I've been trying to gin up a small Greasemonkey script, that takes the content of a class and changes it to another class.
Basically it would change:
<ul class='user_type_1'>
into:
<ul class='administrator'>
But, I'm completely green to javascript & Greasemonkey, and all the research I did just left me even more confused.
Ideally I would like someone to explain in detail HOW I achieve this, instead of just handing over a script that works (though currently even that would be a help).
This is super-easy with jQuery (a javascript utility/library). jQuery provides the functions addClass()
and removeClass()
, to make this a snap.
Here is a complete, Firefox Greasemonkey, script that changes that class:
// ==UserScript==
// @name _Change one class into another.
// @include http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/*
// @require http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js
// @grant GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==
/*- The @grant directive is needed to work around a design change introduced
in GM 1.0. It restores the sandbox.
*/
//-- Get everything that has the class "user_type_1".
var userTypeNodes = $(".user_type_1");
userTypeNodes.removeClass ("user_type_1");
userTypeNodes.addClass ("administrator");
