Replacement Words In Posts
 

A few members were asking for a better censor system when it came to replacing bad words with good words.

This hack will replace any word you specify even if the word in question is typed with random uppercase and lowercase letters.
It still can be circumvented but I guess that's why you have moderators.


Installing
Download the product XML. Go into to your ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Manage Products click "[Add/Import Product]". Browse to product-ah_word_replace.xml and click "Import".

Settings
ACP --> vBulletin Options --> Censorship Options
There should be two new options titled "Word Replacements (Find)" and "Word Replacements (Replace)".

what about replacement variables?

I'll explain how it works.
Let's say you had these words for "Word Replacements (Find)".
suck|bad|whatsup

Now for "Word Replacements (Replace)"
stink|good|hello
================================================== ===

This message "whatsup you suck bad"
Will now be "hello you stink good".

Replacement variables replace a word no matter where it is. This hack only replaces words in the posts.

This is working or not? It seems you are asking how tog et it to work, not releasing.. so im confused.

It's working. I just need help wording the descriptions in the vBulletin Options.

<i>I think it looks fine as it is...it's pretty self-explanatory, IMO.</i>

Thanks harmor19

*******Clicks Installed******

Will there be one to not sensor globally? Like specify where this can and can't work later?

Arr cooool ^^ so i can change the swear word 'fu**' to 'beep' so if they type this: get fu**ed it will say: get beeped

Is that correct. and i can make as many as i like?

That means this also has seo benefits ^^

If someone types in slang or abbreviations, then this will be able to expand that to full, and will benefit your site ^^

Great work.

Thanks a lot, harmor :)

But, i have vb 3.6.5 and your hack doesn't work :(

When i put the bad words in a post, the good words don"t replace the bad words. And in vbulletin options, i've separated words by "|", as you say.

Any idea ?

Did you rebuild your post cache?

You should make it one big text box and like this, seperate different entries by new line

Badword|Good word!
replace me|with me!

etc..

Can I replace words case sensitive?

For example

hello|bye
Hello|Bye

Thanks

Wow, I lost all hope of this ever being available - thanks!

If I'm using the censorship-per-forum hack, will this only change the words in the forums that are censored?

Are you putting the bad words in the first text area and the good words in the bottom textarea?



Yes.

I'd imagine it would.

I wanted to use badword => goodword but I don't know what code to write to produce [badword] => goodword

Ok - I'll let you know if it did when I install it, which will be later tonight. :)

Ask in the coding section on these forums ^^

I'll keep trying to solve it on my own first. If I can't by this weekend I'll ask for help.

Im having a problem, all capital letters are turn into lowercase. :S

I'm sorry about that. If I remove the code then you'll have to write every possible combination of the bad word. eg. bad|Bad|bAd|baD|BAd|

I'll see what I can do.

Off topic but thanks for the direction to this as I wanted that. :D

I have a 12 letter word :P kinda dificult to do that lol

I'll wait for a next release, if it happens.

Really good mod ;) Just needs a little bugfix

What is the bug for the 12 letter words?

The only bug so far is that it converts any uppercase letter to lowercase.

When does it decide to replace the words? Cause I've tried and tried but the words stay the same

It should replace them automatically. What are the words you're using?

This sounds like a fun mod to use :)

edit: lol this mod is awesome, Im gonna have some good laughs with this

Dude, this is awesome!! Thanks for this hack!

Hmmm. I am having the same problem as some others posted. I put the target words in the first block and the replacement words in the second, with the | in between each word. I have censorship turned on. I post up and nothing has been replaced. I am on 3.6.7 PL1 and PHP 5 and MYSQL 5. Any suggestions.

I don't have 3.6.7 PL1 or those server environments to test this hack on.

Weird, this stopped working after I uninstalled v3 arcade, now it lowercases all posts but doesn't replace the words.

edit: I removed this mod and it fixed my posts being lowercased

LOL I'm actually using the test words you have. I've also tried a few 4 letter words that did not work.

Had to remove this .. all my forum posts were altered to lower case.
Running 3.6.7

Thank you very much! This is awesome! :D

Yes, of course. Bad words in the first area and good words in the second one; and words separated by a "|".

I'm going to try to resolve this problem :p

looks like a great mod. i'll come back too it once it has been developed a little further.

Regards,

Joel

I had to uninstall it was not doing anything noticeable. Will keep track for further updates and resolutions.
