Group Title Anywhere

[Wormopolis]

Browser Tested: IE and FF
placement: global footer (bottom)

scans page for group id number, then saves title from defined array and stores it for global display.

requires a HTML element with id="rankspot" to put the result

code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
//  userRank on Page
//  by Wormo
//  places result into DIV with id "rankspot"

rankTitles= [
[0,'Member'],   //[id num , id title]   doesnt have to be in order
[1,'Admin Supreme'],
[2,'GlobalModPerson'],
[3,'ModPerson'],
[5,'Head Graphics Mod'],
[6,'Graphics Helper'],
[4,'Code Helper']   //no comma last entry
];

//  end user variables


var pb_userGroupTitle='';
if (document.cookie.match(new RegExp('pb_userGroupTitle=(.*?)(;|$)'))) {
temp=RegExp.$1;
pb_userGroupTitle=temp;
}
if (pb_username=='Guest')  pb_userGroupTitle="Guest";
for (lnks=document.getElementsByTagName('a'), a=0; a<lnks.length; a++) {
 if (lnks[a].href.match(new RegExp('user='+pb_username,'')) && lnks[a].className && lnks[a].className.match(/group(\d+)/)) {
   var pb_userGroupNum=RegExp.$1;
   break;
 }
}
for (n=0; n<rankTitles.length; n++) {
 if (rankTitles[n][0]==pb_userGroupNum) {
   pb_userGroupTitle=rankTitles[n][1];
   break;
 }
}

if (pb_userGroupTitle!='') {
 document.getElementById('rankspot').innerHTML='Your Rank: '+pb_userGroupTitle;
 expDate=new Date();  expDate.setYear(expDate.getFullYear()+1);
 document.cookie='pb_userGroupTitle='+pb_userGroupTitle+'; expires='+expDate;
}
// -->
</script>

Good code.

Just a note. In the instructions above you say to use the id="rankstore', but in the code itself it is id="rankspot". It seems rankspot is the correct id.
