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 was actually thinking of doing it myself, but since Live Wire is going to port the 3.0 version, I won't.

I actualy used your had on vb3.0.7! I just needed something untille you updated yours. This was simple yo write and on our site we sell replacement words as advertisement...so I needed something quick. Once yours is releaced ill start using it again.

Thats why I have not worried about any admin cp stuff. Im to lazy to write all that since I knew you would port it :-P

I'm sorry to keep you waiting . have you deleted the database fields that my original hack creates? Cause if you didn't then when you upgrade my ported version, all your original data will still be available.

is there any way to make this work in the thread title also?
so if a user posted the word in the title it would also be replaced?
thanks in advanced, and great hack!

Basicly all this hack is is a weakend verision of replacement variables. I don't even see why this thread still exists.

You can set replacement variables in Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Replacement Variables Manager
