Need some help for a v5 code

[Texas]

Okay so the code is supposed to prevent certain users from editing there posts. (through use of greasemonky) I know that the main part of the code works but I can't figure out how to get the if statement correct or get it so that you block multiple users.

This is what I have so far.


<script>
if (proboards.data('user').id == 173855)

lnk=document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (i=0; i<lnk.length; i++) {
if (lnk.href.match(/edit/i)) {
lnk.style.display="none";
}
}
}
</script>

<script type ="text/javascript">
if (proboards.data('user').id == "173855"){

lnk=document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (i=0; i<lnk.length; i++) {
if (lnk.href.match(/edit/i)) {
lnk.style.display="none";
}
}
}
</script>

In theory that should work.

Tested and works, in footer:
<script type ="text/javascript">
if( proboards.data('user').id === "173855" ){
   $('.edit-button').hide();
}
</script>

Or of you want it in plugin JS / header you should do it on document load (jQuery).

Wait so if you pluged that into your v5 forum and put your user ID in for mine it actually worked? Cause I couldn't get the same results using greasemonky (must be something weird that greasemonkey does)

Do you know how I would be able to use a variable to get multiple users to be blocked at once?

[Xikeon]

Yes.

<script type ="text/javascript">
var users = ["1", "2"]
if( $.inArray( proboards.data('user').id, users ) > -1 ){
   $('.edit-button').hide();
}
</script>

Why is it "in users" and not "== users" ?

[Xikeon]

Because users is an array with the ID's of users you want to hide the edit button from. Then with the line:
if( proboards.data('user').id in users ) {
It's checking if the current logged in user's ID is found in the array. If so, then hide the link.

Edit: ignore this, fixed code is above.

$.inArray should be used, not "in users".

Ah man, I was tired when I wrote that. Wasn't thinking straight and for some reason got it mixed up with an object. Fixed in original post.

Okay so I'm trying to make it so the array can be edited using the user interface but I can't figure out where to put the this part: $[plugin.settings.users]

Right now I have it like this:

<script type ="text/javascript">
var users = $[plugin.settings.users]
if( $.inArray( proboards.data('user').id, users ) ){
$('.edit-button').hide();
}
</script>

But I know that's wrong. I somehow have to put it in the line in red but I'm not sure where.

[Xikeon]

Okay, so what you want to do is. Go to the user interface and make sure you choose for Forum Search. Then set the variable ID to users and make sure Search type is set to Members. Save that, go to components and add the following to the JS box.

I'm currently having issues with the Forum Search component, so I'm filing a bug for that. Once that's fixed I'll get back to you. (Bug thread: here)

Okay so the thing is back up.....so what were you going to tell me?

[Xikeon]

Yea, I noticed it was back up. Sorry for the late reply, haven't been home in meantime. Here's a working plugin, editable so you can do with it as you wish. Figured that would make more sense with the export feature now :-).
