[EnIgMa1234]

please make sure you followed the steps correctly. try reinstalling it. if that doesnt work, could you pm me a link to you site & the code for the navbar your using

[Jeordie015]

I know someone is going to request this, so it may as well be me.

How about making it so there's a period of time for "good morning," a period of time for "good afternoon," and a period of time for "good evening?" So like, from 6:00AM to 12:00AM, it would be "good morning." From 12:00AM to 5:00PM it would be "good afternoon." And from 5:00PM to midnight it would be "good evening." Or something like that. Making the times customizable in the admin CP would be cool too.

[JsnakeJ]

lol its just fixing your coding. Take a look at the code in both of em. In yours theres unclosed tags and unneeded ones.

I got errors importing yours so I did a little editing and now it works perfect.

[chkdgate]

I'm getting errors on the update.

Let me give it a second go around.

[chkdgate]

It's not showing now.

[Soliloquy]

XML Error: mismatched tag at Line 21

[taydu]

for some reason the goodafternoon_x or afternoon_x (depend on which xml file you use) didn't get added to the phase manager. Go to the phase Manager and add goodafter_x of afternoon_x then it should be fine.

[chkdgate]

I got that too.

Can we just get an update that corrects these issues?

[EnIgMa1234]

its all working now. sorry about that. didnt have time to test. :D

[chkdgate]

Now, that's what I call an update.:up:

[EnIgMa1234]

thanks for installing. if you have any problems, dont be shy about asking me :D

[Robru]

V1.1:

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]"><script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date()
var time = d.getHours()

if (time < 12)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodmorning_x]</b>")
}
else if (time>=12 && time<18)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[afternoon_x]")
}
else
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodevening_x]")
}
</script></phrase></strong>

Find:

document.write("<b>$vbphrase[afternoon_x]")

Replace with:

document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodafternoon_x]")

[taydu]

Just curious why there is no </b> tag after goodafternoon and goodevening?

[EnIgMa1234]

i'll add one in now

[Soliloquy]

Installed; so far so good this time!

[EnIgMa1234]

good :D

[chkdgate]

That's good. For a second there, it wasn't working but then taydu's post fixed this problem. Thanks.

[Charlie98902]

I never had a prior version installed so what do I need to do as I imported the xml and it installed with no change?

[EnIgMa1234]

did you do the template changes?

[chkdgate]

Just perform the Navbar template mod from above and you're done.

[rjmjr69]

Very easy install works just fine in 3.6.4 with tons of mods.... Thanks

[WEBDosser]

Nice hack..

[Tralala]

Nice mod!

/clicks install



Note, if you want to make this greeting clickable, so it takes the user to their profile, then in the navbar template put

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">


right before

<phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]"><script type="text/javascript">

Thank you for this little add on

Most definitely!

[EnIgMa1234]

i was thinking of using vbulletin options too

[chkdgate]

Is there a way to where we can have this show the message on line 1 then the last log in information on line 2 and finally the PM info on line 3? It just looks too long. See screen cap below.

[EnIgMa1234]

just add <br /> after the template edit

Any way to just make the greeting and username clickable instead of the entire line that also includes the last login info?

[Tralala]

what would everyone like to see in the next version of this?

-Admin prefs to change the actuall text of each of the greetings

-Admin prefs to change the times they are invoked

-Three graphics to associate: bright sun, medium sun (?) and moon

I'd also like the greeting to be a separate phrase on it's own in the xml (distinct from the username which would reside in the navbar template.) That way I could make just the username itself clickable, and not the entire line, or make it bolder or a different size or color or whatever.

[EnIgMa1234]

yes i will do that

[Tralala]

sweet!

[Rickeo]

This is one sweet mod works fine on this end

[apiasto]

how can i get v 1.2 need that good after noon please

[Tralala]

-Admin prefs to change the actuall text of each of the greetings


Along these lines, I'd like to see a Admin pref for a "temporary override" ... so, for example, I could type in "Merry Christmas!" on December 25. Give that temporary override an expiration date, so it knows when to resume with the normal greetings, and you got yourself a winner. Maybe even a Mod of the Month. :)

Add a bunch of customizable fields with start/end dates, and we can pre-fill them up with upcoming holidays!

[EnIgMa1234]

yes thats a good idea. i will look into it

[Tralala]

yes thats a good idea. i will look into it

Thanks! Would be nice way to celebrate holidays... I thought of it because today is President's Day.

:)

[EnIgMa1234]

i am starting this project today

[EnIgMa1234]

this project is nearly ready. just gotta fix 1 or 2 big problems

[rjmjr69]

this project is nearly ready. just gotta fix 1 or 2 big problems

SWEET. I already have the original installed but with all these new features I can't wait till your done... Great work. I also would like the order of the lines changed and all these suggestions are awesome. custom text for holidays and such would be awesome. And admin control over it all via the cp would be great too

[Tralala]

this project is nearly ready. just gotta fix 1 or 2 big problems


Excellent, EnIgMa1234... happy to hear you liked my suggestions. If you'd like me to test anything, feel free to let me know. :)

[apiasto]

ok found the problem it was in navbar temp. working great thnx

[EnIgMa1234]

my computer is broken so i will be finishing v3 when i get my computer back

[chkdgate]

Has anyone tried it with 3.6.5 yet?

[EnIgMa1234]

it works with 3.6.5

[EnIgMa1234]

i have finally gotten around to release the new version

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=141120

[karabaja3]

anything for 3.7.0.?

[Kinneas]

I have modified this for 3.7 :)

Find:

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[welcome_x_link_y]</phrase></strong><br />

Replace with:

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]"><script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date()
var time = d.getHours()
if (time < 12)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodmorning_x]</b>")
}
else if (time>=12 && time<18)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodafternoon_x]</b>")
}
else
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodevening_x]</b>")
}
</script></phrase></strong><br />


You also need to edit the Phrases for Goodmorning_x, Goodafternoon_x and Goodevening_x, like so

Good Morning, {1}.
change to
Good Morning, <a href={2}>{1}</a>.

Obviously repeat this with the other 2.

[ArjanU]

Is there an option to make:

Goodmorning
Goodafternoon
Goodevening
Goodnight?

Here in Europe we use Goodmorning from 06.00AM till 12.00, Goodafternoon from 12.00 till 06.00PM, Goodevening from 06.00PM till 0.00AM and Goodnight from 0.00 till 06.00AM

When it is 0.05AM there is standing Goodmorning, it is better here to say Goodnight :)

Thanks!

[Welshy2008]

Brilliant - Thank You.

[Welshy2008]

Slight Problem - Since adding this Hack - I have lost the "email" thingy under the usernames...

Please see attachment....

[Welshy2008]

This has only happened on my account (Admin) and another account (Super Admin).

[Welshy2008]

It has re-appeared on the Admin account. But NOT on the SuperAdmin account.

Does anyone know what is going on?

[Outbackmark]

I have just installed this on a couple of 3.6.11 forums and had to fiddle a bit as some hacks that place info in this area of the navbar hook onto the {welcome_x} phrase will be affected by the template edit.
I lost my New Posts since last visit and had to do the following

<if condition="$show['member']">

<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
<div class="smallfont">
<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]
<br />
<script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date()
var time = d.getHours()

if (time < 12)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodmorning_x]</b>")
}
else if (time>=12 && time<18)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodafternoon_x]</b>")
}
else
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodevening_x]</b>")
}
</script></phrase></strong><br />&nbsp;<if condition="$showinvisiblemode"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/<if condition="!$invisiblemode">in</if>visible.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ajax_invisible_mode]" onclick="requestMarkData('index.php?{$session[sessionurl]}do=doinvisiblemode&amp;userid={$invisiblemodeuser}',' parseMark',this)" /></if><br />
<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
</div>
</td>

<else />

It now says

I feel that saying "Good Evening" or even "Good Night" isn't appropriate for the hours between 12:00am and 05:00am, because: "Good evening" shouldn't refer to the early AM hours - that's simply not etymologically correct. If someone logs in to your forum at 1:00 am and you tell them "Good night!" it sounds like you're telling them to have a good night's sleep, as people normally say before they go to bed and close down for the day. I prefer a more welcoming term for the early AM caffeine-empowered individuals. 12-5am is a period I prefer to tell people "Good Early Morning"!

So I took the liberty of editing this hack so that it reads "Good Early Morning, Username", in which 'Username' will link to the member/users' profile page.

3-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Upload the file product_goodmorning_welcome_v2.xml to your /includes/xml/ directory.

2) Go to your AdminCP / Manage Products / and click "Add/Import Product", and Import the XML File from your server, enter: ./includes/xml/product_goodmorning_welcome_v2.xml

and click import. Be sure to select "allow overwrite" if you have already installed this product.

3) Template Edit:

Go to AdminCP / Style Manager / Edit Templates (from the drop-down menu) / Navigation Breadcrumb Templates / navbar

Edit the "navbar" template

Find (for 3.6 and maybe 3.7 vbulletin versions):
<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong>

OR if you are using a later 3.7 or 3.8 version of vbulletin, find this instead:

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[welcome_x_link_y]</phrase></strong><br />

and Replace with:
<!-- START Welcome User Edit -->
<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]"><script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date()
var time = d.getHours()
if (time>=0 && time<=5)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodearlymorning_x]</b>")
}
else if (time>=5 && time<12)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodmorning_x]</b>")
}
else if (time>=12 && time<18)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodafternoon_x]</b>")
}
else
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodevening_x]</b>")
}
</script></phrase></strong><br />

<!-- END Welcome User Edit -->

Done! :D

I have tested this hack on vb 3.6.x, 3.7.x, and am currently running it on vb3.8 BETA - it works on all of these. Enjoy!

[Welshy2008]

I have this on my 3.6.8 board.

I am upgrading it to a 3.8.1 at the weekend. Will this work on it please? I don't want to lose this fantastic add-on.

[SirFlash]

Welchy - I just installed this modification with my modification to it so that it also says "Good Early Morning" (posted above your post) on vb 3.8.4 PL1, and it works perfectly.

Mind you, I installed my modification (the post above yours), the code difference between my modification of this modification shouldn't be an issue though, I'm pretty sure it'll work perfectly whichever hack you wish to use (the post before yours or the author's original release). Enjoy!
