Multi-Coloured Usernames ; I would really appreciate some help...:)

What browser(s) are you using? I am using 'Internet Explorer'...:)
Your Forum System (IF or ZB): InvisionFree (IF)
Your Issue/Question: Upon looking at many 'Proboards' sites, I have seen that there are a number of them that use a code allowing for particular 'Usernames' to be 'Multi-Coloured'. I am just wondering if there is such a code for 'InvisionFree', as the one used for 'Proboards' does not seem to work on an 'InvisionFree' board and if so, where I may find it?...:) Upon looking in your 'Code Index', I can't seem to find one; I do hope that someone may be able to help...:)

The 'Code' I have found is located below (Please Note: This unfortunately only seems to work on 'Proboards'...:[):

Code:
 
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* multi-colored names - ross - open source but please keep header intact */
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
function changeName(username, displayname) {
for(i=0; i<a.length; i++) {
if(a.item(i).href.match(new RegExp('user='+username+'$', 'i'))) {
a.item(i).innerHTML = displayname;
}
}
}

changeName('xxxxxxxxxx', '<font color=76c014>xxxx</font><font color=69a511>xxxx</font><font color=609c10>xxxx</font><font color=52810d>xxxx</font><font color=4b720c>xxxx</font><font color=41600a>xxxx</font><font color=99CCFF>xxxx</font><font color=395208>xxxx</font><font color=2b3c06>xxxx</font><font color=283606>xxxx</font><font color=222d05>xxxx</font><font color=192004>xxxx</font><font color=070901>xxxx</font>');

//-->
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var i = document.getElementsByTagName('i');
for(t=0; t<i.length; t++)
if(i[t].innerHTML == 'Last Edit:')
i[t].parentNode.style.display = 'none';
//-->
</script>


I apologise if I have done something wrong in asking this; I hope I am posting this query in the appropriate board...:(

All the best to you and thank you so much again for everything,

 You posted in the right spot. :)

I haven't been able to locate an invisionfree code that does what you are looking for, but perhaps one could be written, as there are several codes that manipulate user name colors for individual users. It's possilble that someone here could write a code for you. However, if that offer is not made shortly, You may request a code in this member shop forum: Slayer's Coding Shop for BB credits. You can also request a code at http://zbcode.com/ , but be aware that there is a posting requirement before you can make a request. there.

cool ZN coder

 This should work for you... tell me if it doesn't.. I don't do much with IF anymore. Footers:
Code:
 
<script type='text/javascript'>
<!--
function cName(user,newName) {
var l = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
var _l = l.length;
while (_l--) {
if (l[_l].parentNode.parentNode.nodeName == 'TD' && l[_l].parentNode.parentNode.className == 'row4' && l[_l].innerHTML.indexOf(user)!=-1) {
l[_l].innerHTML = newName;
}}}
cName("Reid","<span style='color:red'>R</span><span style='color:green'>e</span><span style='color:blue'>i</span><span style='color:purple'>d</span>");
//-->
</script>
Make note of the last line. The function goes like so: cName("before","after") and you just keep adding that over and over if you want more names changed.

The above code would change my name (Reid) to Reid on the boards... or it should anyways..

Edit: oh yeah and I should note that this script can change the username entirely too if you want. You could do cUser("Reid","Fancy") and it would change my name to fancy. Isn't that neat?!? :P

 Hi HelenaZF and Reid,

I really appreciate all of your help and I can't thank you enough for all of the time that you have spent in replying, it really is appreciated...:) If there is anything I can ever do, please do not hesitate to let me know...:)

Thank you so much Reid, I can't tell you how wonderful it is and most of all, it works! :D I was really giving up hope that I would be able to find anything but due to you, you have now helped me to see that it is possible to use such a code on 'InvisionFree'...:) I wish to thank you so much; for not working so much on 'Internet Explorer' anymore, you are a brilliant coder...:)

All the best to you both and thank you so much again for all the help you have provided me with,
