rank?

[theguy]

not sure if this is the right place to ask, sorry if its not

i want to know if there is a variable in javascript that i can use that will tell me wether the user is an admin, global mod, mod, member, or guest.

such as

if(usertype="admin") {
etc. etc.

---

where usertype is the variable name and the value of usertype is "admin"

i just need the variable name, and possible values of that variable.

There is no way for this information to be available on all pages. The only way you could do it would be to locate a link to the user's profile (such as in the info center) and use the classname to determine their membergroup (i.e. "group1" would be an administrator).

[Jay]

Yeah, there's a way. You can use cookies. For example, this will return 'admin' if you are the main admin.


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

if (document.cookie.match(new RegExp('user=(.*);', 'g'))) {
document.write(RegExp.$1);
}

//-->
</script>

[theguy]

how do i put the value of the cookie into a variable? and how can i do global mod or mod, or an additional admin?

[Ross]

Maybe something like:

var admin = /user=(admin1|admin2|admin3);/i;
var gmod = /user=(gmod1|gmod2|gmod3);/i;
var mod = /user=(mod1|mod2|mod3);/i;

Where the purple is the members usernames

[theguy]

i could do that

but then i would need the usernames in variables to identify wether or not they are an admin

and i am assuming that is an array, which i have no experince in

I think I know what this guy is referring to do. I tryed to do the same thing before. For some reason it does not work. Let me guess, you are trying to have things only appear for a certain user. Let me play around with some coding. I maybe able to figure it out.

[theguy]

that exactly it, nuclear. thanks

[Nuclear]

Darn, I just do not know how to do it. The group thing seems not to work, and having user == someusername does not seem to work either. Humm, I still have some other ideas to try out.

[Nuclear]

Sorry man, all of my ideas do not work. I know what you want, I just have no way of making it happen.

[theguy]

ok thanks anyway though

it would be convenient for us to have access to the actual code through ftp maybe like on phpbb but oh well

[california]

You want for a code to be displayed for a certain user?

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if(document.cookie.match(/user=joebob;/)){
document.write("This code can only be seen by joebob");
}
// -->
</script>
