Replace censored text with an image

Replace censored text with an image

What does this hack do?

Instead of replacing censored text with a character (like censor with ******), it will instead replace the text with one user-defineable image instead.

How do I install this?

Simply read the instructions in the attached file.


Notes

This hack will...

• only work for forums where either HTML code and/or image BB code is enabled
• not censor properly in thread topics

If there is enough demand for the above features to be included, then I will include them.

Any working URL site?

If you are wondering if this works or not, it does. Just try it out; the installation is very short and simple.

Installed and working at http://rockpop.goldenpie.com/forums for those wanting an example

Brilliant hack, Gary! Well done!!

Here's an Image that I'll use for this one, just in case someone want it.

When I try accessing it.

Great hack so far, but I did find something I was hoping you can fix. What ever words are in the brackets {censoredword} in the admin cp don't get replaced by the image file. How would I fix that?

That is not a default replacement is it?

[Silverstangs]

no the words that are seperated by spaces are the default replacement, the ones in brackets are more specific to certain way a word is used. for example the word assemble would have the first three assemble charactors censored out. but if you put those three assemble charators in brackets on the censor list, it will only take the first three charactors out if they appear alone.

Is this a hack you are using for vBulletin 2? Or is this vBulletin 3?

[Roxie]

I'm confused. Can't you just use the word for the smilies..?
For instance if I want to censor the word H-e-l-l, I could name the censored smilie h e l l and then when someone types it, they get the image?

[Gary King]

If you want to, sure then go ahead
