Implement the "GoReplace" Plone product (http://plone.org/products/goreplace), or a similar product to allow global find and replace of text and HTML on an eduCommons site.
- Proposed by
- Marion Jensen, USU OCW
- Seconded by
- Terri Bays, ND OCW
- Proposal type
- Architecture
- Assigned to release
- State
- in-progress
Motivation
In several recent cases on both Utah State and Notre Dame OCW sites, it would have been useful to do a "find and replace" on the entire site for a certain word or bit of HTML. Implementing GoReplace would allow a find and replace change to be made globally instead of by hand (one by one).
Proposal
Implement the "GoReplace" Plone product (http://plone.org/products/goreplace), or a similar product to allow global find and replace of text and HTML on an eduCommons site.
Risks
It is unclear whether GoReplace can find and replace HTML.
This proposal is for implementing an existing plone product. If the ready-made product doesn't work, this feature will need to be renegotiated.

Not Plone 3 compatible
The RCs are RCs because I consider GoReplace not to be "ready for the
average user" but "ready for the thinking admin" - you can change huge
amounts of content with little effort - make backups!
It does not work with plone3 atm and i don't have the resources (time) to
'port' it at the moment - i would have to rewrite it as an adapter for the
Collections Interface and I need help to get started with that.
For Plone2x it should be fine, the .tar RCs are okay and ready to use.
Good to hear that more and more people find GoReplace usefull!
