Global rename - is it possible with vBulletin?
 

Hi,

I have renamed my vBulletin forum from 'KGadget' to 'YJzone'.

Now, a lot of posts contain the word 'KGadget' and I wish to rename that all to 'YJzone'.

Is there a way/tool/mod which can do this 'global rename' task?

If yes, how can I do it (or where can I download this tool/mod)?

Thanks in advance,

YJ

This SQL query should do it if you want to make it a permanent change:

UPDATE post SET pagetext = REPLACE(pagetext,'OldName','NewName')

You may also have to rebuild the post cache after you run the update, which is under AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters.

Of course, as always, back up your database before doing this.

Cool, many thanks! :)
