ReReplacer


ReReplacer is a Joomla! component and system plugin that enables you to replace anything in your Joomla! site’s output with whatever you want.
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 gives you great possibilities and power to manipulate the output of your site.
REGULAR EXPRESSIONS
You have the ability to use powerful regular expressions to search and replace. This opens up endless possibilities. You can do virtually anything with ReReplacer.
WHY USE REREPLACER?
You can use ReReplacer for all kinds of stuff like:
✓ Add/remove/change elements in the html structure of your site
This can help you add extra ways to style elements or change the layout.
✓ Create your own plugin-like tags
You can use quick-codes and replace it with a long bit of text or html code. Like:
{copyright}, !contact_details!, [terms], __FOOTER__, etc.
Via regular expressions you can even make these dynamic, like:
{youtube 123abcABC}, {twitter}nonumber_nl{/twitter}, etc.
✓ Clean up unwanted html
Like: comment tags, meta-generator tag, unwanted copyright code from other extensions, etc.
✓ Replace simple words
Like: replacing the company name (for mirror sites), correct common spelling errors in your content, replace bad words with ***, etc.
✓ Replace "Domready" with "load" for IE compatibility of your scripts
✓ Replace your image (media) urls with a CDN url.
WHAT REREPLACER IS NOT!
ReReplacer does not touch your database. The replacements are not permanent. So you cannot use ReReplacer to replace stuff for good. You can use my other extension DB Replacer for that.
It also does not touch the files. You cannot use ReReplacer to replace stuff in the (php) files of your site.

ReReplacer is for me a perfect design tool that was still missing in my collection.
ReReplacer Benefits:
- Very intuitive interface. I didn't spend any time reading manuals
- Runs perfectly. No time spent debugging goofy PHP errors
- Best support I've ever had (including commercial extensions). I had a feature suggestion and NoNumber! included it in the product the next day!
NoNumber! is a major contributor to Joomla. I highly recommend his extensions.
Thanks for posting your feature request via my forum. I am glad you find it all intuitive. Creating a manual is somewhere on my todo list, but haven't got the time. You just gave me an excuse to push it further down the list ;)
Easy to install and use ,
Really great support. I am using rereplacer from few months. I do not have any problem with the rereplacer.
Thanks, Sai. You know the sky already starts just above the ground. So 'the sky as the limit' is not very high! :P
I have installed the component/plugin with ease. It was so simple and is a wonderful tool, which I like a lot. Just replacing a word or a phrase and not having to worry about editing files is very easy and time saving.
Thanks for your fast response in the forum.

Wait till you start experimenting with manipulating whole html structures... you can change the output of (3rd party) extensions to your likings and not touch a single file.
I was ready to pay even $150 for such a component. I've been looking for something like this for a long time.
It can be used in many different ways as outlined. However one less promoted feature is the one which really rocks: it can be used as "Autolinker". However all the autolinker components can be used for articles only. But this great component can reach literally everywhere: Kunena Forum, JomComment, MyBlog.
Let's say you want to give a definition of concept in another page, without having to leave the article. You create a page for the definition of the term, and give a one time link to this page. So every occurrence of this term is automatically linked to its definition in a small cool thickbox pop-up. All you have to do is load mootools/modal library in template index and in the replace field give the link accordingly for modal pop-up.
It's just incredible. Our site is small, I hope it can have the same performance as it grows.
Thank you very much for such a great component.
I am not stopping you from paying me $150 :)
And it gives me any easy way to change the way the Joomla Output is ordered. I use it for putting some special links from the content into a navigation area. Thank you very much for this perfect work!
Wishing to have a guide/ tutorial soon .

All options have mousover tooltip explaining what it is for.
But yeah, you are right, a manual/tutorial would be good. I wish there were 10 days in the week :S
Response to questions is unbelievably fast, and the developer made adjustments to my site and to the component within hours.
Have a go!!!
Thanks so much for a great product.
This is excellent tool to manage SEO and PR for professionals.
I considered doing a seach and replace via the exported mysql file. But I didn't want to take that drastic step. I remembered seeing this plugin and downloaded it. Installed it in 2 minutes and 5 minutes later the global change was finished.
Now I can goof off the rest of the day!
Thanks, ReReplacer and all of the incredible Joomla Open Source developers for giving us great tools like this gem!
