Why does this change?
 

I use the ibproarcade modification for arcade games. For each arcade game I have descriptions of the game. For some reason I get the following when I type a description for games that I add.

For example, I want this:
"Destroy groups of 2 or more bubbles to get points. You lose the game when there are no more bubbles to destroy."

But when I save it, it look like this:
"Destroy usergroup of 2 or more bubbles to get points. You lose the game when there are no more bubbles to destroy."

It appears that the work "groups" is getting replaced with "usergroup" some how.

I looked in my replacement variables option and I don't have anything set there that would affect this.

Any ideas guys?

vbSEO

vbSEO? Don't I have to have that installed?

Do you have any mod that does a string replace? Do a search through your plugins for that.

What exactly do I need to search for in the plugins Lynne?

Well, it sounds like some sort of "str_replace" is going on, so I'd search for that term. However, they could also use "str_ireplace", so maybe search for "replace". This is just if you have a plugin doing this. But, some developers put the code in a script and call the script in the plugin. So, you may have to extend your search to files also. So, maybe the best thing to do is to turn off all your plugins and see if that fixes the issue. Then turn them on one-by-one to see which one is the culprit.

uhhggg. Ok, thanks for the info Lynne. I'll get around to seeing if I can figure this out. If I can't figure it out, is there anyone here that would be able to help me? Thanks Lynne.

OK, I've done some probing around in the plug-ins. I've disabled plugins that I thought might be the problem but it still isn't working. For anyone who is willing to help I would really appreciate some assistance for getting this fixed. It's turning out to be quite the pain.

Just try disabling all your products/plugins (and not selectively). Add this to the end of your config.php:

i took at look at this and it is the actual mod doing the issue ..you can use the word group and the name will not change but if you have groups it will change to usergroups automatically. it happens in the description and one other place. So somewhere the mod is calling a variable by that name ...we tried other names and it showed up as normal text. I told him to contact the person that did the mod

also we disabled all plugins and the hook and it still same error. Also he didnt have an vbseo or any rewrite going on in htaccess

just wanted to report back incase someone else had same issue

he is running one version behind and updated to new one to see if that bug was fixed

mmoore5553 help me out a ton! Thanks again for helping me mmoore5553. I'll eventually post a response with this issue in the ibproarcade to see if someone there has run into this before.

no problem at least we got you in the right step.
