User-Selectable Optional Language Replacement Censor

User-Selectable Optional Language Replacement Censor by 006

What this hack does:

This will give your users the option whether or not they want to have certain words censored or not. Also instead of the standard *** for censored words, this lets you substitute different words that will be used to replace words.

For example, if the user has language filter turned on, and the word "dog" is censored, and you have chosen to have the word "cat" be used as a replacement, then this user will see the word "cat" in every post where the word "dog" is used. If the user does not choose to enable censoring, they will see the word "dog."

(No use censoring that word lol, it's just for the example)

Benefits of this hack:

People will no longer try to cheat to get their words in by typing "[b][/b]" in the middle of certain censored words to fool the word filter. If they want to see all words, they choose to not use the censor and are happy. If they are offended by certain words, they can use the censor and be happy. Everybody wins. irate:

Any questions? Feel free to ask in this thread.

If you use this hack, please click "INSTALL." Thanks



Updated install file to .php so it doesn't parse replacements.

I think they are censored in forumdisplay.php and showthread.php

I looked in both of those earlier today with no luck.

[Koutaru]

i believe

$subject=censortext($subject);

in editpost, newthread, newreply
then again I may be wrong

[007]

Mine didn't have that... I'll look again tomorrow. It's late.

[Chris M]

Aha -

In newreply.php:

    $title=censortext($title);
    $message=censortext($message);

    // sort attachement

In newthread.php:

    $subject=censortext($subject);
    $message=censortext($message);

    // remove all caps subjects

In editpost.php:

  $title=censortext($title);
  $message=censortext($message);

  // remove all caps subjects

Convienient mod, thanks for this. May just use.

[Mike11212]

question does the word filter in the admin cp have to be enabled or disabled for this to work correctly?

[007]

Well I just updated the install file now.

Changed step 6. With the update, you DO (yes) need to have censoring enabled in admincp.

Thread titles will now be censored as well, but will be censored regardless of the users preferences. If anyone knows how to use the replacement system for the thread titles based on if the user has selected to use censoring or not please let me know.

Thanks.

If you don't see a different step 6 then clear your cache and then try downloading again.

[Chris M]

Quick Q:

Which step 6?

The first one, second one or third one?

Satan

[007]

Everything in step 6 is new.

The old step 6 was just disabling the censor option from admincp... but now you need it enabled, at least if you use the new step 6.
