Regular Expressions are powerful tools to use in the building of a Joomla site. In this video, Peter van Westen of regularlabs.com gives us an excellent introduction to regular expressions. Keep watching after that for some great chat and hanging out with Peter and the others on the stream!
Vinny Hebert joins us in this edition of Watch Me Work Live Stream and shows us his first 5 favorite tips for using NotePadd++ when building and working on Joomla sites.
In this Watch Me Work Live Stream, I work on removing some 30,000+ spam comments placed by bots using through the comment form in Preachit Joomla extension. I then set up Google's RECAPTCHA on that site to prevent more spam messages.
I also use some crazy regular expressions in Regular Labs ReReplacer to add Google ads right in my articles based on how many /p paragraph closing tags there are as well as placing an author's footer at the end of each of his articles.
Interspersed in the video is some setting up of StreamLabs OBS, some reflections on perfectionism, and some twitch heads drop in to "chat" right at the end of the stream.
In this Watch Me Work Live Stream, I work with ReReplacer, DB Replacer, Content Templater, and Snippets - all extensions from Regular Labs. In fact, watch to find out which of those Peter van Westen calls a "stupid little sister." Along the way I also share an important life lesson I have learned and discuss why "everyone" should have 3 screen on their computer.
In this super casual Watch Me Work Live Stream, I open the surprise box from Regular Labs, do some more replacing and finding across multiple Joomla articles and ACYmailing Newsletters using tips from Peter van Westen on searching with regular expressions, look at Vinny Hebert's recommendation of using Notepad++, and start making plans for the bank robbery with Andy Badwool.
