it means uppercase.
Uppercase Example -> A (capital)
Lowercase Example -> a (not capital)

I'm not that great at php and I already had the javascript code. I just finished a similar mod for topic titles

Handyman wrote:Hey Midnight, please edit your post to have a poll to make a standard mod release template.

Also a couple things you would want to change, in the install file, it's not a good idea to try and find a block of code this large
Spoiler:
Code: Select all
<!-- IF ._file -->



   /**

   * Play quicktime file by determining it's width/height

   * from the displayed rectangle area

   *

   * Only defined if there is a file block present.

   */

   function play_qt_file(obj)

   {

      var rectangle = obj.GetRectangle();



      if (rectangle)

      {

         rectangle = rectangle.split(',')

         var x1 = parseInt(rectangle[0]);

         var x2 = parseInt(rectangle[2]);

         var y1 = parseInt(rectangle[1]);

         var y2 = parseInt(rectangle[3]);



         var width = (x1 < 0) ? (x1 * -1) + x2 : x2 - x1;

         var height = (y1 < 0) ? (y1 * -1) + y2 : y2 - y1;

      }

      else

      {

         var width = 200;

         var height = 0;

      }



      obj.width = width;

      obj.height = height + 16;



      obj.SetControllerVisible(true);



      obj.Play();

   }

<!-- ENDIF -->



//-->

</script>



it would be better to find something like this
Spoiler:
Code: Select all
obj.Play();

   }

<!-- ENDIF -->



//-->

</script>

that way you have a much greater probability of actually finding it if mods have been added or line endings are different (which usually happens if you create your mod using a Windows Text Editor and somebody opens it on a Linux or Unix Machine? the line endings are usually different unless you made sure to set them to unix line endings)

Also, when posting how to edit multiple templates, instead of:
/styles/xxxx/template/overall_header.html
use
/styles/*/template/overall_header.html

the xxxx will be recognized as a style when easymod comes out, whereas the * is considered a wildcard and will install it for all styles.

and another thing, why did you decide to do this using javascript?
it would be much easier to accomplish using php? then you would only have 1 edit and you wouldn't have to edit every template.
Also, browsers have the ability to turn off javascript, so their username could end up in lowercase? so that defeats the purpose.

Here is how to do it using php
Spoiler:
OPEN
includes/ecp/ecp_register.php

FIND
Code: Select all
'username'            => request_var('username', '', true),


REPLACE WITH
Code: Select all
'username'            => ucwords(request_var('username', '', true)),

This method does exactly what your javascript does and it will change
"highway of life" to "Highway Of Life",

though somebody could still come along and create a usename like this "HIGHWAY OF LIFE", if you want only uppercase on the first characters all the time, you would use this instead
Spoiler:
OPEN
includes/ecp/ecp_register.php

FIND
Code: Select all
'username'            => request_var('username', '', true),


REPLACE WITH
Code: Select all
'username'            => ucwords(strtolower(request_var('username', '', true))),


that will change "highway of life" to "Highway Of Life"
and also 'HIghWay OF LifE" to Highway Of Life"

so just a couple options to consider :)

Hi Anne,

I believe that you can use this mod with Prosilver. Just place the overallheader code within the <head> and </head> tags and you should be ok. The user_register.html file should be pretty much the same as subsilver2. Just make sure you do a back-up of your files before you do this.
