Mod that will replace certain word with another

[Sean S]

Hi there,

I remember seeing a mod for vB4 here before which allowed certain words to be replaced by another. For example, in the setting you could have

red;orange

and the mod would replace posts containing the word red with orange. I can't seem to find it here now, anyone can help or know the name of the mod?

thank you.

You can just use Replacement Variables. Or, write a plugin with a $find array and $replace array and just do a str_replace where you want it.

[Sean S]

thanks Lynne, that seems to be the easier option

[prophetmuhammad]

is this how you do this?

$find = array(
'word'
);

$replace = array(
'word1'
);

$this->post['message'] = str_replace($find, $replace, $this->post['message']);

[Lynne]

Yes, that is how you should do it.

i'm not really sure which one to use! can't find anything that refers to the post :\

right now it's set to the default that came with the script... postbit_display_complete

That code worked just fine for me using the postbit_display_complete hook location on my 4.1.8 test site.

ok i figured it out. turns out the script doesn't work for phrases i guess
