I would've expected XF to add that for me. My reasoning is that the user should not be aware of the language underneath. I use regexes on my text editor all the time, I don't care if the text editor is implemented in perl, python, or C

Anyway, thanks. That worked like a charm.

/^(.*)$/is

that works
