Replace Post Content in vBulletin

[bankcroft]

Hi there,

as I haven't found a solution to this on my own, here's my question:

How is it possible to automatically replace certain post content with other content?

I'm using vBulletin 4 and the included thread creation from RSS. Some special characters aren't imported the way they should be (for example: ' turns out to be displayed as ').

I'd like to create a replacement that whenever ' is posted, it get's replaced by '.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Kind regards,
Cornelius

As long as it is one replacement issue you could (I think) use the censorship feature of VB

If you do a search, you will find a word replacement modification and you could probably modify that to only work in certain forums (the ones where you have the RSS feeds posted).

I did a search and I found no modification for vBulletin 4.

The censorship feature would replace content with ****.
I want to define what content should be used for the replacement of a word.

hook location - postbit_display_complete

PHP Code:

$word = array( 
'WordA', 
'WordB'
); 

$link = array( 
'ReplaceA', 
'ReplaceB'
); 

 
$this->post['message'] = str_ireplace($word, $link, $this->post['message']); 


Modify to suite....
