Some Questions on ProBoards Coding

[o.O]

I know JavaScript ok, but I want to learn more about ProBoards coding.

How do you edit the admin panel? Is it possible, how do you show certin new objects only to certin members (Header/Footer power ones)?

How do you edit certin varibles in a JavaScript code, without the headers and footers showing?

Does anyone have a code that has the above, that I may look at and mess around with it in order to learn more, and use your coding style, or a coding style similer to yours? (I can always place a notice where the basic outline came from in the code header)

1. The way I do this is by looking for the div containing the Header/Footer link then adding to this div:

var div=document.getElementsByTagName('div');
for(d=0;d<div.length;d++){
if(div[d].innerHTML.match(/Headers and Footers/i) && div[d].parentNode.innerHTML.match(/Customize Your Forum/))
{
div[d].innerHTML+='<br/><a href="index.cgi?action=headersfooters2&id=-&someformofID">Text</a>';
}}


2. For this, I would create a function which replaces certain text in the Header or Footer.

function saveInfo()
{
document.forms[0].footer.value = document.forms[0].footer.value.replace('var variable='+aVariable, 'var variable='+document.myForm.myInput.value);
}
document.write('<input type="submit" value="Save Changes" onclick="saveInfo(); this.disabled=true;">');

And I'm affraid I don't have a finished Admin panel hack to show you at the moment. I've only got two half finished ones

Replacing text in the headers/footers is pretty advanced, you better know your RegExp.

I know some RegExp from ZT's tutorials, and dmsuperman. Also, I have an O'Reilly book.
