De-dotify thread title

[Powlo]

Is it possible to automatically de-dotify a thread title? By this i mean if a member posts a title like... 'this.has.loads.of.dots.in.it.' then vb would remove the dots and replace with a space.

It was possible with phpbb using

PHP Code:

$post_subject = str_replace('.', ' ', $post_subject); 


but im unsure where and how to code it with vb.

You could probably achieve this using the plugin and hook location for thread complete

You would be able to spell that out for this noob would you? :erm:

Look at newthread.php, and especially at the hook: newthread_post_start.

Also see the manual: Plugin System.
