Word Replacement / Censor

[zagman76]

I was poking around a friend of mine's phpBB board, and I saw that by default the word censor is actually a word replacement system. Is there anything available like this for vBull (v3.6.7)? I saw this one - but it seems a little too cumbersome, and not as user friendly as it could be.

I do use it - but there are some times when I don't want a global *** (or whatever) for the words.

Yes word replacement implimented in certian threads would be nice to have instead of the ****'s in it's place, as I don't want global censor either.

no, use the replacement variables...

Go to Style Manager, drop down to replacement vars.

Wouldn't this still be global though as I have a certain section I don't want to implement this on?

Hi,

I have the exact same problem here. Let me explain more about my issue.

I want to use the censorship as a kind of "forced spell check", so words that are commonly spelled wrong would be replaced by its correct version. On Invision Power Board (IPB) I used its censorship module to do that.

On vBulletin, however, the censorship module doesn't allow me to replace words with a configurable word, only to replace bad words with *.

Using replacement vars as suggested above is a pain, because we have four skins installed, so we would need to configure all words for our fours styles. Too much trouble.

I searched for spell check modules, but the problem is that (1) they are based on add-on software based on the English dictionary (our forums aren't in English); (2) the spell check function is used only if the user click on the Spell Check icon that the mod/hack installs. So there is no way to force the spell check to be used.

I want a mod/hack that would provide me a table where I could enter the word I want to replace and the new word. That's all.

Any suggestions? I am not a programmer myself so even though I have this need and idea, I don't know how to code this.

Thanks,
Gabriel.

Create a style, place your four styles under it, add vars to parent style

BINGO!

Well - on my board, some of the sub-forums are game/gag/joke forums. Sometimes we mess with the people using the [you] tag in those sub-forums.

I'd like to do something with a word-replacement gag, so that it does things like replace "the" with "teh" and other silly things like that.
