Multi-coloured usernames?

[Ktulu]

So, this code would not work for me at all, but then I realized that it stated at the top that those codes would not work for v5 forums.

Is there a new way to do this?

The closest thing we have in plugin form is Wormo's  Color Smear. You can download it straight from your administration panel by going to the plugin library.

If you are set on this code in particular you can post a request it be made in the plug in request board: support.proboards.com/board/38/plugins

<script type="text/javascript">

/* Rainbow usernames for groups or users, code found from

http://rainbowcoding.com/how-to-create-rainbow-text-in-html-css-javascript */



function color_from_hue(hue)

{

var h = hue/60;

var c = 255;

var x = (1 - Math.abs(h%2 - 1))*255;

var color;



var i = Math.floor(h);

if (i == 0) color = rgb_to_hex(c, x, 0);

else if (i == 1) color = rgb_to_hex(x, c, 0);

else if (i == 2) color = rgb_to_hex(0, c, x);

else if (i == 3) color = rgb_to_hex(0, x, c);

else if (i == 4) color = rgb_to_hex(x, 0, c);

else color = rgb_to_hex(c, 0, x);



return color;

}



function rgb_to_hex(red, green, blue)

{

var h = ((red << 16) | (green << 8) | (blue)).toString(16);

// add the beginning zeros

while (h.length < 6) h = '0' + h;

return '#' + h;

}



(function( $ ) {



$.fn.rainbowize = function() {

return this.each(function() {

var rainbowtext = '';

var hue=0;

var step=0;



// get the current text inside element

var text = $(this).text();



// hue is 360 degrees

if (text.length > 0)

step = 360 / (text.length);



// iterate the whole 360 degrees

for (var i = 0; i < text.length; i++)

{

rainbowtext = rainbowtext + '<span style="color:' + color_from_hue(hue) + '">' + text.charAt(i) + '</span>';

hue += step;

}



$(this).html(rainbowtext);

});

};

})( jQuery );



$(".group-1").rainbowize();

$(".user-2").rainbowize();



</script>


Go to this part of your forum, and paste this in Footer.
/admin/structure/headers/category/0

The only part you have to edit are the last lines:



$(".group-1").rainbowize();



$(".user-2").rainbowize();

If you DONT want the Custom title to be rainbowified, edit ths user and group to this:
$(".user-link.group-1").rainbowize();

$(".user-link.user-2").rainbowize();
