This is one of my must-have Joomla extensions. Thanks so much for this powerful stuff. With a little care, I can edit the core of my web. It's so easy. Like working with MS Word.

A must have extension that may save you hours. Simply amazing and very helpful!

This is so usefull you can't miss it! Thank you Peter!

I had a client make a mess of their content pasting directly from Word. UGH - I was able to find the few offending bits of syntax/css, paste it into the ajax form and click away my problems. AWESOME.



As the directions warn, this will make global changes to your DB so once committed there is no going back. With that, make a backup first.

Even being completely stupid on DB operations I was able to realize various search-and-replace operations with patterns site-wide!



Thank you so much!

The guys at NoNumber.nl are truly incredible! This is yet another example of their fine work. Not only does this component find and replace for you, but it has a really cool interface that takes any anxiety about making a change db-wide. 5 stars!

I was dreading dozens of hours of making a simple manual change in hundreds of articles on one of my sites when I found this extension. EXTREMELY simple to install and use. I sent a 10EU donation right away.

Like all NoNumber extensions, DB Replacer is amazing, powerful, and yet so simple to use.



With DB Replacer, you can search and replace material in your Joomla database. Since everything in Joomla is in a database, this means you can search and replace anything in your site.



For example, I had to change a block of text that appeared in 200 articles. In the past, I had to open one article at a time, cut and paste the text, fix any formatting, save the changes, then open the next one and start all over again...



With DB Replacer, I did a site-wide change in one operation.



It "holds your hand" through the process. First, select the database table with the material you want to replace. Then enter the "search" material and "replacement" material. As you go along, live preview helps you confirm what you're going to do.



Click submit. DB Replacer asks you to confirm the changes, then it's done.



Beyond article text, search and replace HTML lines, code, IDs, authors... anything in the database.



I can't say enough about the greatness of this and all other NoNumber extensions.

I just added some YouTube code to a 30 pages of a website, and then got a call from the client who decided he wanted a different video.



I scrambled to the Joomla Extensions site, hoping to find a true find and replace that would make changes in the mysql database.



And I found this GEM! Works really nice with a preview of what you are replacing.



I easily replaced one YouTube video ID with the new one. In seconds!



Of course you should backup your database first because we all know what surprises can happen when we do a find and replace. I use good old Akeeba Backup to to the backup first and then I ran DB Replacer.



This gem is an example of the great open source extensions that us end users need to thank talented developers, such as NoNumber -- the author of this valuable Joomla component.
