[Code] Change Username Across Board v7

[Agent Moose]

Put this in your Header if you do not already have it:

Code: [Select]

<script src="/jquery.js"></script>

Footers:

Code: [Select]

<script>
var v7 = new Array();
v7[v7.length] = ["ID","NEW NAME","COLOR"];

function name_across_board(){
var Name = document.links;
for(v=0;v<Name.length;v++){
for(x=0;x<v7.length;x++){
if(Name[v].href.match("action=profile;u=" + v7[x][0] + "$") && Name[v].parentNode.tagName == "b"){
Name[v].innerHTML = v7[x][1] != "" ? v7[x][1] : Name[v].innerHTML;
Name[v].style.color = v7[x][2];
};};};};
name_across_board();
</script>
I need to think of a better name than Change Username Across Board v7...I have to many version of this code

Anyway, this is just like all the others, but instead of going by the Member Name, it goes by the Members ID.

ID = The Members ID Number (go to Admin > Members to find members ID numbers.)
NEW NAME = the New Name for that member (You may use HTML).  If you don't want that user to have a new name, just leave it blank.
COLOR = The color of that username.

To do this for more then one member add more of these right under the first one:

Code: [Select]

v7[v7.length] = ["ID","NEW NAME","COLOR"];

To use an image before the name:   change that part of the code to this:

Code: [Select]

v7[v7.length] = ["ID","<img src='IMAGE URL'> NEW NAME","COLOR"];
Put your pic's url where it says:   IMAGE URL


Enjoy

ok im confused. the members name im trying to change is connor. so in the member id i type connor then new i typed connor again and then in color i typed orange. and his name is still white. what did i do wrong? also by the "html" does that mean i can add an icon by it?

You did the ID part wrong
To get the members ID, you will need to go to Admin > Members
Connors name will be there, along with the ID, put the ID in the part for ID, and then NEW NAME is optional, then you can put orange for the COLOR part.

I think you can only do things like make the name in bold or italic in html there 
There are other codes that let you put images by the names - such as the runescape crown code
There is a Guide for that here:
How to add a runescape crown next to name
You can change the color of their name and use an icon with it using that code

Andrew, i think there's a problem with that code (I tried it and it didn't work), can you take a look at it please?




*faulty code edited out of post

4Markie hi.   The code Andrew posted would not work because the original code was messed up.
Moose fixed it -  Ive cleared out those posts so no one else winds up using that one.

This code would work better for you for what you are wanting to do:

Oh thanks  . I already am using that version of the RS crowns code. The code that Andrew posted was exactly what I was looking for because I was searching for another version of the runescape crowns code. But it didn't turn out to work, and now I know why .

Thanks anyhow

Here -  I did it as Andrew did but with the updated code:
(tested and it works)

Code: [Select]

<script>
var v7 = new Array();
v7[v7.length] = ["ID","<img src='IMAGE URL'> NEW NAME","COLOR"];

function name_across_board(){
var Name = document.links;
for(v=0;v<Name.length;v++){
for(x=0;x<v7.length;x++){
if(Name[v].href.match("action=profile;u=" + v7[x][0] + "$")){
Name[v].innerHTML = v7[x][1] != "" ? v7[x][1] : Name[v].innerHTML;
Name[v].style.color = v7[x][2];
};};};};
name_across_board();
</script>
*added directions for using an image with the code to the first post

I've just discovered a bug with this code, this code will change anything that links back to the addressed profile into what you put as "NEW NAME"

(EX: The "View profile" button on your posts will be changed to what you put as "NEW NAME")

Is there a way around this?

[simply sibyl]

ack!    Moose will have to fix this.

[4markie]

ack!    Moose will have to fix this.

I'll post a screenshot in a minute.  

UPDATE: Here's the screenshot



Look inside the red box in the image, the "view profile" icon is changed. I'm assuming the fact it links back to your profile is causing this to happen. 

[Agent Moose]

Agh. (is that even a word?)

Anyway, I know why it does this, but I can't fix the code till I get back home. (I'm at my grandparents house ^_^)  I will be getting back sometime tomorrow.  I shall try to fix it then

Cool. Runescape is very popular, so this should go over well
