Capitalize First Letter in Thread Title
 

The subject describes it rather well: this hack will automatically capitalize the first letter for all new thread titles. Simple, yet effective. Enjoy. :)

Thanks, TWTCommish. I was in a need for something like this, i'm glad to see you releasing it. Thanks again. :D

Great!:)

Satan

He is the Great Satan! ;)

Nice hack.

As opposed to the Pretty Good Satan? :D

Nice, this comes in handy! :)

Just sucks if you type in "vBulletin."

Hehe. Yep. For most boards, though, that sorta thing isn't an issue, thankfully. If you like your threads capitalized properly, you're definitely gonna spend more time editing them without this, than with it.

Is this the thread where we rewrite native php functions?

ucfirst ? Make a string's first character uppercase

ucwords -- Uppercase the first character of each word in a string

;)

I forgot about that function. I haven't used it in ages. It doesn't matter, though: the hack works in an almost identical fashion and is no harder/easier to install. :)

There's a bug in this hack.

If you try to create a thread called test with the contents of the word test and then you try and create a thread called Test and the contents of test it never creates the 2nd thread. big bug. Found it when I first tested it. I uninstalled it as well. :p

You can (at least on my board) create a thread with the exact same title as another thread, unless of course you have some sort of modification preventing this action.

I've got no idea what you're talking about. This hack is completely incapable of "blocking" the creation of any thread in any way.

there is better way to do it, using CSS, simple, effective...

Look at the comment I posted, and my Username, my name 1st letter capitilized.

Yes, as a matter of fact this is what I've been using on my personal site for ages, but I neveer thought of using it for thread titles ;)

Wondered how I forgot this one! ;)

Your link does not works. Can you fix it?

I don't see the CSS solution as being "better" at all. It's certainly no quicker than the hack, which is remarkably simple. What's more, using a server-side solution allows even the very few who do not support CSS to benefit from its effects.

TWTCommish - only NN 3 does not supports CSS, so we just will ignore them. Still, what is the CSS solution for that, Nano?

Right. Over 99% of all surfers DO support it...but a small handful don't, and the CSS solution doesn't save any time, programmer-wise or processor-wise, over the server-side solution. So why use it?

Because it's easier for the designer.
It saves years of hardcoding HTML.
Just a few lines of .CSS that can be used all over and ... when you think, it's time to change - nothing is more easier than that. Get the point? :o)
