Preventing all caps in message?

Has this been done yet? I did a search for "caps" and this didn't turn up.

I have one member who has her caps lock permanently on, and it's annoying.

Is there some way to turn it off, from my end?

go to you vBulletin admin panel then into vBulletin Options you need to then click the [Thread display options] options link and turn Stop 'Shouting' in titles to Yes.

And if you want to do that for the whole message, add this code:

Code:

  if ($bbcode == strtoupper($bbcode)) {

    $bbcode = ucwords(strtolower($bbcode));

  }

In functions.php right after this:

Code:

    $dobbcode=$forum[allowbbcode];

  }

And to make only the first letter of a sentence uppercase you could change this:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if ($bbcode == strtoupper($bbcode)) {

    $bbcode = ucwords(strtolower($bbcode));

  }

to something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if ($bbcode == strtoupper($bbcode)) {

    $bbarr = explode ('.', $bbcode);

    $bbcode = "";

    foreach ($bbarr as $bbsentence) {

      $bbcode .= ucwords(strtolower($bbsentence));

    }

  }

Untested...

Nope, that won't work Sparkz. :) And it will also remove all the "." from it.

BTW you can use ucfirst() instead of ucwords() to get the first character capitalized (in the text, not the first in each sentence).

Thanks FireFly.

Now "ONE TWO THREE" looks like "One Two Three." I'd rather have it all lowercase... is that possible?

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbcode == strtoupper($bbcode)) {

    $bbarr = explode ('.', $bbcode);

    $bbcode = "";

    foreach ($bbarr as $bbsentence) {

      $bbcode .= ucfirst(strtolower(ltrim($bbsentence))) . ".";

    }

}

Try this. You'll lose all whitespace in the beginning of the sentences, ie "THIS IS CAPS. THIS IS CAPS" will become "This is caps.This is caps"

lol, I was obviously going to use ucfirst() in my first attempt, but forgot to change it (I copy'n'pasted your code. To lazy to write it out by hand :P )

Thanks Sparkz! I can deal with the lack of whitespace, but the code also adds an extra period at the end. Is there anything that can be done about that?

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:08 PM.
