Auto change all first letter word of topic to capital letter

[donjazzy]

Hello,
I saw this trick in another forum software. We all no that it is not appropriate to begin a topic with a small letter but because we do not have admin control over how members write contents, this is defeated. By this, how can I possibly make all beginning words of a TOPIC automatically becomes capital letter even though a user type in lower case. That is, it should automatically become capital letter once posted.
Example:

if you truely love jesus, you must keep all his commandments
When submitted should  then automatically appear as
If You Truely Love Jesus, You Must Keep All His Commandments
sorry for my poor communication. Thanks

Hi donjazzy, can you attach your Sources/Display.php please?

Unfortunately, it does not appear that the topic title (subject) gets its own class. If it did, you could simply add

Code Select Expand

text-transform: capitalize;
to the class CSS. The text is used in a number of places on a number of pages, and each would have to be updated to add a class.

It might be easier to write PHP code to do the capitalization during editing/saving of the topic. It could do a better job than CSS: capitalize first and last words, and all other words except noise words (the, a, an, and,...). No more e.e. cummings wannabes!

Ok I totally support you on this. I thought it isn't easy to tweak and therefore never bothered to mention it. Due to the nature of my forum, I will like all words capitalize except these noise words "an, and, a, the, from, in, to, of, between". I use smf 2.0.2. Thanks

no... this is not something that most sites would (or should) use....   so I don't think anyone has even looked at it further in 8 years

Actually, comes in pretty handy on movie/music sharing forums . Especially in the title of the topic .

Though, yeah, I wouldn't recommend using it, since it's probably not a good a idea to implement it globally. If it was on per board basis... maybe .

As I said, don't think it's a good idea to implement it globally... and there's probably a lot more work to do it on a per board basis.
