Strip bbcode from posts with mysql query

Hello,

I am wanting to remove formatting from post text such as font, size, and color.

sample text

I need to preserve things such as bold/italic/underline. So the above text would turn out like:

sample text

Is there a database query I could run on the posts table that would accomplish this? Can someone provide an example?

I don't know if there's an easy way to do it using a query, but you can use a small php script. Borrowing a nice script that Adrian posted in this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=266166 , you could do something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ 8192);



require('./global.php');



$result = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT postid, pagetext FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post");



while ($post = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($result)) {    

$new = preg_replace("#\[/?(color|size|font)(=\s*\"?.*?\"?\s*)?]#i", '', $post['pagetext']);

   if ($new != $post['pagetext'])

   {

       $vbulletin->db->query_write(fetch_query_sql(

           array('pagetext' => $new),

           'post',

           'WHERE postid = ' . $post['postid']

       ));

   }

}  



die('Done');

(I tried this out, but you'd probably want to back up the db before running this, just in case).
