Configure Find and Replace in ICML content

Enable string replacements in XML and ICML content.

Introduction

Module name "find_replace.content-find-replace"

censhare can browse XML and ICML content structures and perform string substitutions. The server action is applicable to normal content or content in content structures (CiC).

1. A selection of a single asset or multiple assets can be searched at once.
2. After a successful search, the result window opens.
3. The search hits can be deselected separately by clicking the checkbox in front of the result.
4. If you are satisfied with the results, click "OK" to confirm the changes which are then saved into a new asset version.
5. Assets currently opened cannot be altered and are marked respectively.

The advantage is that assets to be changed do not have to be opened individually and a batch execution across multiple assets is possible.

Configuration

As an administrator,  install the necessary transformations "XSLT search-and-replace-search-placed contents.censhare-assets" and "XSLT search-and-replace-search-self.censhare-assets" by using the asset import server action. Both are located on the server in the directory:

"censhare-Server/install/assets/required/search and replace" 

Additional resource assets can be added with the resource usage "Search and replace content search" (key="censhare:search-and-replace-content-search"). So if users want to search for all content assets of a book asset, this can be provided by additional resource assets.

Setup: You only need to activate the checkbox in the top of the module.

Example

Search Mask: Access via the Server Actions menu. This specifies a search for regular expressions (only words).

Search results: Without the regex it can easily happen that not only words, but also sub-strings are replaced.

Search Results: Only with the use of regex in the search, the desired results are obtained.
