Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Replacement Words In Posts

A few members were asking for a better censor system when it came to replacing bad words with good words.

This hack will replace any word you specify even if the word in question is typed with random uppercase and lowercase letters.
It still can be circumvented but I guess that's why you have moderators.


Installing
Download the product XML. Go into to your ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Manage Products click "[Add/Import Product]". Browse to product-ah_word_replace.xml and click "Import".

Settings
ACP --> vBulletin Options --> Censorship Options
There should be two new options titled "Word Replacements (Find)" and "Word Replacements (Replace)".

Hi Guys,

Has there been a fix yet for the lowercase problem on boards?

Thanks

Doesn't work in 3.6.8

[sdsvtdriver]

I tried BallPnets changes and it doesn't work on my site.

3.6.8

[vigape]

I would use this mod to rewrite some words and make it url. Sample:
But when I put the bbcode replace, vbulletin shows the bbcode, not the url.

What can I do?

3.68 turned all of my text to lower case, otherwise it worked.

Looks like it needs an update to 3.6.8!!!

Had the same issue on my forum, more than half of the photobucket images showed "Image removed" message instead. All I had in the Find and Replace boxes was "therockgods" and "kittenwar", respectively. I'm running 3.6.9.

*Props goes to mah man Nate(nathanledet) for bringing this plugin to our attention.*

Things the modification fixes:
1)It does not lower case the entire message
2)It tries to uppercase the first letter of a word at the beginning of a sentence. Say for example you want to replace the uppercase word WIDGET with widget. If someone begins the sentence with this word, then it'll look awkward and incorrect when it gets lowercased. The code then corrects this by uppercasing the "w" and giving us a correct much better looking "Widget."

Find and replace the <phpcode> opening and closing tags with the following.

PHP Code:

<![CDATA[$array1 = explode("|", $vbulletin->options['ah_word_replace_find']);

$array2 = explode("|", $vbulletin->options['ah_word_replace_replace']);

$ah_text = $this->post['message'];

$breadcrumb = array();

if(count($array1) > 0) {

  for($j=0; $j<count($array1); $j++) {
    $breadcrumb[] = '/'.$array1[$j].'/i';
  }

  $ah_text = preg_replace($breadcrumb, $array2, $ah_text);

  $separators = array('. ', '? ', '! ');
  
  for($i=0; $i<count($separators); $i++) {

    $var = $separators[$i];
    $sentences = explode($var, $ah_text);
    $tmp_sentence = '';
    $k = 0;
    foreach($sentences as $single_sentence) {
    $tmp_sentence .= ucfirst($single_sentence);

     if ($k<count($sentences)-1) {
          $tmp_sentence .= $var;
        }
        $k++;
    }
    $ah_text = $tmp_sentence;
  }
}

$this->post['message'] = $ah_text;]]>
