DB Replacer

Introduction

DB Replacer - search and replace in your Joomla! database.

DB Replacer enables you to search and replace in any table in your database.

It even supports searching with case sensitivity.

Sometimes you need to replace something in all your articles. That takes hours doing it the conventional way: open article, change, save article, open next article, etc...

With DB Replacer this takes a few seconds.

DB Replacer gives you a preview of what is going to be replaced, so you know what you are doing before actually replacing anything.

WARNING: DB Replacer replaces stuff right in your database in the places you tell it too. This can - if you replace the wrong stuff - break your site. So be careful and only use this if you know what you are doing.

Powerful time saver

So you've just built out 50 pages of content and the client comes back with "can we move A to B and change C... on every page".

Sure.

Whilst you could write some complicated MySQL queries and do this in the database, being careful to escape all the necessary characters, it's much quicker and easier to use this component.

The ability to use WHERE clauses and regular expressions in the pro version lets you confine your searches to eg catid=10 and to find/replace items that vary from page to page (as long as they follow a predictable pattern)

I had an issue matching line endings and the developer came back within 24 hours with the solution (\s\s or \s+ in regex mode for anyone else having trouble with this)

A+++++ Simply one of the BEST extensions!

Does exactly what it says it does - and does it well.

The preview is super - makes this tool much better than direct mysql statements in phpmyadmin.

Arguably the best extension available

This thing is brilliant. I used it to convert left over Wordpress code from a migration to Joomla and the thing is amazing. It seriously saved me over 100 hours of manually editing each post. A must have for any developer/designer. Also the support is second to none. I asked a lot of questions and at no point did I not hear back or get a "sorry, that feature isn't available" that you usually get. 5 stars.

Brilliant Tool

Most of the extensions from NoNumber are indispensable, this one for sure...

I wanted to replace a complete tab content (VMD tabs) in about 1400 products with nothing, just delete a complete tab and all content. The syntax was slightly different in some cases but with a look at the forum and the use of some regular expressions I was able to do the job (costing days in a normal way) within one hour or so...

There are free versions (I'm a Pro User) of all NoNumber extensions available but one of these days I will buy a Lifetime Bundle for sure... It's wurth every penny and more, this guy is a genius...

Make a back-up before you use this extension, just in case!

Well done Peter!

After moving to another server I had a lot of broken links in my articles. All linked to one article that did not exist anymore. Fixing them one by one would have taken hours! With this tool I could fix them in a minute. I also decided to buy the PRO version! With that you can use WHERE statements. I used it to change the broken links only in ONE language.

The tool is really powerful and easy to use!

Unbelievable great free tool, time saving

No words to describe this awesome free extension, that saved my days and nights of replacing via the known Joomla method tons of keywords about related articles...

Easy to use and extremely powerful

We use this (free) extension frequently for our clients, as it easily replaces or updates data in the database. Very flexible and it does what it has to do.

Much more flexible than writing SQL code in phpmyadmin.

Peter really knows with his extensions what we webbuilders need! Thanx!
