Need to replace a word in posts but not in titles

[amykhar]

I just tried to use a replacement, but it replaces the word in thread titles as well.

Basically, I am trying to replace all instances of a word in a post with a link that I specify. Regular expressions make my eyes cross so I am going to need a wee bit of assistance on getting this one going please.

If you want to do all past posts, you can use REPLACE in an UPDATE query. If you mean all future posts...no idea. You'd need a new hack.

you'd probably have to edit functions.php for the postbit part(unless you want it permanent, then just do a query), newreply.php, and newthread.php, not sure what you'd have to do right off hand though

I am wondering if javascript would do it or something similar? You know those ad banners that change words on pages to links? Anybody know if such a thing exists in javascript?

Javascript is virtually never the answer to any problem ;)

I got it. I added a function in functions.php that does a string replace on the post before it is parsed for vbcode, etc. It works like a charm and this should help my affiliate programs do a bit better.

I wish I had seen this message earlier. I just got through doing the very same thing a few days ago. Easy, wasn't it? ;)
