Thread Titles

[coolcoolcool]

Hi guys.

I'm making a quick plugin for my forum. Is there an easy way to modify the text of all thread titles? Right now I have $("a.thread-link, a.thread-recent-link"), but then there's also the title bars and then the navigation links to worry about.

Of course, I can also match for those, but I'm wondering if there might be something built into the new plugin system that might make it easier.

Thanks! 

Edit

Currently using $('a.thread-link, a.thread-recent-link, div.title-bar h1, .nav-tree-branch div a span'), but I think div.title-bar h1 is far from ideal.

This does sound like something that would be easier to do via the templates. What is it exactly you're trying to do?

Well, I technically already have it working.

As you can see in the code below, I am adding latex to the post area of my forum, but I do not want it to show up in any of the thread titles. To avoid this I manually remove dollar signs unless they are escaped by a backslash.

I don't understand how the template system works, as I have never experimented with it. Would I have to manually change the html of every page that would show the thread title?


<script>
$('a.thread-link, a.thread-recent-link, div.title-bar h1, .nav-tree-branch div a span').text(function(){
for(var i = 1; i < $(this).text().length; ++i)
{
if ($(this).text().charAt(i) == '$' && $(this).text().charAt(i-1) != '\\')
{
$(this).text($(this).text().substring(0,i) + $(this).text().substring(i+1));
i = i-1;
}
}
return $(this).text().replace(/^\$+/g, "");
});
</script>
<script src='https://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML'>
MathJax.Hub.Config({
       "HTML-CSS": { scale: 150, linebreaks: { automatic: true } },
       SVG: { linebreaks: { automatic:true } },
       displayAlign: "center",
    tex2jax: {
    inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']],
    processEscapes: true
}
  });
</script>


Although, now that I think about it, it might be better to just find a way to localize the latex to the post area.

Edit

Actually, that's what I'm going to do. I'll just configure the latex to only modify the body of the posts.

Thanks for your help!

Just checked out the template system and it was exactly what I needed.
