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)".

Does it work with Thread Titles ? TIA

This is a really great hack... if you want your entire board in lowercase that is.

I've had to uninstall...sorry it didn't work...turned all my capitals to small letters too!

If you get a fix...please let me know.

I do appreciate you taking the time to provide mod in the first place though.

PLEASE NOTE YOU MUST BE USING PHP5 FOR THIS FIX


FIXES THE DROPPING OF CAPS
Edit the plugin "word replacements"

Replace

PHP Code:

$ah_message = $this->post['message'];
$ah_text = strtolower($ah_message); 


with

PHP Code:

$ah_text = $this->post['message']; 


replace

PHP Code:

$ah_text = str_replace(strtolower($array1[$x]), $array2[$x], $ah_text); 


with

PHP Code:

$ah_text = str_ireplace($array1[$x], $array2[$x], $ah_text); 


I too had the problem of lowercase. Disabled, made the changes quoted above and it works like charm. No problems on 3.6.7 PL1

thanx its a great mod but its not working with the quick reply ..
does it work with v3.6.8 ?

Can you make it change words into hyperlinks?

For example you are an affiliate and you want to use affiliate URL when someone types in a word that matches your affiliate.

wouldn't it be better for the performance if you make it, when the post is send and parsed and not on post showing?!
if you show 40 posts per site, that means 40 times checking!

will this work with 3.6.8?

Doesn't for me. After applying the mods above I just get blank pages. Haven't had time to debug it yet.

Sorry, while this would be a great hack, I had to uninstall it as well because of the outstanding "issues". Great idea; hope you get it worked out.....
