Admin Mode

[seventheyejosh]

Hey all. I was wondering if someone could give me a quick snippet that'll change every instance of one class to another onclick. So i can have an 'admin side of a forum without an actual one '.

 

basically just a button ->

 

<input type=button value="Enable Admin Mode" onclick="enable();">

 

and a little function that will change all of the classes. note: i know a bit of js, but obviosuly the following example would never ever work

 

function enable(){

foreach element with class of 'adminhidden' update to class of 'admindisplayed'

}//end function

 

thanks

Try to use Jquery or Protoype. Using one of them you can do this with 2 or 3 lines and keep it cross-browser.

Just to give you the heads up, this is horribly insecure. Anyone will be able to see the admin buttons in your source code, and can just change the css visibility themselves to get access to your admin panel.

well im using (on this site) the smarty template engine, im not sure if you're familiar, but basically on the php side i'll do

 

<?

 

if (isset($is_admin)){

 

$smarty->assign('variable with admin divs',$variable);

 

}

 

?>

 

then the smarty will be

 

$variable_with_admin_divs

 

so basically, if the php perms dont match, not only will the 'button' never be created, but the divs it unlocks wont be either

 

it wont even be in the source code.
