Hide-a-Board

[Dragon]

Well the point of this code is to make a board for my eyes or a handful of peoples eyes only. Well the way my site operates, I end up linking to a hidden board from one main board for each topic. Since I dont want people to see the hidden board..... It just so happens theres a bunch of boards like that. I didnt mean to make it sound so bad, just that it would be more than 1 board that I'd be hiding and its a tiny bit easier to use 1 code to hide multiple boards than multiple codes. D:

version upgrade 2.1: multiple board support

[Wormopolis]

try that version

I read the option you gave dragon: vanish(/^dragon$/,'ladiesonly'); used for hiding it from everone but that one username. I've tried a few edited variations to try and make it the way I want it, but I can't seem to make it work, so I was wondering, how do you use that code ^ and instead of the 1 username, add a few more exceptions?
Basically I need to be able to hide a few boards from everyone except a few specific members that are the only ones able to see and use that board (some boards will have different members allowed, so it would be best if I could just enter into the code which usernames for each hidden board). Is there a way to do this?

[Wormopolis]

vanish(/^(user1|user2|user3)$/,'ladiesonly');

try that

[watercrystals]

Okay.
It won't work beyond the first name. Such as, it works for user1 but none of the others entered; the board is still hidden from them
Is there something else I can try? I don't care if I have to use a line of code for every member, I really need this and it's exactly what I've been searching for, if we can only make it work for more than a single member.

[Wormopolis]

show me what you put

[watercrystals]

I put this in the global footer:


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function vanish(u_name, b_name) {
if ((pb_username.match(u_name) || u_name=='all') && pb_username!='admin') {
var rgx=new RegExp("board="+b_name,'');
var rgx2=new RegExp("board-"+b_name,'');
if (location.href.match(rgx)) location.href="/index.cgi";
iTrw=document.getElementsByTagName('tr');
for (j=0; j<iTrw.length; j++) {
if ((iTrw[j].innerHTML.match(rgx) || iTrw[j].innerHTML.match(rgx2)) && !iTrw[j].innerHTML.match(/<table/i) && iTrw[j].innerHTML.match(/forumjump/i)) {
iTsel=iTrw[j].getElementsByTagName('select');
for (m=0; m<iTsel.length; m++) {
iTopt=iTsel[m].options;
for (n=0; n<iTopt.length; n++) {
if (iTopt[n].value.match(rgx)) {
iTopt[n]=null;
while(iTopt[n].innerHTML.match('---')) iTopt[n]=null;
}
}
}
}
}
var holdit = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
if (holdit.innerHTML.match(rgx) || holdit.innerHTML.match(rgx2)) {
// if it does THEN scan page and remove
iTrw=document.getElementsByTagName('tr');
for (j=0; j<iTrw.length; j++) {
if ( (iTrw[j].innerHTML.match(rgx) || iTrw[j].innerHTML.match(rgx2)) && !iTrw[j].innerHTML.match(/<table/i)) {
if (!iTrw[j].innerHTML.match(/topic:/i)) {
if (location.href.match(/search/i)) {
iTrw[j].getElementsByTagName('input')[0].checked=false;
p=j+1;
while(iTrw

.cells.length>1) {
if (iTrw

.cells[1].getElementsByTagName('font')[0].innerHTML.slice(0,2).match('-')=='-') {
iTrw

.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].checked=false;
iTrw[p++].style.display='none';
}
}
}
iTrw[j].style.display='none';
} else {
iTlnk=iTrw[j].getElementsByTagName('a');
for (k=0; k<iTlnk.length; k++) {
if (iTlnk[k].href.match(rgx)) {
iTlnk[k].href='';
iTlnk[k].innerHTML="hidden";
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
vanish(/^(admin|amara)$/,'moaningmbathroom');
vanish(/^(admin|amara|sophie)$/,'dumbledoreoffice');

// -->
</script>

[Wormopolis]

hmm.. thats tricky since it concerns negated or groups.. try this:

vanish(/(admin|amara|sophie){0}/,'dumbledoreoffice');

[watercrystals]

Still doesn't work past the first listed user

[Wormopolis]

version upgrade 2.5: hide negation. set third parameter to true to invert the hide

[watercrystals]

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand what that means. Could you please explain a little more?

[Wormopolis]

look at the example at the end of the code. I added in a third parameter to invert the purpose of the function.

[watercrystals]

Are you refering to this section:

function vanish(u_name, b_name, negated) {
if (negated==undefined) negated=false;

Where is says false there, should I change it to true in order to use the vanish(/^(user1|user2|user3)$/,'testboard'); part? Just checking

[Wormopolis]

no dont change the upper part, just add your vanish call at the end like you have been, but you will put the 2 usernames, the board id, and true

vanish(/user1|user2/,'boardid',true);
