Search and Replace Across a Joomla Site |
|
Sometimes you have text, an image or even code that appears on many places throughout your Joomla site. Normally, updating is a slow process:
- Open page
- Make change
- Close page
- Repeat ad infinitum
Wouldn't it be nice if you could search and replace just as you do with a Microsoft Word document. You can! Here's how to do it:
- Step 1: Click here and download an extension called ReReplacer.
- Step 2: In the administration area of your Joomla site, go to Extensions >> Install / Uninstall and upload the file.
- Step 3: Go to Components >> ReReplacer and click "New" in the top right hand corner.
- Step 4: Enter your existing text, image or code in the filed labelled "Search"
- Step 5: Enter your new text, image or code in the filed labelled "Replace"
- Step 6: Click Save and repeat as often as you need!

It searches and replaces whatever you need in the database, ie. not on the fly. Worked great for me.
"ReReplacer will search the text (html) of your pages for your search request and replace it with what you have told it to do.
These replacements are on the fly. That means they are not permanent. They are done every time you request a web page in your site."
This means that the replace is happening on every single page load adding extra queries and time to every page request.
