Wonky HTML after coverting from IPB to XF

[Yoruichi]

Here's the picture...

Is there anyway to fix the wonky HTML that IPB has?

Edit: XenForo 1.1.3 and IPB 3.4.x series

Use Kier's addon:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/post-content-find-replace.6548/

Quick Find: </p>

Regular Expression: #<p>(.*)</p>#siU

Replacement String: \1

You may wish to insert new lines after the paragraphs. I have had trouble using new lines in the actual replacement. I have had to use temporary values and then run a replacement query to insert new lines:

Quick Find: </p>

Regular Expression: #<p>(.*)</p>#siU

Replacement String: \1a.b.c.d.c.b.a

Then run this query on your database to replace the temporary string with a new line:

UPDATE xf_post
SET message = REPLACE(message, 'a.b.c.d.c.b.a', '\n');

I did that and now it gives me this error. I am assuming that you were to replace all of the folders and such with the proper files.

it's here - http://otakuhub.org/index.php?posts/503/ (forum offline, obviously)

Also throws an error saying the page doesn't exist when trying to go to the page in tools.

Fatal error: Class 'XenForo_Model_Post' not found in /home/pwndgame/public_html/library/XenForo/Model/Post.php on line 4I

When installing that addon the PostReplace folder is created inside of library. It's an entirely new directory.

KK, it's back to normal kinda..

Still does some of this even after running the query. Do I need to recache?

That first wut.png file is showing the error in the users signature. Kier's add-on is only doing replacement of the text inside the actual posted message, not the signature.

Oh, okay that was why then. So, users are basically forced to redo their signature?

That will be the easiest option (unless you go through them all yourself manually )

I figured so, already posted that announcement. ;P

All I gotta say is this is the best support I've gotten in months on any forum software company website.

Another question -- Is there anyway to replace the <div>, <strong>, and that list code? <li> or something it is.

• a list
• like
• this

For an example

 

[Jake Bunce]

<div>

Quick Find: </div>

Regular Expression: #<div>(.*)</div>#siU

Replacement String: \1

<strong>

Quick Find: </strong>

Regular Expression: #<strong>(.*)</strong>#siU

Replacement String: [b]\1[/b]

<li>

Two replacements (assuming ordered list, <ol>):

Quick Find: </ol>

Regular Expression: #<ol>(.*)</ol>#siU

Replacement String: [list]\1[/list]

...and:

Quick Find: </li>

Regular Expression: #<li>(.*)</li>#siU

Replacement String: [*]\1

OH.. I forgot one other.. I think. How about replacing images that are linked in HTML / CSS? thanks for your help

To make it an inline image:

Quick Find: <img

Regular Expression: #<img src="([^"]+)".*>#siU

Replacement String: [img]\1[/img]

Or you may wish to make it a hyperlink instead:

Quick Find: <img

Regular Expression: #<img src="([^"]+)".*>#siU

Replacement String: [url]\1[/url]
