Hi Peter,

I’m migrating tot Joomla 4, and the syntax of Snippets don’t work anymore.

I read some posts on regularlabs, bought the DP Replacer to replace snippets that all have the same syntax: {snippet justaword}

Want to replace them by {snippet alias="justaword"}

What tags should I use to do the replacement? Can you help?

Thanks,
Frank

DB Replacer doesn’t find any snippet in content/fulltext when I use \{snippet ([^"\|]*)\} in the search field

DP Replacer does find the word snippet in content/fulltext. When I press the Search button the maximum of 100 pages are found with that word in it. I.e. this tag: {snippet advertentie08}

So something is wrong with the syntax? Or do I have to do something extra?

Thanks,
Frank

Wow, I overlooked that option. After putting it on, it seems to work great!
Thanks Peter!

One more question: it does some strange things in the rare cases that there is a tab-tag behind the snippet-tag.

{snippet twijfel-slot}{tab=Groene Wissels}
is i.e. transformed to:
{snippet alias="twijfel-slot}{tab=Groene Wissels"}

Any suggestions?

In search box, with regular expression on: \{snippet ([^"\|]*)\}
In replace box: \{snippet ([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\}
Results in for instance: {snippet advertentie08} will be replaced by: \{snippet ([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\}

Did I do something wrong?

Ahhhhhhh, sorry, my mistake!
This works great!
Thanks again!
Frank

Hi Peter,
Using Joomla-articles and custom fields, this works great.

But something unexpected happens when using DP Replacer with Zoo-blogs: all content is stripped.

I select as Table ‘Zoo_item’
And as Colum ‘elements’

Search for: \{snippet ([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\}
Regular expression is on
Replace by: {snippet alias="\1"}

In the example everything looks OK (the same as Joomla-articles). I.e.
{snippet ttcameranu}{snippet alias="ttcameranu"}

But when I do the replacements, all content is stripped from the Zoo-blogs.

This is an example, there is nothing left, not on the front-end and not in the admin:
test.frankwandelt.nl/wandelen/wandelblogs/voetreis-naar-rome-1
This is the same article on my live site: www.frankwandelt.nl/wandelen/wandelblogs/voetreis-naar-rome-1

What should I do?

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Peter,
I’ve done exactly that three times before contacting you because I couldn’t believe this happening.

Yesterday I’ve only replaced snippets in 50 Zoo-blogs (I have about 700 blogs), and just now I’ve done a new serie of 50 blogs, with the same result, i.e. this one:
test.frankwandelt.nl/actieve-vakanties/d...nd-met-bagagevervoer

Best,
Frank

Ah, this works great! A huge time-saver for me!
Thanks again,
Frank
