Description of problem

Hello! I have couple questions about dice rolls.

1) Following script provided here - https://help.forumotion.com/t141900-quick-reply-display-dice-rolls?highlight=dice - where is the best place to put it in? The scripts page or templates?

2) Is there a way to customise the dice rolls result? Now it says something like:

The member 'Kami-sama' has done the following action : Dice roll
#1 'First' :
#1 Result : 7

I would like to at least translate it (the forum is not in english)

Regards,

The code should be added in the javascript page. About the second problem, the texts can be modified, but I'll need a link to a forum page that display's those texts(I don't use dice rolls on my forum so I don't know how it works).

Hello Wolfuryo,

The issue is basically, you select one account in the forum and automatic result is posted as a message bellow the roll itself with that selected account. There are no specific tags in the message (that would mark it as dice roll result, like special IDs or classes). I have an idea how to just translate it (done that before), but would be interesting to modify the layout itself /

[Guest]

The only way to modify it would be by using javascript in this case. I don't there are any templates for dice rolls so that's the only way.

[Kami-sama]

But I don't think that it will affect it well. As I mention, there are no specific Tags in the dice roll result post.... I wish there were more templates available.

You'll have to do something like this:

Code:

$(function(){
$(":contains('Text to modify')").text("New text");
})

You have to modify

Code: Text to modify

with the old text(the default one) and

Code: New text

with the updated text.

How to check if for example SPAN element contains another SPAN element AND other text?
Example:

Code:

<span><span>Text</span>Other Text</span>


$("span:contains('<span>Text</span>Other Text')").text("New text");

As I tested, it has some issues with <> and " I think.

[Guest]

This should work:

Code: $("span>span:contains('Text')")

:contains only works with text nodes, not html elements. If you need to select for example a span that contains another span, you have to use span>span

[Kami-sama]

Oh, then it will apply style or whatever to the first span?
Nice was looking for that for an hour now ;DD

[Guest]

If you want to apply some styles to that, you should add a class via jquery and than style the elem via css:

Code:

$("span>span:contains('Text')").addClass("class_name")

Or if you want to add an id, you have to use

Code: .attr("id", "id_name")

I am just concerned, that this will really slow down the page load time....

[Guest]

It should not slow it down too much, no more than half of a millisecond. Make sure to place the script just in a page where it is needed, so that it does not loads on pages where it is no need for it.
