As an administrator, I can use the Proxomitron to automatically modify (fix) a post. Ideally, I'd simply open the post for edit and save. More than likely, I'll have to read each post before saving it.
I think the risk is small but I can't guarantee no mistakes, however.
Opinions?
Instead of overwriting the old post, I could prefix or prepend the correction to the post.
Filters could look like
Code:
[Patterns]
Name = "prxbx.com replace %a0 with space"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)"
Bounds = "<textarea name="message"*</textarea>"
Limit = 25600
Match = "(\1[%a0][%a0]+$SET(replace=$GET(replace)\1 ))+{1,100}\1</textarea>"
Replace = "$GET(replace)\1\r\n\r\n\r\n"
""
"Edit by JJoe: %a0 to space. "
""
"</textarea>"
Name = "prxbx fix code post for admins (2012.08.27)"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)prxbx.com/forums/editpost.php?"
Bounds = "<textarea*</textarea>"
Limit = 32764
Match = "(\1\&(^(^#))$SET(a=$GET(a)\1\&))+\2</textarea>"
Replace = "$GET(a)\2$SET(a=)\r\n\r\n\r\n"
""
"Edit by JJoe: \&(^(^#)) to &"
""
"</textarea>"RE: Fixing posts - sbk - Nov. 02, 2012 12:08 PM

It needs an unencoded overwrite, IMO. The poster didn't originally post in mess-encoded, so leaving the encoded mess provides no intended value to proxo users. The encoded mess serves only as an example of forumware glitches.
But... (?) i don't understand how your pair of filters (code section i snipped) relates to either first or second (http://prxbx.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=285&pid=16803#pid16803) showthreads.

Filters like those will be used to 'fix' the thread and add a note that I fixed it.

Overwriting would be like
[attachment=793]
Corrected and prefixed would be like
[attachment=794]

Fixed the %a0 question mark characters.
Thought I fixed the html entities issue but I didn't (had to revert to a backup I made today just before I started tackling this). I'll need to refine my script and try again later (e.g. to leave deliberate html entities in CODE blocks intact, while decoding others).
RE: Fixing posts - Kye-U - Nov. 08, 2012 08:16 PM
Done!
Just ran my script and I believe I've gotten most of the html entities
(for safety, I limited the queries only to a limited range of post ids).If you come across a post that is garbled, please let me know! I've come across a few that I've fixed (where § and "smart quotes" appeared as �)
RE: Fixing posts - JJoe - Nov. 09, 2012 04:13 AM
Looks even better!
Feels better too. Thanks
Hang on to the backup just in case.
