Censor List Replacing
 

My first product! This product will take a list of words and replace the first with the second in an easy to manage way.
This can be enabled and disabled and whilst disabled all words changed will reverse back to the original.
Also, whilst editing posts the original words will still be there as they are replaced at runtime.

This should be very simple to install just import the XML file and add words to your list via the admincp.

Howto add words to be replaced.
If you wanted to replace cat with dog and fish with spoon it would look like this:
cat,dog;fish,spoon

Enjoy guys and please mark as installed!

Updated
- You can now show users that can moderate the word that has been replaced.

Reserved.

Thanks,

Install with 3.6.7

Thnx !!!

Installed*

edit :

dont work 4 me...product installed, enabled and ur example words dont changed.cat was at in the post i made.

*uninstalled

thanxs verri much can we use this for the links is wel??

Do you mean can you use it to replace URLs? If so, I don't see why not but I will check on my dev server now :)

Is this working correctly for everyone?

Could you check if the plugin is enabled?

Too cool! I came here specifically to see if I could find something just like this and it was the first post here! :)

Installed and works. Seems to be a lag in the way it works though. When you post a message it shows the words you want changed, but a page refresh shows the words you want them changed to. Not a big deal though.

Update with an improved version.

Updates:
- Carriage return after a semi-colon will not affect results and semi-colon after the last entry does not make a difference.
e.g. Both of the following will work:
- People who it didn't work for - it should work now.

Glad I could help! This is my first mod so it won't be perfect.
I'll have a see on how I can improve that then!

Good job on your first mod. I have always wondered why this wasn't the way the word censor work anyway.

Thanks again. :)

You're welcome, thanks for the kind words :)

Thanks, if this will work on links, then that will be awesome! Thanks.

Just wondering tho, how heavy is this hack on the server? (on a very large and busy site)

Because it is a censor. To replace words with a different word with only default vBulletin, you should use Replacement variables.

I created this as a faster method than replacement variables (They take ages to put up multiple replacements).

Should be towards the bottom of the options list, "Censor Replacement List".

I will be installing this later tonight on my test forum...was just curious, is it possible to replace multiple words when used together? I'd like to use this for replacing racial slurs and such.

For example:

"porch" and "monkey" alone are two harmless words and do not need replaced, however, I would like to replace "porch monkey" with something that won't spark a huge fight.

Thanks! If this works out well, I think it'll be a very popular mod.

attempted install & failed to have it work... the original replacement variables still overrode my input.

Can you avoid url's to replacing?

Installed it on 3.6.3 - doesn't work.
Product and censoring is enabled.

Damn I need this mod.

Does this work only with "FULL" words. eg: will it check for spaces on each side of the word or will it replace partial parts? eg: if I enter cat,dog and someone types the word "catch", I don't want it changed to "dogch"

The reason I ask is that in my forum people use acronyms a lot when talking about other forum members (my name is alphadog and many people just say "AD" so I'd like this to auto-change to the full name). Just want to make sure it will change only full words with spaces before/after the string, and not start changing partial text inside words.

Tested on 3.6.8 - not working.

I have in my replacement list:

IGT,ItsGameTime;
AD,AlphaDog;
GDG;GoDogsGo;
WDF;WellandDogsFan;
IDA;IceDogArmy;

when I enter IGT, AD, etc... in a message - it appears just as I entered it.

I would be most thankful if someone can get this mod to work on 3.6.3 :(
But it seems it's not working on any vBulletin version... Help anyone?

it's working good :)

help x2

yes it will replace catch with dogch.

To both: Please try debugging by using the "show replacements to moderators" option.

I tried it now, doesn't seem to work :( Any other ideas?
I desperately need to get this great mod working. :erm:

Post your censor list please. And the contents a post you have used to test it.

thanks you!!!

Is this compatible with 3.7?

working for 3.7.3

Works in 3.7.1 PL2! Loads of fun!

Anyone know if this will work with 3.8.0?
Also, is it possible that the replacement can also be a link? For example, can I do this?:

I would like to know if it will censor "u" or "b" or "n" on their own or if they will screw up a number of words/HTML.

For example if I have u,you; b,be Will it change youtube to yoyoutyoubee???

It replaces letters, while ignoring spaces. This means that it would change 'youtube' to 'yoyoutyoubee'. Even if you would add spaces and define the replacement as ' u , you;'. It ignores the spaces. It does not ignore words that have replacements in them.

I tried it on my board and it completely screws up my board, because of this.

Yes I tested it myself and you are right. Disabled it for now. Doubt this feature will ever be available and it is kinda essential to my board. At the moment we are having to moderate manually :(

vb4 will have SEO functionality and James has requested to get suggestions for SEO, so I requested this functionality here:Global replacements

anyone can confirm this works with 3.8
