hello together,

I am wondering if I can use URL parameters to replace text dynamically on the page.

E.g. let say I have following scenarios:

Scenario1:
example.com/myWildPath?urlParam1=myText1&myParam2=myText2
Now I would like to use the value of myParam1 and myParam2 as the replacement text in a article.

Scenario2:
example.com/myWildPath_myText1_myText2
Now I want to do the same as in scenario1, I want to replace the my text in a article with the encoded url params

Is there a way to achieve both scenarios?
If so, could you share a sample incl. the eventually needed php code?

Hello Peter,

thank you for your quick reply

Okay got it how to fetch the params from JFactory for scenario1

But how can I now pass the parameters to ReReplcaer, or is there a better suggested way to replace text based on the URL-params?

sorry now completely confused.

Could you share me a example how to use the values of the params to do a search and replace? Or is it totally not possible?
Lets say I want to replace [someDummyText] in a article with the value of myParam1 of my example.

got your point, but still unclear how to use it in combination with php and rereplace
do you have a simple example with a arbitrary text let say "someDummyText" and to repace it with the value of myParam1, let say myParam1=helloPeterHereTheValueOfTheParamPassedByTheUrl

now got it. Was searching on how to add the php code in my article. But it was the replacement string in rereplacer. Works now and thank you.

I have a minor fix of your code to also take urlencoded URL-params

Thanks, I was able to use this technique to rewrite a 3rd party Joomla search landing page to include a link to search the entire site using Joomla core search:

I am attempting to do something similar with the following in Replace:

If the search word triggered has multiple words they are inserted with a plus sign ('+') between the words in the search query. (...&utm_term=red+dog) The above does not replace the + with a space. Instead the words become concatenated on the page. reddog

I was tested the above with other characters like a dash or letter a, and those characters get replaced on the page.

Is there something different about a plus sign ('+')? How can I replace them with a space?

Ive got Case sensitive and RR_REPLACE_WITH_PHP toggled to 'Yes'.

TIA

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your quick response. Yes sir, I did have that urldecode in the wrong place. Thank you.

Even so, I have also tried it as you have it too:and it is returning a concatenated search string.

I can use:to get the desired results, but am concerned its not the Joomla! way.

I see RR_REPLACE_WITH_PHP as well as RR_MAX_REPLACEMENTS and RR_STRIP_SURROUNDING_P_TAGS in the ReReplacer Details Tab

RR_ENABLE_IN_EDIT_FORMS can be seen in the Search Areas Tab.

Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the Pro version?

Thanks again!

Thank you sir!

I usedas suggested, and I still get a concatenated term

&utm_term=red+dog becomes reddog

Thank you!!!
