Hi,
I am making a form where users can add a website. the website url will also be the title and the permalink addition. However i wish to remove http:// or if exsists http://www. to make my post tiltle and permalink more clean.
How could i do such?

This isn't possible as a built in feature. You would have to use hooks and write custom code to do this. It is only possible as a customization using available API hooks to manipulate the form data. How comfortable are you with PHP and WordPress hook/filter usage?
To clarify. What you want to do is use the Post Title field and on submit you want to automatically strip out "http://" and/or "http://www." is that correct?
We may be able to write a code snippet for you that does this as it is fairly simple, but I would need to verify that this is indeed exactly what you want it to do.

What i do is, I let visitors enter a URL thru a form. e,g, http://www.domain.com.
Currently I take the info from the URL field and set it as title of a Post.
Create Post title template
Insert from Field
{Website:5}
In the body of the post i will reuse the URL for linking to the website.
But now the title and permalink will contain http://www. and httpwww.
So what i want to do is to strip out the http://www. (or only http:// if www is not used) so i can have a clean title and permalink, and I also want to reuse the clean domain link to automatically create a thumbnail of the website. This would also require the http://www. to be stripped out.
Ideally i would have another variable {Website-stripped} to re-use in the post body.
I hope it clarifies your question.
Haha, this one turned out to be a little trickier than I thought... but here is a solution for you.
Note: You can still use the {Website:5} token with the [strip=] to display the full URL.

Thanks so far... I think i am placing the code wrongly as i get this message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home1/laptopt1/public_html/domain/wp-content/themes/twentyten/functions.php:1) in /home1/laptopt1/public_html/domain/wp-includes/classes.php on line 1601
I should not include the PHP "quotes" at the beginning and end right? Because then i will get a parse error.
Hi Fonzzzie,
The top of your functions.php file should already have an opening PHP tag "<?php" and the the bottom you will find a closing PHP tag "?>". I would recommend pasting this code at the very bottom just before the closing PHP tag "?>". If the issue persists, post a screenshot of the placement of your code. :)

I have followed your steps again, and it seems to be working now! GREAT.
However, with each solution there is a new problem.
I want to insert "[strip={Website:5}]" into a shortcode,
[screenshot url="[strip=http://www.domain.com]"] but you can imagine that is not going to work.

OK Guys, I have been trying and testing but i can't seem to get it right.
[screenshot url="[strip=http://www.domain.com]"] doesnt work, so i need to get the stripped domain in another format. I have tried to set de default value of a hidden field to [strip={Website:5}] and then use the {hidden field} to get the data back into the string [screenshot url="{hidden field}"]. But or it doesnt work like that, or i am using the wrong settings. Please give me a hint on how i can do it. (As last resort i could use the title as it is the stripped url, but in future i want also other entries besides URL's so then i would be in trouble later.
Also the visitors can add an RSS url (optional) which displays the last 10 posts.
The RSS URL can be added if a checkbox is checked. (conditional)
I can get the last items on the website, no problem. But I also want to display the text "last 10 posts from [strip={Website:5}]": " But of course only if visitor enters a RSS url.
So adding the text to the template will not work as it will always display this text.
So can i e.g. put in some field (e.g. RSS) "last 10 itmes : [rssinpage rssfeed=''domain.com/rss"] " and put the shortcode {rss} in the template to display the data?
@fonzzzie You can't execute a shortcode within a schortcode like that. You would have to modify the [screenshot] shortcode so it incorporates the code of the [strip] shortcode and applies it to the url="" that is passed to it. So you have to merge those 2 shortcodes you are using so that the [screenshot] shortcode takes care of it for you.
We can't write that code for you, it's a customization so it's something you will have to piece together from what has already been provided or consider hiring a developer to take care of the customization for you.
