Replace in html help?

Odin Mayland's Avatar Odin Mayland
I am trying to replace *text** to be replaced with some html so I can style it.

It works in other parts of the site but not in this Tabs content plugin.
This replace:

It does not work as you can see here:

Is it possible to replace text so that it looks something like this:
<span class="badge-gray">TEXT</span>

As you can see in the screenshot, the text is inside the title attribute of the link. So replacing that with HTML containing quotes, messes up the HTML structure.
So you need to make the replacement smarter to ignore the text inside HTML tag attributes.
There are settings in the ReReplacer item for this.

I think you are referring to the "Limit to a tag selection" and "Tag selection" settings.

I set this to Yes, but how do I prevent the title from being replaced and only allow the link-text?

Set it to NOT replace inside HTML tags.

Sorry for the confusion, but I initially had "Enable in HTML tags" set to No.


I still can't get RR to replace the anchor-text:
<a href="javascript:void(null);" title="Provision *1**">Provision *1**</a>
Peter van Westen's Avatar Peter van Westen ADMIN
Can you give a specific example of what it is you are trying to replace with what.
So the before and after HTML...
And do you have this online?

So should this:
<a href="javascript:void(null);" title="Provision *1**">Provision *1**</a>
Be replaced with this?
<a href="javascript:void(null);" title="Provision *1**">Provision <span class="badge-gray">*1**</span></a>
What possible text can be between the asterisks? Is it always numbers? Can it contain other HTML?

The text between the * ** can be either text or number. For example, *STEP 1**
Peter van Westen's Avatar Peter van Westen ADMIN
Try:
\*([^\*<"\n]+)\*\*

After saving it changes that code to this:

Please try the latest development version from:

Good news, is the latest version allows your search code to not be re-formatted.


But the replacement does not occur.

Can you give me (super) admin so I can take a look?
And tell me on what url I can see/reproduce the issue.

So ReReplacer is working fine.
If you look at the HTML output (not the Element Inspector), you can see:
<div class="jwts_tabber" id="jwts_tab1"><div class="jwts_tabbertab" title="Provision *STEP 1**"><h2 class="jwts_heading"><a href="#" title="Provision *STEP 1**">Provision <span class="badge-gray">STEP 1</span></a></h2></p>
So ReReplacer is making the replacement.

The title in your website seems to be created through javascript by jwts_tabber and ignores the HTML part.

So this is a question you should ask JWTS about...

Or use Regular Labs Tabs instead of jwts_tabber! ?

I was but I had to change to JWTS because our Helix template is using BS 4.

So.... I am not sure if RL Tabs was updated since we last discussed this issue or disabling the Fade was the solution, but now your Tabs is working!

I always celebrate too early 🙂.

I did find another issue but it may be more the Tabs/bootstrap issue. (I can create a new ticket if you perfer)

IF I put the *text** in the beginning of the title like this:

{tab title="*3** Model"}

THEN the browser will not open that tab.

On this page:
help.thinkiq.com/knowledge-base/getting-started/getting-started
there are these errors:

2bootstrap.bundle.min.js:6 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'querySelector' on 'Document': '#3-model' is not a valid selector.

Any idea if this is resolvable?
Peter van Westen's Avatar Peter van Westen ADMIN
Well, if you are indeed using a BS4 template, then you can indeed not use Regular Labs Tabs without issues.

Please try to separate the issues caused by the tabs extension you use and the ReReplacer results.
As far as I can tell, ReReplacer is working as it should.

I have another clue. If the Replaced text starts with a number it breaks that tab. If the Replaced text starts with a letter then it works fine.

The example is the tab "a3 Model" vs "4 Explore".

So maybe there is something in the RR item that could resolve this so you can use just a number.
