jQuery Flow Control (if then from URL params)
- by Ryan Max
Strangely enough I am more familiar with jQuery than I am with javascript. I need to be able to add a class to the body tag of a document depending on what specific forum page i'm on in a phpbb forum. Due to the nature of phpbb I can't actually do this flow control in php, so I am using jquery.
Here's my code (the first part is an extend that gets the url parameters like so
http://www.mysite.com/viewforum.php?f=3
var forum = $.getUrlVar('f');
will make forum == 3
because of the nature of phpbb i can't really do any flow control with php. So I am using jquery. This is my code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$.extend({
getUrlVars: function(){
var vars = [], hash;
var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
{
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
vars.push(hash[0]);
vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
}
return vars;
},
getUrlVar: function(name){
return $.getUrlVars()[name];
}
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
var forum = $.getUrlVar('f');
if (forum == 3){ $('body').toggleClass('black'); }
});
Yet this isn't working. Any idea why not?
