Wordpress Question
 

on Wordpress say you have about 200 posts and you decide to use a trade script... is there anyway to edit the posts to use the script or do i need to fix the links one by one to include the "out" file/script

any input appreciated thanks

You can do a search/replace in the db. Make sure you make a backup first though...

the backup part is the most important part

one of my wp backup files is a 20 Mb text file :)

i'm not that good with mysql.. when you say search/replace what is it exactly i should look for

You can also build a wordpress plugin, that way it will take affect on any post.

i'd guess searching for "href=" would pretty much cover all the links right? so i can replace that for "href=xout?" for example.

mrkris how can i make a plugin that adds a code in the URL in each post

Start with a basic MySQL cheat sheet: http://www.pantz.org/database/mysql/mysqlcommands.shtml and it will start making sense.

Play around with a copy of your db until you understand what you're actually changing.

Take a look at codex.wordpress.org and look into the add_action() calls. You can do exactly what you want.

Far better idea than what I was recommending. :thumbsup

thanks for the replies
