Text Replacement 1.0.2

Unfortunately, it gets a bit troublesome/fiddly when considering replacing just part of a string. You run into situations where a word will have unexpected parts of itself replaced.

Ex) Replacing the string "car" with the string "vehicle" would end up creating replacements like "vehiclerot" (from the word carrot).

For that reason, I chose to make the plugin only match whole words. Sorry.

I understand und you are right with it. Would it be a lot oft work to do it both ways so that the admin can choose the way the string gets replaced?

For the Admin there coud be a second inputflied for repalcements within strings. So it would be a new function every user could choose.

kind regards

Does no answer mean, that you don't wand this function in your PlugIn or did you just forget to answer?

kind regards

Hey Susi!

It's unlikely I'll end up adding this because of the room for *perceived* issue. While it wouldn't be extremely hard to program it, it's very likely that even those who choose to use it will run into unintended side effects.

Ok, thank your for your feedback.

kind regards

Both are available.

I will be trying to do so. Right now I'm overwhelmed with the finalizing of the transfer from my current forum software to my new forum software. I'm hoping I'll have time to update all of my plugins for use with WSC in the coming couple months or so.

Unfortunately not. You can only put in text strings which are searched for in a case insensitive manner.

Yep! I got the issue fixed after PolUser was able to provide the error message. I have a fix pending approval in the Plugin-Store. If you'd like to get the fix sooner just shoot me a PM and I'll get you sorted out.

I'll need more information that that to help. Copy pasting the error or screenshotting it would work. Without that information I have trouble even finding a place to begin guessing.
- What's your wcf and wbb versions?
- What's your PHP version?
- Does your host specifically forbid any PHP functions or functionality?

Hi Nice Plugin

Probably I found that error - I'm on XAMPP with php 7.0.9. When I'm trying to enter into User Panel --> Text Replacement (to edit words) I got crash. Log from ACP:

Hope that helps

Indeed it does! I'm right in the middle of some other stuff, but I'll look into this today and see if I can't both replicate and fix it. Thanks for the help!

Sorry for the delay! Been slammed with stuff lately. With your error message I was able to get the issue fixed in short order (a subtle but very important difference in how "empty" JSON structures are handled in PHP7).

I've committed the update to the Plugin Store, but if either of you would like to apply the fix directly to your installs (its an update to a single function in a single file) just send me a Conversation and I can help you out.

The fix should be live now, if you give the plugin an update.

That's no good! Can you share some more information as to what happened? Some other information that'd be useful is:
- what error you saw
- any related error messages
- wcf and wbb version

We'll get this fixed for you, I just need a little more information to work with first.

I tried changing my test forum's default language and my test account's language to German, but it still works as expected. Unfortunately, nothing else pops out as something that's likely to be different between your forum and the forums it was tested on.

pictures for what? read the text - then you dont need any pictures

Whoops! Looks like they got lost when I added the German translation; added them back.

Thanks for the Pictures.

Of course! Let me know if you have any questions, as chances are good that others will have the same questions.

I don't speak German myself; a German speaking acquaintance was kind enough to translate the plugin language file for me. If someone were to provide some German description text, I'd be happy to include it here.

I've added a Google Translate German version, but I shutter to think how it looks to native German speakers.

Thanks.

Of course! Do let me know if it's an offensively bad translation.
