Javascript codes for certain groups only

[Auburn]

What does a basic javascript code look like that will only apply to guests? Or, what if only to admins or other specific member groups?

The only one I'm familiar with is:

<script type="text/javascript">
if(pb_username!='Guest')
{
Code Here
}
</script>

Which makes the code visible only to members.
What would the codes look like for other member groups?

Any insight on javascript [not just pertaining to this] would be awesome.

I don't think ProBoards currently supports a JavaScript version of a user's usergroup. I know you can find it via links to a user's profile, because it will be marked with CSS .group1, .group2, etc. But there is no JavaScript variable (such as pb_username, e.g. pb_groups) that tells.

Unless you use this:


<script type="text/javascript">
if(pb_username == "admin|staffer|staffer")
{
Code Here
}
</script>

[Charles Stover]

Close.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (pb_username.match("/^(admin|user1|user2|user3)$/"))
{
//Code Here
}
</script>

But you'd have to add each person manually.

charles - Quotes aren't required - you're thinking PHP

[Charles Stover]

Indeed I am. I use RegEx in PHP much more often than in JS.

if (pb_username.match(/^(admin|user1|user2|user3)$/))

I wouldn't think you would need RegExp.. if(pb_username.match(/admin|user|user/i); should work..

What you just posted is a regular expression.

You need the ^ because someone with the usernames xadmin, xxadmin, xxxadmin would match admin, and the $ because someone with the usernames admi, adm, ad, and a would also match admin.

[Bennett 🚀]

Oh, lol. the /i does that?

[Jordan]

No, the ^ and $ do that. The ^ says this is the beginning of the expression and the $ says this is the end of the expression.

The i tells the match() function that this search is case-insensitive so the letters could be AdMIn and the function would still find a match.

Anything in /slashes/ is RegEx. >_>

in-case sensitive

case-insensitive*

Haha, can't believe I said that.

What you just posted is a regular expression.

You need the ^ because someone with the usernames dmin, min, in, and n would match admin, and the $ because someone with the usernames admi, adm, ad, and a would also match admin.

Since we're all ragging on you, that's not necessarily the case. What you said would be if pb_username = "dmin", then that expression would be true. That's not true unfortunately. "dmin" does not match "admin" (or "user"). However, pb_username = "dadmin" or pb_username = "deadmin" would match "admin" which would then be true

I just wanted to point this out to avoid confusing other people. We all know that you know what you meant Jordan... 'cause remember, it's the code you write that counts, not how you explain it.



Edit: Oh, and I wrote this snippet a while back to try and aid with the issue of not having group access. *shrugs*

>.> People hate me You could just use: if(pb_username === "admin"){}

I know some javascript, just trying to help out x.x

Thanks for catching that. What I meant to say didn't come out right. ><
