This is one of the easiest and simplest ways to improve literacy and professionalism.

This hack automatically capitalizes the first letter of each word in the thread title when you submit a new thread.

This mod will not capitalize small words such as
of a the and an or nor but is if then else when at from by on for in to into with

Example: "this is a test thread" will become "This is a Test Thread"


This is a very simple plug-in.

Installation Instructions:

1) Go to Admin CP
2) Go down to "Plugins & Products" and select "Download / Upload Plugins"
3) Scroll to the very button, hit browse and and hit import!

may I ask WHY would anyone want to capitalize every letter of each word?

So it makes your forum look more professional.

Some people might argue that, but its one of my pet-peeves.

Is there any way to make this recursively edit existing titles?

Yeah, you would have to edit it and cycle through all the thread titles in the 'thread' table in the database.


If other's would like it to, I'll put some time into it tomorrow and add that feature.

Is there a way (or can someone point me to a similar mod) to only capitalize the first word in the thread title?

i've got this installed on my board, but users continue creating threads capitalized :S (if words are all caps)

Although I haven't tried it, I suspect that could be "solved" by adding at the start of the plugin,$vbulletin->GPC['subject'] = strtolower$vbulletin->GPC['subject'];But that in turn creates issues by changing acronyms to lower case (HTML would become Html; AOL would become Aol). It would also potentially conflict with the "small words" feature, such that a small word at the start of a sentence would be uncapitalized.

I think a nice addition to this would be to include a list of common acronyms that will automatically be capitalized (as above - for example, so "aol" becomes "AOL" instead of "Aol".) I suspect that's an easy change to make, but my programming skills are woeful.

Hi all

I know this is a really old topic, but is there any way it could be upgraded to work with VB-4.8 or higher.

Fingers crossed & thanks for reading.

Hello dear ZomgStuff,
I have some cases i want it to be excluded in my forum for example i have some words starts with small letter and then it will be followed with numbers or symbols like this:
x123
v.123

with your mod they are becoming
X123
V.123

how to exclude such case?

Thank you :)
