Changing nick colors

[patulo]

Hi folks !. I'd like to know if it possible to decide which nick color will be assigned to each user, dynamically, on the fly.

I'm going to explain you better. What I really need to have is 2 different types of users, one should keep his nick color "A", and all other users the nick color "B".

I think that a simple way to get this working would be that when a user joins the chat, from PHP to select his nick color as a parameter.

Well, that's all.
Any idea, suggestion, would be VERY appreciated.

for mine BW chat, i have set in startup script
$params['nickmeta'] = array(
"race" => $r['race'],
);
$params["theme_path"] = dirname(__FILE__);
$params["theme"] = "bw";

and in bw theme I have customize.js.php with:

pfcClient.prototype.buildNickItem = function(nickid) {
var nick = this.getUserMeta(nickid, 'nick');
var isadmin = this.getUserMeta(nickid, 'isadmin');
if (isadmin == '') isadmin = false;
var race = this.getUserMeta(nickid, 'race');
if (race == '') race = "Hm";
var allready_colorized = false;
var nickpos = 0;
for(var j = 0; j < this.nickcolor.length && !allready_colorized; j++)
{
if (this.nickcolor[j][0] == nick)
{
allready_colorized = true;
nickpos = j;
}
}
var li = document.createElement('li');
li.style.borderBottom = '1px solid #AAA';

var a = document.createElement('a');
a.setAttribute('href','#');
a.pfc_nick = nick;
a.pfc_nickid = nickid;
a.onclick = function(evt){
var d = pfc.getNickWhoisBox(this.pfc_nickid);
document.body.appendChild(d);
d.style.display = 'block';
d.style.zIndex = '400';
d.style.position = 'absolute';
d.style.left = (mousePosX(evt)-5)+'px';
d.style.top = (mousePosY(evt)-5)+'px';
return false;
}
li.appendChild(a);

if (isadmin) {
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.setAttribute('src', this.res.getFileUrl('images/user-admin.gif'));
img.setAttribute('alt', 'op');
img.style.marginRight = '5px';
img.setAttribute('class', 'pfc_nickbutton');
img.setAttribute('className', 'pfc_nickbutton'); // for IE6
a.appendChild(img);
}

var nobr = document.createElement('nobr');
var span = document.createElement('span');
span.setAttribute('class', 'pfc_nickmarker pfc_nick_'+nickid+' '+race);
span.setAttribute('className', 'pfc_nickmarker pfc_nick_'+nickid+' '+race); // for IE6
span.appendChild(document.createTextNode(nick));
nobr.appendChild(span);
a.appendChild(nobr);
if (!allready_colorized)
{
this.nickcolor.push(new Array(nick, race));
}
else
{
this.nickcolor[nickpos][1] = race;
}


return li;
};


and by having defined race in CSS i got the result every race have its own color.

$params["nickmeta"] = array("race" => $nickcolor["adam2"] =blue');
$params["nickmeta"] = array("race" => $nickcolor["adam3"] = 'yelow');
he changeable 'race'　take a color from the Last race(yelow). and Each user have the same last color (last changeable race) . Any sugestions ?

I have exactly the same problem. I want to be able to specify the nick colour based on the individual nick of the user. Have searched the various forum posts for some time now but there is no clear explanation of it. I've tried the following but it didn't work (despite /rehash, clearing browser cache and restarting it)

index.php ->

$params["nickmeta"] = array("mycolor" => "#0000FF"); (as an example based on a specific user name)


and in customize.js.php within themes/default folder:

pfcClient.prototype.buildNickItem_modify_nick_style = function(nickid, span) {
span.style.color = this.getUserMeta(nickid, 'mycolor');
}


I'm sure it can't be that difficult, I just need a clear explanation from someone if possible.
