Separating Staff and Members in the Info Center

[Lady Squid]

In V4 we had our Info Center shown as broken down, staff separately from members.

I believe that this is the code that made that happen:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
/* Staff Online by snap2000 */

var staffIcon = "http://i1357./q741/ArmitageArmy1/Smileys/angrywife_zps17e3cb9e.gif"; //icon to use in Info Center
var staffGroups=[
["Administrator", "1"],
["Global Moderator", "2"],
["Moderator", "3"],
["Technical Administrator", "1000"]
];

var row=document.getElementsByTagName("tr");
if(!location.href.match(/\?action\=(?!home)/)) {
for(r=0;r<row.length;r++) {
if(row[r].firstChild.className=="catbg" && row[r].firstChild.innerHTML.match("Users Online")) {
var staffList=[],staffCount=[];
for(g=0;g<staffGroups.length;g++) staffCount[g]=0;
var newCat=row[r].cloneNode(true);
newCat.firstChild.getElementsByTagName("b")[0].innerHTML="Staff Online";
var newWin=row[r+2].cloneNode(true);
var onlineCell=row[r+2].lastChild.getElementsByTagName("font")[0];
var staffCell=newWin.lastChild.getElementsByTagName("font")[0];
newWin.firstChild.innerHTML=(newWin.firstChild.firstChild.nodeName=="IMG") ? '<img src="'+staffIcon+'" border="0" alt="s" />' : 's';
onlineCell.innerHTML=onlineCell.innerHTML.replace(/\d+ Staff Members*,\s/,"");
var links=onlineCell.getElementsByTagName("a");
for(a=0;a<links.length;a++) {
if(links.className && links.className.match(/^group(\d+)$/)) {
reg=eval("\/\\b"+RegExp.$1+"\\b\/");
for(g=0;g<staffGroups.length;g++) {
if(staffGroups[g][1].match(reg)) {
staffCount[g]++;
staffList.push(links);
if(a<links.length-1) links.nextSibling.parentNode.removeChild(links.nextSibling);
break;
}
}
}
}

staffCell.innerHTML="";
for(g=0;g<staffGroups.length;g++) {
staffCell.innerHTML+=staffCount[g]+' '+staffGroups[g][0]+(staffCount[g]!=1?'s':'');
staffCell.innerHTML+=(g+1<staffGroups.length ? ', ' : '<br />');
}
for(a=0;a<staffList.length;a++) {
staffCell.appendChild(staffList);
if(a<staffList.length-1) staffCell.innerHTML+=", ";
}

if(onlineCell.lastChild.nodeType==3) onlineCell.lastChild.parentNode.removeChild(onlineCell.lastChild);
row[r].parentNode.insertBefore(newWin,row[r]);
row[r].parentNode.insertBefore(newCat,row[r]);
break;
}
}
}
//--></script>

Could we do this in V5?

thanks

How exactly is it you are wanting it?
Do you currently have the default info center for V5, or have you got modifications done to it or... ?
Do you want it so it simply appears like so in the default users online:

Staff: Name 1, Name 2
Members: Name 1, Name 2, Name 3, Name 4

Hi Stinky666

We have the default info center, have not touched it.

The way you have it listed is fine. Even though it's only been 8 days I cannot picture EXACTLY how it was listed before, I know that staff members had their titles listed too. (you can see them listed in "var staffGroups" in the code above)

Maybe something like:

Users online:
Staff: One Moderator, One Global Moderator (etc.)
(staff names)
Members: (names)

but if you can't get the titles in, that is OK.

Thanks in advance!

I've managed to separate staff from regular members, but I know of no way to separate them into individual groups at the moment.

Should be pretty easy to tell where those go in your Forum Wrapper template; the sections are pretty easy to spot.

How I worked this was I simply had it call the list of all online members (the usual 15-minute span and the 24-hour span, as appropriate for the category) twice in each instance (once for the staff list, and again for regular members). For the staff list, I simply had it not display regular members - same goes for the regular-members-only list (I simply had it not display staff members).

There is, however, a workaround for the commas; with the commas it'd usually have, it would display one at the end of a list when that name wasn't the last on the list of all online users. To work around that, I put a bar | in instead before each; that's the best workaround I could find that looks decent.

As a bonus, you also get some JavaScript that gives a count for all registered members by adding staff and regular members together (because the code designation that calls for "members" counts only counts non-staff).

If someone can figure out how to separate online users by exact group rather than...whatever it is the list's ordering is based upon, that'd be great.
