Hi there,

is it possible to use the existing database instead of building an XML file for multiple replacements?

I do have a db-table called nwr_glossar containing three columns:

id
shortcut
meaning

the {shortcut} contains an abbreviation and the {meaning} the full-text explanation of the abbreviation. I already use this table to display a glossary on my website.

I would not like to use ReReplacer to replace each abbreviation in articles with <abbr title="{meaning}">{shortcut}</abbr>

How can this be done? How can I query my existing database?


// I am using ReReplacer v13.2.0 [PRO] on J! 4.3.4

What a pity. This should be added. I am sure also other users would appreciate it!
XML is nice but database is great 😉
