Question about how to code something

[rednspirited]

I want to change the color of staff names by the staff level how would I go about coding that so it out ranks the donor colored names?

You'll have to edit all instances of a username being displayed.
What have you got and what have you tried so far?

Do you have a link? I wouldn't mind helping out.

heres what i got 

 }
        if ($r['donatordays'])
        {
            $r['username'] = "<font color=red>{$r['username']}</font>";
            $d =
                    "<img src='donator.gif' alt='Donator: {$r['donatordays']} Days Left' title='Donator: {$r['donatordays']} Days Left' />";
        }
        else if ($r['user_level'] == 2)
        {
            $r['username'] = "<font color=blue>{$r['username']}</font>";
            $d =
        }
        if ($r['laston'] >= time() - 15 * 60)
        {
            $on = "<font color=green><b>Online</b></font>";
        }
        else
        {
            $on = "<font color=red><b>Offline</b></font>";
        }

How about creating a function?

function username($userid) {
        global $db, $ir;
        if(!$userid) {
            return 'N/A';
        }
        $colours = array(
            1 => 'brown',
            2 => 'gold',
            3 => 'blue'
        );
        $select = mysql_query("SELECT `username`, `user_level` FROM `users` WHERE `userid` = " . $userid);
        if(!$mysql_num_rows($select)) {
            return 'N/A';
        }
        $user = mysql_fetch_array($select);
        $ret = '';
        if($user['user_level'] > 1) {
            $ret = "<a href='viewuser.php?u=".$userid."' style='color:".$colours[$user['user_level']].";'>".$user['username']."</a>";
        } else if(!$user['user_level']) {
            $ret = "<a href='viewuser.php?u=".$userid."' style='color:brown;' title='NPC'>".$user['username']."</a>";
        } 
        return $ret;
    }
	

 

Add that to global functions and when you want to a username to display use e.g. -

 <?php echo username($r['userid']); ?>

You can still add on to this to show donator users and etc.

i can try it :) but tomorrow when my mind isnt squashed :) 

ty for the help and idea :)

Reason for your staff colours not overriding donator is because you've added them after the donator colouring condition.
Flip 'em round (see example below)

if ($r['user_level'] == 2) {
    $r['username'] = "<font color=blue>{$r['username']}</font>";
    $d = '';
} elseif ($r['donatordays']) {
    $r['username'] = "<font color=red>{$r['username']}</font>";
    $d = "<img src='donator.gif' alt='Donator: {$r['donatordays']} Days Left' title='Donator: {$r['donatordays']} Days Left' />";
}

If you don't mind your staff members also having the donator icon (if applicable), you can set $d between your colour conditions and username output

<?php 
$color = null;
if($r['user_level'] == 2) {
    $color = 'blue';
} elseif($r['donatordays'] > 0) {
    $color = 'red';
}
if($r['donatordays'] > 0) {
    $titleAlt = 'Donator: '.$r['donatordays'].' Day'.($r['donatordays'] == 1 ? '' : 's').' Left';
    $d = ' <img src="donator.gif" title="'.$titleAlt.'" alt="'.$titleAlt.'" />';
} else {
    $d = '';
}
if($color !== null) {
   $r['username'] = '<span style="color:'.$color.';">'.$r['username'].'</span>';
}

// Output
echo $r['username'],$d;

That being said, I would recommend throwing this logic into a function seeing as there are 120 instances of a username being echoed out somewhere - that's a lot of places to update in order to unify your changes.
@Shades's function would get you off the ground. Tweak to your liking and implement across the board!
