Simple Request: Replace Underscores (_) with a space ' ' in thread titles

[Iain M]

I believe there will be a simple plugin to create for this, but i'm just not sure how

can someone please make this or tell me how to do it?

I know this should be able to be done using str_replace,

i've tried adding a plugin with

PHP Code:

$thread['title'] = str_replace("_", " ", $thread['title']); 


hook location forumdisplay_start, that didn't work

any help please?


thnx,
Iain

anyone... please

Change your plugin to use the hook "threadbit_display" and it should work.
You may want to consider modifying the title the user submits upon saving to database...

that didn't work either :\ i also tried

PHP Code:

$thread[title] = str_replace("_", " ", $thread[title]); 


(i.e. removing the ')


I'm quite a n00b with vBulletin coding so i'm not quite sure how i'd be able to go about "modifying the title the user submits upon saving to database"... but i'm sure i'd get it if you (or anyone else) were to point me in the direction

Always leave the quotes around title, otherwise if "title" is a defined constant, you will run into some problems...

Anyway, use this instead:

PHP Code:

$thread['title'] = str_replace('_', ' ', $thread['title']);
$thread['threadtitle'] = str_replace('_', ' ', $thread['threadtitle']);

$thread['threadtitle'] = str_replace('_', ' ', $thread['threadtitle']);

It works fine for me.

Where are you testing it from? That code will only alter it when viewing searches, forumdisplay, etc...

hmm...

i'll try again, i was testing it in forumdisplay...


EDIT:

it wasn't working becuase you had single qutes instead of double quotes, this is the code i use...

PHP Code:

$thread['title'] = str_replace("_", " ", $thread['title']);
$thread['threadtitle'] = str_replace("_", " ", $thread['threadtitle']); 


thank you SirAdrian

Single quotes don't matter. You messed something else up.
