Hi,

I want to change the first character to uppercase in post. It use ucfirst().

Can someone give me the code to add ucfirst()?

you really just want to piss off your users by "correcting" everything, don't you?

Didn't we talk you out of this silliness months ago?

In your index.css, add this to the "body"

Code Select Expand

text-transform:capitalize;

Should be something like

Code Select Expand

body {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #131313;
    font: 78%/130% verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-transform:capitalize;
}

Really not sure why you would want to though?

Changing The First Letter Of A Word In A Sentence To A Capital Really Is A Way To Piss Me Off. No seriously, for me it goes hand-in-hand with chatspeak.

The OP is asking for a way to capitalise the first word in a sentence, like:

this sentence is not capitalised

to

This sentence is not capitalised

right... because he apparently can't leave his users to post what they want

PokémonS,

  You can design your forum any way you wish although altering your users posts may not be prudent.

Edit file: /Sources/Post.php

Find:

Code Select Expand


// Prepare the message a bit for some additional testing.
$_POST['message'] = $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($_POST['message'], ENT_QUOTES);



Replace with:

Code Select Expand


// Prepare the message a bit for some additional testing.
$_POST['message'] = $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars'](sentence_cap($_POST['message']), ENT_QUOTES);


Find at the very end of the file:

Code Select Expand


?>


Add prior to the above:

Code Select Expand


function sentence_cap($sentences)
{
$punctuation = array('. ','! ','? ');
$sentences = preg_replace('!\s+!', ' ', $sentences);
foreach ($punctuation as $mark)
{
$text = explode($mark, $sentences);
$newtext = array();
foreach ($text as $sentence)
$newtext[] = ucfirst($sentence);

$sentences = implode($mark, $newtext);
}

return $sentences;
}


.. this will capitalize every sentence.
