Please, I will like to make all content articles to be Sentence cases. That is: if any user creates a new article and enters the title as “new article of the day”…. When they save the article, I want the title to change to “New Article Of The Day”… Is this possible?

As far as I know, that is not possible – the structure is totally dependant on the input.
This is a core Joomla! problem though, so you might check forum.joomla.org to see if someone has found a workaround or “hack” to do something similar.

I found one that changes it to UPPERCASE. Let me dig in some more and see if i can find one that changes it to Sentence case

In this case open the /components/com_content/content.html.php file and look for the Title function. In my case this is 617th line. In this function you can see the following line twice:

Code:
<?php echo $row->title;?>

Change both of them to:

Code:
<?php echo(strtoupper($row->title));?>

I found another one. I dont know which one to choose now

Sorry to post again – this can be done much easier with CSS

text-transform:capitalize

or

text-transform:uppercase

Add it to the .contentheading section of your template_css.css

You should try to aviod changing the core files if possible!
