PageBlaster Rules! Share your rules here!!

I modified title rule as it was not taking in consideration possible new line in the title and additional attributes in span element

search for:

(?s)<title>.*?</title>(.*?)<span\s+id="Title".*?>(.*?)</span>

replace with:

<title>$2</title>$1 

Darn it, I tried three times to preview and it shows code but when I save it removes everything. How do you post code here?

Put spaces after the less than character. ie:

<  p>

this would be a paragraph

<  /p>

Wrap it with < code>< /code> (without spaces in the tag)
It works better if you do it from the Quick Reply.

You can also just make sure there is a space after any <

Another way to make sure that it is not copied wrong if someone else wants to use it is to attach a file with a .txt extension that has your code.

Here we go, two rules for the title

At www.AgingSafey.com I have about 40 portals (such as comfortcare.agingsafely.com)  and most of them use PageBlaster rules for the Title and Description as well as xhtml cleanup and other functions.  I thought that I would try John's < code> .... < /code>  method of entering rules here just to test it.

I tried  different ways using < code> and Active Forum eat some of the rule each time - Yuk

The ways that I tried were:

1. Staying in the normal mode of the editor and putting the < code>< /code> then instering the Search For and Replace with rules inside. This producded a line line for each rule wich included < p> tags etc.
2. Switching to Source Mode when inserting the < code etc. When you get out of source mode the stuff you created is invisable. After you submit it it becomes visible but some <'s are missing!

Maybe John can explain how one should use the < code> elements in Active Forum.  It sure would be nice to see the rules inthe context of how they were used without having them in attached text files, which currently seems the only reliable way.
