user field help

[DivineMessenger]

I want to create a user fields where users can input their gamertag and their clan tag then build a block that will insert the fields into this image:

Simple right? I agree. Problem is with spaces. I need to automatically replace spaces in the users' gamertag and replace them with "%20". Any ideas?

str_replace?

[DivineMessenger]

how does that work? I don't want to change the way the user field appears in their profile

/{userfield1}.png

but convert all spaces in userfield1 to %20

[Lynne]

User str_replace to replace spaces with %20. Isn't that what you were asking about doing?

[DivineMessenger]

Yeah but on the user's profile I where it says "Gamertag" I still want the spaces to show. That's the problem. Otherwise I would just advise users to put %20 where there are spaces.

How about doing the replacement when the fields get inserted into the image url?

[DivineMessenger]

I guess the question is, how do I change it when it gets inserted into the url without changing the original field?

[Lynne]

You would write a plugin that takes the field, uses str_replace to replace the spaces and then assigns it to a new variable name that you use for the image.
