Sorry for my bad english...

So it basically looks for a space, but doesn't really correct punctuation? (e.g. Its nice outside. --Which should be -- It's nice outside. It won't fix that correct?) BTW, might want to fix the word "befor" in the admincp.

This mod just exclamation mark, question mark and dot repair. If there are too much or missing space after or there is space before.

BTW, might want to fix the word "befor" in the admincp.

Thank you, repaired. :)

Anyone else here see the Irony? :P

This is why he needed that mod. His forum must have lots of problems like that.

Is it work after installing for old posts too, or just for new posts created after installing?
If uninstall this mod, what is happening with posts?
Any chance for big first letter after dot?
Any chance for exluded forums?

Thank you, these are important issues, but omitted from the description.

Is it work after installing for old posts too, or just for new posts created after installing?

Only the display changes. Therefore, the old posts will also change.

If uninstall this mod, what is happening with posts?

It returns to the state prior to installation. Does not modify the database, not risky to install.

Any chance for big first letter after dot?
Any chance for exluded forums?

In the near future I plan to.

How server intensive is this mod?

As I see, every time someone looks at post, it runs the same routine. As thread's page has many posts, for each page it runs multiple times. And so for each thread, for each user, guest also.

Could you maybe add plugin that will do this when post is posted and save corrected post in database, so it's run only once?

And of course, leave this plugin for people who wants to correct looks of old and new posts, without changing posts in database. Maybe you could even do what I suggest as separete mod, or combine both plugins in one mod?

Anyway, I must say that this is really great idea, many people on my forum don't know how to use punctuation, it's really horrible. But, here comes your mod. :up: And if you could make it that it changes post content on post creation, not just looks of it, as it is less server intensive, it would be really fantastic.

Great work, really, I'm impressed. :up:

In vB 4.2.0 PL1 gives the following PHP error when trying to view a thread or post:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /includes/class_postbit.php(345) : eval()'d code(267) : eval()'d code on line 3

Silly question, but will this also change the search functionality? For example, if I wanted to search for "......." (no idea why I would, just theoretically), would this find "bad" posts, but then display them "beautified"? Or would this not even find those posts, since they would already be "beautified"?

[Elenna]

For those that don't want the "bottom" left quote, edit the Plugin and change each instance of „ with “.

Looks like this one is abandoned ( another), seems to be good, but I need a couple of questions.

Does it use "American English" ?( I hate that phrase, it's a contradiction in itself)

Does it use American grammar ?

If so it's blooming use on an English board.:D
