[3.6.5] Find and Replace in Templates

[|Jordan|]

When i do a "Find and Replace in Templates", the page doesnt auto forward. I have to manually click "Next Page" on every page (time consuming).

It worked for me in previous versions and has been disabled in 3.6.5.

Don't believe it ever had an autoforward to be honest.

If it did, BRING IT UP, as this is likely a bug. www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php

Hmm, it auto brings it up in 3.0.17 and it appears to be a feature, not a bug.

I found the code that controls it, but cant figure out where to put it (im not familiar with 3.6.x structure yet).

<p align="center" class="smallfont"><a href="template.php?do=replace&regex=0&requirerebuild=0&test=0&dostyleid=22&startat_template=50&startat_style=0&searchstring=%3Cbr%3E&replacestring=%3Cbr%3E" onclick="javascript:clearTimeout(timerID);">Processing Complete - Proceed</a></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
myvar = ""; timeout = 10;
function exec_refresh()
{
window.status="Redirecting..."+myvar; myvar = myvar + " .";
timerID = setTimeout("exec_refresh();", 100);
if (timeout > 0)
{ timeout -= 1; }
else { clearTimeout(timerID); window.status=""; window.location="template.php?do=replace&regex=0&requirerebuild=0&test=0&dostyleid=22&startat_template=50&startat_style=0&searchstring=%3Cbr%3E&replacestring=%3Cbr%3E"; }
}
exec_refresh();
</script>

No, the fact that its not there may be a bug and should be reported :)

I reported it on vb support page too, i added it here too cause i thought that a coder here could get to it faster.

Looks like you're correct, it was disabled to prevent a cross site forgery attack (i submitted a bug report)


It was intentionally made into a POST request to stop a potential cross site forgery attack where someone forces you to that URL via an image or something similar.
