Ultimate Header Greeting for vB 4

[Boofo]

Ultimate Header Greeting for vB 4
Version 1.0.7
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product adds an Ultimate Greeting to the header set to each member's local time, instead of the server time, as well as showing the user's real name, if one is available, in the header and the postbit. It also adds the options to automatically check the 'Register Rules Agree' and 'Remember Me' checkboxes.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Added "Ultimate Header Greeting Font Color" setting and made greeting text bold so it matches the line better.
Version 1.0.2 --Added "New User Profile Field" instructions for the real name to the install file. The Real name will now show both in the header and the postbit, if it is available.
Version 1.0.3 --Added option to check "Register Rules Agree" checkboxes separately from the "Remember Me" checkboxes. Added STANDARD_ERROR templates "Remember Me" checkboxes automatic templates edits.
Version 1.0.4 --Fixed issue with phrases and real name not showing properly for some language translations if you had more than one language installed. Added "Sunday brunch" greeting for Sunday at 11:00 am. The lunch greeting will not be shown on Sunday, but will show on all the other days.
Version 1.0.5 --Removed font color setting and added Style Variable setting for the Ultimate Header Greeting Font Color, so it can be set for each style separately.
Version 1.0.6 --Added CSS code so the username is now in the same color as the welcome greeting. Added setting to remove the "My Profile" link from the header, since clicking on the username/real name in the welcome greeting will already take you to your profile. Added birthday greeting that will show all day on each member's birthday. Added setting to turn the birthday greeting on/off.
Version 1.0.7 --Expanded setting to remove the "My Profile" link from the header and/or navbar templates since some designers insist on moving the link to places it shouldn't be moved to. Hopefully, this will allow more custom styles to be able to use this setting without having to manually edit the templates.

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Dragonsys for supplying me with a backup of my "Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7" mod, on which this is based.

Thanks tagged and will use later today.

[your24hourstore]

can you make this change the color of the messege boofo the color never works with my header for WELCOME

put a option for #000000 in it ?

[Boofo]

It uses the default header. Whatever the message color is before you install it is the same color it should be after you install it. The color doesn't get touched, just the wording. Were you able to see the word Welcome before?

I could see its just kind of camouflaged, would like to set it to a new color how bout a mod to do just that LOL

[Charlie98902]

Go into stylvars and change the color of that text is what he just said. You can't change just that color alone bu the whole text area up there.

[your24hourstore]

the rest is fine its white the welcome is a grey color so its not if it was white also it would be ok , so .. ive changed what i can

I'll look into adding the ability to color the greeting line. It shouldn't be too hard at all.

[AzzidReign]

Interesting...not sure if it's worth the hassle for me but good release.

[KURTZ]

Bob, this is a really interesting product (also for the remember me option, that's really useful!!)

but i need another option for the postbit ... can you add something?

[Boofo]

What option for the postbit?

[KURTZ]

What option for the postbit?

the visualization of the name in the postbit Bob, like the Mosh's product ... :)

[Boofo]

It is already there in the postbit with this mod. Did you check it?

[KURTZ]

i haven't seen it ... maybe i had lost an option?

ps. just installed onto my playing board ... it doesn't runs ... (you still have the fully access Bob, check yourself)

[Boofo]

Does it show up in the profile?

Not hard to do Mike, what do you want changing ? PM me :D

Nexia had the exact same mod on vb3.8 which I altered according to my board - eg Popcorn time {username} ;)

[BlueCheri]

I liked it, mark installed :)

Thanx

[KURTZ]

found another issue: i've already translated all phrases but i haven't the translated greets in the header ... :S

[Boofo]

No, it was not the exact same mod. My version of this has been around way before that one. Where do you think the time code came from for that one?

[Boofo]

The phrases are there for the greetings, too.

[Boofo]

http://www.fniv.it/suite/forum.php

I use the postbit_legacy. I will have to see what is going on but it looks like you have some other mods in the postbit.

[KURTZ]

if i change the lang your greets aren't show up ...

yes, maybe there is an incompatibility, but with the mosh' hack i haven't any trouble ...

Hey i was not after changing anything
Just saying it would be better with a few more of bobs random comments in it :)

[Boofo]

if i change the lang your greets aren't show up ...

Are you changing the phrases or the code itself? Others have translated this for their specific languages and have had no issues.
yes, maybe there is an incompatibility, but with the mosh' hack i haven't any trouble ...Well, that makes no sense as Mosh and I are using almost the same code, as there is really only one way to do this.

[Boofo]

I asked for a list of wanted phrases and times when I released the vb 3 series versions and got very little back in responses. There are 2 in there that are for a specific minute of each day. If you guys want more, you have to let me know and they have to make some sort of sense and use for the majority.

[KURTZ]

Bobby i've only touched (translated) the phrases ... not the code ... you can view this by yourself onto my testing board ...

[RobbieZ]

No, it was not the exact same mod. My version of this has been around way before that one. Where do you think the time code came from for that one?

Didnt mean to disrespect Boofo. Sorry if I did

[Boofo]

No problem, sir, and sorry I snapped. Long story, sucky ending. ;)

[Boofo]

The new version "should" fix your problem. Please let me know either way.

Am game for more mate if you have time ;)

[Boofo]

Well, make a list and I will look at it.

[KURTZ]

sorry Bob, the greets issue is still there ... :(

[Boofo]

Then you must have another mod messing with it or you edited something wrong. I just tested it with Italian phrases and they showed up fine for the greeting.

it's strange Bob, cause in ENG i haven't any trouble ... if there is a conflict i think that i should have the trouble also with the ENG ...

[Boofo]

Yes, I just checked it and it is doing something strange on my site, too. I will look into it and find the answer. Sit tight. ;)

Excellent mod. Is there any way to change what the greeting says? For example, instead of it saying having trouble sleeping, the greeting could say...party time!

Check the phrases. ;)

[need2fart]

Does this say Good morning, Good afternoon, and Good evening, depending on the time of the day?

[Boofo]

It says that and a lot more depending on the time of day. There are even a couple of surprises in there if you look close enough. Check out 6:15 PM and 11:00 PM. ;)

Nice update thanks https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/05/4.gif

Version 1.0.6 --Added CSS code so the username is now in the same color as the welcome greeting

I actually like having it a different color and boofo_uhg_fontcolor is not changing it?

It would be great to have an option.

Thanks for the update. Nice touch on the Birthday greeting.

[Boofo]

You need to go to that style variable in each style and click save for it to take affect. And make sure you copy the new code (in the first post AND the install text file) to the bottom of the additonal.css template.

[CharlieDelta]

Hey Boofo nice to see you working and improving your mods.

I use your mod here in conjuction with this one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=277561).
It worked well for me with my usergroup html markups.

Will your new additions affect the markup and the profile links? Maybe you could incorporate those other features then I only need one mod. ;):up:

[Boofo]

It will only affect the greeting and username. None of the other stuff in that line is touched, as far as color goes. I added the option to remove the "My Profile" link to this but you can enable/disable that in the settings.

[BaanFarsang]

"My Profile" is not remove after clicked yes to remove the "My Profile" link in header.

[Boofo]

Well, I guess that means either this mod is garbage, or you are using a custom style. Which one is it? ;)

[BaanFarsang]

Yes, I'm used 2 styles of RoyalFlush and TwistedDarkBlue from CompleteVB. These styles are not removed My Profile. But default style is removed My Profile.

[Boofo]

All my mods are done using the default style. It would be more trouble than it is worth to try and catch it on every custom style. You are going to have to go in and see where the line for that are (in which template) and what they are exactly (are they using the default line like in the defulat stysle?). Maybe then we can figure out how to add that.

[BaanFarsang]

I don't know how to fix what template.

[Boofo]

Well, find out which template it is in for each style and I will tell you.

[BaanFarsang]

I found and removed code of navbar template in RoyalFlush style.

<li><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}">{vb:rawphrase your_profile}</a></li>

[Boofo]

I will get another version out so the setting works for those custom styles that have that line in the navbar template instead of where it really belongs. Why the designers do stuff like that is beyond me. :confused:

[Boofo]

First post has been updated with the (hopefully) fixed version.

[Mr_Running]

You need to go to that style variable in each style and click save for it to take affect. And make sure you copy the new code (in the first post AND the install text file) to the bottom of the additional.css template.

It seems to do a very good job of keeping all the same color.
I do prefer to have the message a different color but it does not seem to take effect.

I am going to leave it as is...but thought I would just give an update. :)

[Boofo]

Commenting out the code you added the the additional.css template should leave the username at the default color. Let me know if that fixes it like you want.

[BaanFarsang]

I have been tested your mod can be removed "My profile" link of navbar template in RoyalFlush style.

<li><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}">{vb:rawphrase your_profile}</a></li>

[Boofo]

So it did fix it for you then?

[BaanFarsang]

So it did fix it for you then?

yes, Boofo and fixed for all site which used Royal Flush skin too.

[Boofo]

Then it will work for other styles that do it that way. Thanks for testing it.

[LLent]

I'll look into adding the ability to color the greeting line. It shouldn't be too hard at all.


that would be great to have that as an option very nice mod indeed good work as usual ....thank-you

[Boofo]

That was added quite a while ago. Read the first post and/or the install text file. ;)

[LLent]

That was added quite a while ago. Read the first post and/or the install text file. ;)


i installed your latest and there is no option in acp for color just your added code to css ....i probably mis understood ....this would be much better if you could add a color option in acp to make this universal is what i meant

[Boofo]

From the first post and install file:

5. Go to your Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> StyleVars (In the All Style Options drop-down) -> Boofo -> boofo_uhg_fontcolor
Enter the color code of the font color that you want the greeting to show up in. -- Default is #FFF099 (Because I'm too lazy to remember the default color for my own site.)

NOTE: You will need to do this for all styles.

[LLent]

yes i understand boofo to me this is pia doing each style i would like something more universal an option in the acp in the settings would be great

[Boofo]

I did it that way at fist but there were too many sites that had dark and light styles that wanted a separate style variable for the color so the colors would look right in each style.

[LLent]

I did it that way at fist but there were too many sites that had dark and light styles that wanted a separate style variable for the color so the colors would look right in each style.

could you give us that option to download each file i personally like it universal i would of loved it your orginal way or first way ... i have light and dark skins and would choose one color that looks best imo

and again love this mod you did an excellent job

[Boofo]

I don't have the old file. This is all I have now.
