Word Replacement

This is just a simple plug-in that will let you replace words in posts. This could be used for "AdWords" or Replacing curse words insted of just censoring.

Just thought I would share :-P

*cough* *cough*

I am a dumb novice, so this has no admin panel options or anything of that sort. If anyone ever wants to take this and make it all fancy, go ahead and just post.

Note: This should work on any 3.5 version that has the hook postbit_display_complete

This is the code...See how google is replaced with a link to google...make sence?

PHP Code:

$word = array(
'google',
'yahoo'
);

$link = array(
'<a href="http://google.com">google</a>',
'<a href="http://yahoo.com">yahoo</a>'
);


$this->post['message'] = str_replace($word, $link, $this->post['message']);

i know its a big bump but i wanted to point out to people, if you use spaces in your replacement words it shouldnt break the links

example

PHP Code:

$word = array(
' google ',
'yahoo'
);

$link = array(
' <a href="http://google.com">google</a> ',
'<a href="http://yahoo.com">yahoo</a>'
);


$this->post['message'] = str_replace($word, $link, $this->post['message']); 


notice in this example google links should be fine, but the yahoo ones probally will still break since they have no spaces

but be sure to include spaces in your replacement also, or it will end up like

let check outGOOGLEits cool

im not sure if you would use   for the space or just use a normal space, i havent tested
