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

You wouldn't need the third =. Just pb_username == "admin". However, that doesn't solve his problem of adding multiple users for multiple usergroups, hence using RegEx to specific each user.

Woa, epic replies. So let's see here; to recap:


Guests Only:

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

Members Only:

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

Specific Members Only:

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

Yep, looks like you got it.

The third "=" means it has to be the exact same as what is after the equal signs in "".

Yes, but in this scenario, 2 will suffice. As already stated, it requires RegEx to resolve this.

Just tryign to prove a point

When you're comparing strings, that doesn't matter. The third = is for when you're comparing things of two different types.
For example "" == 0 == false
But "" !== 0 !== false because the first is a string, second is an integer, and third is a boolean.
Hence you don't need the extra = when comparing two strings.

Could you use something like getComputedStyle (or whatever it is) to get the CSS group color property or something. i.e. users have different colour names depending on their group.

No need, just get the className from a link with their username as the .href.

But there's no guarantee that a link with their name in it will be on the page, hence the problem. >_>

That is very true, hence why you come across a link which fits the criteria, you save their group in cookies!

Rendering the code useless until the link is displayed (have fun explaining that to your members).

when someone logs in, they're redirected to the home page that WILL contain a link to their profile!

[Charles Stover]

But not a link that will contain the group. I don't think.

Although maybe in the Users Online. Lest they be invisible (possibly). It requires testing, so someone make this.

Yea, in the Users Online ... Hm.. didn't think about them being invisible tbh.
