- - a fix for a ubb conversion utility problem? (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=2406)

Has anyone created some type of hack that will search the post table for all signs of "smile.gif" "biggrin.gif" etc and replace it with the necessary keyboard stroke? I converted from ubb and my images arent in the same directory and I just need an easy way to replace all the [ img ]http://www.extremeforums.com/smile.gif[ /img ] tags with ": )"

Anyone done such a thing?

Umm... I'm staring at the import code now, and that's part is fine. As a matter of fact, I know it worked for me...

example line:

Code:

$htmlcode=str_replace("<IMG SRC=\"$ubbnoncgiurl/smile.gif\">",":)",$htmlcode);

You must've inputted the the NonCGI URL incorrectly...

Umm i can assure you that I inputed the NonCGIURL correctly or vbulletin would have never found all my threads...

Either way I guess im still going to need a fix for this :( Do you have any ideas? I have already narrowed it down and found out how many posts have the incorrect link in there by creating a little page that selects from the database where pagetext contains "smile.gif" ..etc.

Here is is:

The number is a little off and this is the long way of doing it...thats why I was wondering if anyone has / could create this ?

Thanks

Oh and in refrence to your comment above.....

I too am staring at the import code. Check out this line:

Code:

  // do code tags

  $htmlcode=str_replace("<BLOCKQUOTE><font size=\"1\" face=\"arial,helvetica\">code:</font><HR><pre>","[ code ]",$htmlcode);

  $htmlcode=str_replace("</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>","[ / code ]",$htmlcode);

In order for that to work on my site it would have had to read:

Code:

  // do code tags

  $htmlcode=str_replace("<BLOCKQUOTE><font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">code:</font><HR><pre>","[ code ]",$htmlcode);

  $htmlcode=str_replace("</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>","[ /code ]",$htmlcode);

Is there any way to get a fix for this too? Now all my pots with code look like this:

OK i fixed a little something up but I think i goofed it. Could someone please have a look? Its does the find/replace just fine but it fills every row with the same info! Not good.....

Here it is:

Could someone please let me know if they see anything wrong with the above code? I would hate to destroy my site!

Thanks

I just added a redirect code in my .htaccess for the old smilies directory to the new one - works like a charm!

Ouch! That's got to be killing your server though :( Each hit for an image is making multiple requests to your web server processes...

Hasn't affected it that much (so you've seen). I actually started doing it about a week ago, and I haven't seen any change in performance whatsoever. Since these are only for old posts, it isn't that often.

08-16-2000 08:11 PM

Oh ok, I guess that's true, it is only the old posts, so that redirect will be less and less as time goes by.

If you had a script that changed it automatically, wouldn't it cause just as much stress on the server since it needs to run that program everytime an old smilie comes up?

I didn't take a look at the script, but I was under the impression that this was a data cleanup type program that would run once for the entire database, and fix all the links. Once it ran, all would be well.

Ah, I guess it would help if I read the entire thread LOL - but no, I like my little solution :D
