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)".

Hmmm. I am having the same problem as some others posted. I put the target words in the first block and the replacement words in the second, with the | in between each word. I have censorship turned on. I post up and nothing has been replaced. I am on 3.6.7 PL1 and PHP 5 and MYSQL 5. Any suggestions.

I don't have 3.6.7 PL1 or those server environments to test this hack on.

Weird, this stopped working after I uninstalled v3 arcade, now it lowercases all posts but doesn't replace the words.

edit: I removed this mod and it fixed my posts being lowercased

LOL I'm actually using the test words you have. I've also tried a few 4 letter words that did not work.

Yes, of course. Bad words in the first area and good words in the second one; and words separated by a "|".
