Re: change viewforum and viewtopic without html pages


Well, there are a lot of files that reference them, and I can't spend time hunting all the references down for you.

So I'll tell you how I'd do it.

1) I'd open up my favorite text editor (Editpad Lite ).

Using this text editor for this task can make a world of a difference due to a particular feature it has.

2) I'd open one forum file with the editor (any file).

3) From the editor, I'd select to open a file. It should start you off in the same folder as the file you opened in step 2.

4) I'd press Ctrl A to select all the files and open them all at once.

5) I'd repeat 3 and 4 for each phpbb folder until every single file is open.

6) I'd use the find/replace feature of this text editor with the "all open documents" feature, and it will scan through all the phpbb files at lightning speed.

7) I'd look at each instance of viewforum and viewtopic and change them if appropriate.

Thanks a lot !!!!!!
