Jack McDade’s URI Prettify

ExpressionEngine guru Jack McDade has posted an excellent URI Prettify plugin. He “wrote a plugin to take any string, such as {segment_3}, and strip out the “_” or “-” delimiters and set words to title case.” This is an extremely useful plugin which solves problems I’ve encountered numerous times in development. Jack explains:

I whipped up this little plugin because I kept getting pinned into a corner when using Categories. For example, if an entry is part of more than 1 category, Blue and Red as subgroups of a Colors parent group for instance, and you’d like to list all entries in the Red subcategory… well good luck.

Thanks to Mr. McDade for making this.
