Hello,
I have been styling the font color of my entries via the WYSIWYG editor for over 120 entries now.
But since nobody is ever happy without change, I decided to completely redesign my template and now with a light colored background, most of the entries' font color is too pale and barely readable.
Does anybody know if there might be a way to do a simple switch of every occurence of one hex color code into another, in a single edit operation, across the whole blog? (Via a plugin maybe or something...)
I know, this is probably too much to ask, so I'll have to manually edit each entry... Sigh...
Cheers,
Vince

Re: Doing a blog-wide modification to fonts
Hehe, that's the reason why putting font tags in the WYSIWYG editor is a bad idea in the beginning. You should've done that via CSS customization from the start on
Actually, replacing the stuff is not really a task that an existing plugin can do out of the box. I recommend this:
1. Use phpMyAdmin to create a DB dump of your serendipity_entries and serendipity_entryproperties tables. Check the "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" checkbox when exporting. Make sure you export DATA *AND* STRUCTURE.
2. Use a text editor to replace all <font> tags in your DB dump file. Or even better, remove all <font> tags.
3. Upload the DB dump file again - this will overwrite your existing table and use all the new entrys with replaced <font> tags.
Of course this is a possibly dangerous operation, so if you're a bit paranoid, you might better want to edit each entry.
If you remove the font tags, go ahead and edit your templates' style.css file. Locate a div.serendipity_entry field and just insert
(or any other coler) inside that style, and you never need font tags again.

Hello Garvin,
Thank you, once again, for your invaluable help. Yours was an impeccable answer to my question; I followed your instructions to create a dump with phpMyAdmin, I corrected the file and uploaded the result. Done!
And yes, I realize that using font tags was a pretty dumb idea to begin with, so from now on I will go with CSS...
Thanks again!
