Because you haven't took the time to understand the issue, the answer is no, you may not include it with any of your plugins.

What issue? Okay, then could you please convert the switch-it script you made into a plug-in that we can use? Thanks. Kind of like the one I made. Maybe add a feature so that replacements can be applied to specific boards or category's only, or placed in the "Main Footer" for "Main" pages.

If you want, I can send you an unlocked copy of my plug-in, so that you can improve it and re-post.

Thanks

Unfortunately no, as that's what the code is designed to do.

I suggest modifying them in the template, or asking for a code to do that specifically.

I think you need to re-read what has been said in this topic and your other one, because you are clearly not understanding what you have done at all.

Okay, I re-read this topic... What about it? I don't know what other topic you are talking about. Is is not that difficult, could you please select an option from this multiple choice list:

A. Allow flyoffacliff to repost the code in current condition.
B. Allow flyoffacliff to repost the code with certain changes made such as credit being added.
C. Do not allow flyoffacliff to re-post the code at all. Even though he already spent 5 hours on it, and Peter said he was going to do the same thing over the weekend.
D. None of the above / Other

I would prefer option A or B, but you have the legal right to select option C. I was really proud of myself for making it though. Since I have no programming skills. I can not simply "re-write" it.

That choice is yours.

now this thread is so funny simple really Peter Created it and you attempt to brand it to yourself in the FIRST PLACE if you ADDITIONALY placed "convered to plugin by flyoffcliff" in the first place he would probably be ok with it! do you not see why he gave u a D now? its very disrespectful to do it on a community based code. hey if everyone did it nobody would care to share plugins! or codes! back peddling and offering options to him was just like rubbing salt into a wound rofl.

To use it, call swap.it, the first parameter is what you are searching for, the second is what you will be replacing it with.  Note, this case insensitive.

Example:


<script>

swap.it("Posts", "Skittles");
swap.it("Reply", "Reply Now Dammit!!");

</script>

Can add as many as you want.

Any issues, just post.

so... I think I've read this is going to work with plain text... and, of course, this is great
but I'd like to know if it is somehow editable, allowing to have, as second parameter, a variable (i.e. post author's username which might be something like $[post.created_by]).
Might this be possible?
Hope I was able to explain what I'm asking
But, anyway, thanks for help !
