Default Propercase Product ID
How do you get the product id to be capitol casing as it will only allow you to have lowercase leters and numbers as the ids?

I see the "Separate Sticky and Normal Threads" product is capitolized. How did they do that?

"Product ID: Separate"

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=117944

Does it have anything to do with capitolizing it in the xml file manually before installing?

Why do you want it in uppercase?

No major reason. Just think it looks more readable when you have a product id that contains multiple sylabels.

MyNewProduct vs. mynewproduct

Uppercase letters are actually illegal according to the vBulletin Manual.

Product IDs are what they say

Think of them as ID numbers with letters...most of the time they aren't meant to be readable. I thought there was a product name field anyway?

<font color="darkgreen">Yes, uppercase characters are illegal which is why I wonder how the mod I linked to in my first post got their product id to be accepted as propercase?</font>

If you change the product ID in the XML file and then import it, it won't give you an error. I'll report this in the bug tracker. Bug report: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=23311

I reported it a while ago - allthough I'm not sure it will reject capital letters still.

According to that bug report, it's fixed in 3.6.8, but I just tried it and it accepts capital letters.

<font color="darkgreen">Well I assume there is good reason for not allowing uppercase characters so I will use lower. Just seeing it in the Separate productid on 3.6.8 made me question it.</font>
