[RD] Wormopolis:[Request]Shiny nicknames

[яλíĐєn]

Hey Vergil, one little question about the code and how it is been shown to others and myself.

Why only my nickname is shiny from left to right but the other members i added to the code only shines there whole nickname instead shining like mine? or is it part of the effect?

[Virgil Sovereign]

Raiden,

The effect works by moving a color change incrementally over the individual letters of a link. To do this, it boxes each letter in its own "element". It appears that some of your links already have elements that encompass all the visible letters--to apply effects such as italicizing. Hence, this "block" is treated as a single letter by the shine script.

I'm busy most of this week, but give me to Friday and I can modify the hack so that it's compatible with any hacks you have applying additional formatting.

Regards,

Virgil

As far as friday yea bro take your time, i am busy myself pimping my htc hd7 with custom background colors and learning the registery of my phone and sure its fun. Now anxious for mango update as currently running beta 2, sure has a lot neat features. But aside from all ill come to this thread on friday to read your response. Thanks for your help and coming back to this topic.

I believe the superadmin on notmsnmoney has used several of the hacks you've developed for various board-enhancing features. Hence I'll thank you for those as well.

that would be ME, and indeed i do.. i love all you code geniuses.

makes me want to learn it myself!


(ps. hi Virgil.. didn't know you were pimpin' yourself out over here but it's a great idea! you have too much knowledge not to!)

Hi Raiden,

I've recoded the hack so that it should be compatible with the various italic/bold hacks (as well as the color smear) hack.

Give it a whirl and see whether it fits the bill.

You can use the following code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yourjavascript.com/1137015619/ccv.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yourjavascript.com/4011983431/vshiny-tanxguide.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

/*	List of users to shine. */

VShiny.sUsers = ['admin','tanxguide'];
VShiny.init();

</script>

with the list of users edited as needed using the

VShiny.sUsers = ['admin','tanxguide'];

line.

Yup works perfectly, now it dont shiny anywhere but just the nickname. Use to shine the links in Member's Bio - Modify Profile - Warn Member - Ban Member - Send Personal Message

One last thing, i wish i could host the code on my forum? but that is ok. Request Done tytyty

[cvekiboy]

Hope is not a problem to resurrect this thread with problems I face using this code.
admin user has a display name >Some FREAK< but code turns it to THIS!
Possible to correct this?

Thanks in advance!
And as always - NO RUSH ;D

EDIT *Can't reproduce display name that is shown - check the link!

Login out...

I put together the following scripted "shine" effect this morning, based on the example in the OP. You can see a demo of it here. It uses a single timer to cut down on overhead.

You'll have to include the following code in your global footer:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yourjavascript.com/1137015619/ccv.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

/*	VShiny 1.0 - Shines up your links.

	parameters should be set. */

var VShiny =	{

/* --- PARAMETERS TO EDIT --- */

/*	Number of milliseconds between 'shines'. */
	iDelay : 4000,

/*	Number of letters covered per second by the shine. */
	iLettersPerSecond : 12,

/*	Spread of the shine (stdv of a Gaussian dist. in letters). Larger values mean a wider shine. */
	rSpread : 2.6,

/*	R,G,B triplet specifying the shine color. */
	iShineCol : [255,255,255],

/*	Glow radius in ems. Set to zero (0) to turn off glow.
	Currently glow is turned off for Google Chrome since Chrome's text-shadow CSS effect mangles the letters. IE will
	only respect the glow if the DOCTYPE tag is properly set--which it isn't for ProBoards pages. Hence, the glow
	effect will only be visible to Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, and Safari users. */
	rGlowRad : 0.22,

/*	Function that returns 'true' if a candidate anchor (the argument) should have the shine effect applied, and 'false'
	otherwise. The function is currently set to apply a shine to any anchor referring to a user with group level > 0.

	Alternatively, you can specify shine elements by setting fxIsCandidate to null and manually invoking VShiny.add()
	with the IDs of (or references to) the elements you want to shine.

</script>

Alternatively (preferably), you can make modifications to the latter script block and save to a .js file, then upload to a .js hosting site such as yourjavascript.com. If you decide to use the code, I'll be around to answer questions and look into problems.

The code has been tested in IE 9, FF 5, Chrome, and Safari.

Virgil

Has  V5 plugin been created to replace the V4 version of this?

It has, but it's proprietary. Not released to the public at this time. I don't know that it ever will be.
