Who needs a spell checker?

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in
waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht teh
frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses
and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed
ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Taht mkeas sesne. I wnoedr if tihs is hrad for a non-nvitae Egnilsh sepkaer to raed.

Wlel if you hvae no ccnocneise tehn you can put ltetres in any odrer you wnat. Or if you are jsut czray.

Hey Josh, did you get this from a post on my site? I had two people post about this over the weekend

Or was it one of those forward emails that had it?

It is knid of naet tohguh!

manes I can saerwe wthiuot the bepleer aciivnattig

Not sure if you would be able to read supercalifragelisticexpialidocious if those letters were rearranged

it was posted on my board.... through it was cool.

wow.. that post was posted on my site again for the 4th time in 2 days. Must be showing up in people's in-boxes or something, I never see so many reposts

Ended up on my site yesterday too... that's just funny.

Whoa! That's freakin' trippy! I read Josh' post just like it was all spelled correctly - no problems at all!

That's because that's how I usually type.

ya'll are typing like me now.

Here ya go:

Open upp addpost.php and find the following lines:

Code

<br />// -------------------------------------------<br />// If Markup is on the we format the markup code<br />   if ( ($Markup == "On") && ( ($convert == "markup") || ($convert == "both") ) ){<br />      $Body = $html -> do_markup($Body);<br />   }<br />

Add these lines ABOVE:

Code

<br />// -----------------------------------------------------<br />// Letter scrambler hack (requires PHP 4.3.0 or greater)<br />   //$scramble = get_input("scramble", "post");<br />   if ($scramble == "on") {<br />      $allwords = preg_split("/\b/", $Body);<br />      while (list($key, $val) = each($allwords)) {<br />         if (preg_match("/^(\w)(.+)(\w)$/", $val, $letters)) {<br />            $NewBody .= $letters[1] . str_shuffle($letters[2]) . $letters[3];<br />         } else {<br />            $NewBody .= $val;<br />         }<br />      }<br />      $Body = $NewBody;<br />   }<br /><br />// End of letter scrambler hack<br />

Now, in templates/default/newpost.tmpl find these lines:

Code

<br /><br /><br />$emailselect<br />

REPLACE them with these:

Code

<br /><br /><br />UBBTPRINT;<br />if ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") {<br />   echo '<input type="checkbox" name="scramble" /> Scramble letters in words?<br /><br />';<br />}<br />echo <<<UBBTPRINT<br />$emailselect<br />

That should be it, admins should now have a checkbox to allow them to automatically scramble new posts.

well......I dunno about scrambling the admin posts....they already seem scrambled enough to some of us!

Tony

(sorry...couldn't resist kidding you guys, Josh et al, who are amazingly helpful)

Well, maybe the scrambler makes the posts more sensible then? =]

The reason I only wanted admins to be able to use it is because otherwise every second post would be scrambled probably.

I also noticed that it didn't work quite as well in Swedish for some reason. Possibly because words are often joined making very long words.

LOL. That's a great idea Gardener! I'll have to give it a try!
