Tried searching the forums but did not find anything relating to my question (sorry if I missed it)

Could someone tell me (if it is possible) how to take the segment_1 and make it uppercase?

calling for {segment_1} in my template displays about ; I would like it to show ABOUT, or even About

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums!  I’ve moved this to the CodeShare Corner.

How about using a CSS text transform? You can read about it on w3schools.com.

CSS will work or you can use PHP (process on output) in the template…

<?php
$str = "{segment_2}";
$str = strtoupper($str);
echo $str;
?>

Excellent! Worked perfectly.

You can actually parse PHP on input also if you need to since the segment variable will be parsed very early.

I found this while searching for the same. I’ve taken Lisa’s advice and used the css property in a span because I wanted the segment to appear in the middle of a sentence. This is a better solution if you don’t want to use PHP in your templates.
