Enforce No Shouting For One Group

[Jake Bunce]

(in response to this thread)

First enable this option:

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Threads, Discussions and Conversations -> Automatically Adjust Case of Discussion Titles

Now we can edit the code to apply this restriction to a specific group only. Edit this file:

library/XenForo/DataWriter/Discussion.php

Add the red code. Change the blue part to specify the user_group_id that cannot shout:

	/**
	 * Verifies that the discussion title is valid
	 *
	 * @param string
	 *
	 * @return boolean
	 */
	public function _verifyTitle(&$title)
	{
		/* ONLY ENFORCE NO SHOUTING FOR ONE GROUP */
		$visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();
		$noShout = $visitor->isMemberOf(11, true);
		if (!$noShout)
		{
			return true;
		}
		/* ONLY ENFORCE NO SHOUTING FOR ONE GROUP */

		// TODO: send these to callbacks to allow hookability?

		switch ($this->getOption(self::OPTION_ADJUST_TITLE_CASE))
		{
			case 'ucfirst': // sentence case
				$title = utf8_ucfirst(utf8_strtolower($title));
				break;

			case 'ucwords': // title case
				$title = utf8_ucwords(utf8_strtolower($title));
				break;
		}

		return true;
	}

OUTSTANDING!!!! (that was an attempt at humor)

Thank you very much Jake

edit: that works great! I will slowly add people in that group as needed. That way the well behaved people will not have their titles changed.

Can I see a before and after effect of this please?

IF SOMEONE TYPES LIKE THIS OR COPY AND PASTES TEXT TYPED IN ALL CAPS - WILL IT AUTOMATICALLY LOWER CASE IT?

And keep the First letter Capital ?

Is this code compatible with 1.1.0 ?

Also - I would like this feature throughout the site, not just for a particular group.

It simply enforces this criteria for thread titles, or not, based on user group:
admincp -> options -> options -> Threads, Discussions and Conversations -> Automatically Adjust Case of Discussion Titles

What's the point of this mod? You can already do this within xenforo.... Only The First Title Letter Is Capital

99% of my members don't abuse the caps lock for titles, 1% do abuse it. So 99% of my members are exempt from the "Automatically Adjust Case of Discussion Titles".

Because we have several terms unique to us that needs to have 2 or 3 consecutive capital letters to make it look correct...
