14 hour difference...
do you have in account for dailight savings? Is it saying Good Afternoon as you are at 11:00 am, or a different time before 11:00 am?

Have you tried replacing the part in the xml file as in the second part of this?

The reason I'm asking is that I think for some reason its taking the server time and subtracting the server time (adding the -x) and then subtracting the timezone offset. I could have the formula wrong too, of course.

9:50pm -5 (GMT-5) = 4:50pm -5 (individual timezone GMT-5) = 11:50 am = "Good Morning" +/- daylight savings. Does that make sense?

Mine is doing this too...it dosen't appear to be reading the GMT time only the server/board time...are you willing to patch it so that it does GMT? :speechless:

if you are looking for a more permanent [non-dynamic] greeting, simply change the welcome_x prase [page 32 in global phrases] to something like "Yo, wessep {1}"

I tried this plugin as well, with bad results. I'm not knocking the script, it's a great idea! Once it's working properly, I'll certainly use it.

I'm wondering if a variable could be created out of current user time (the same time that displays the timestamp on the forums when someone posts). That would take out the guesswork on the formulas.

I have fixed it - at least on my site

PHP Code:


		
			
// Nicer Greeting On NavBar

$ng_gmt = date('G') + 6; // add  + or - and the difference between the server and GMT.  My time zone is GMT-6 so I add 6

$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_gmt, $ng_tz_useroffset);

if($ng_result < 12){
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodmorning] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";
    } elseif($ng_result < 18){
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodafternoon] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";
    } else {
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodevening] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";
    }

Does this also solve the bcadd error christian?

davidw

11-22-2005 08:28 PM

bcadd is php(server) related issue. I think a suitable workaround might be (offhand since I haven't tried it)...

PHP Code:


		
			
// Nicer Greeting On NavBar

$ng_gmt = date('G') + 6; // add  + or - and the difference between the server and GMT.  My time zone is GMT-6 so I add 6

$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];
// $ng_result = bcadd($ng_gmt, $ng_tz_useroffset); Replace this with:
$ng_result = $ng_gmt + $ng_tz_useroffset;

if($ng_result < 12){
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodmorning] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".";
    } elseif($ng_result < 18){
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodafternoon] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".";
    } else {
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodevening] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".";
    }

There is another solution besides adding the timezone offset to make it GMT. Look-up the function gmdate(); gmdate() gives you the time in GMT rather than in the server time. From the Vizionz' XML, replace

PHP Code:


		
			
$ng_gmt = date('G') + 6; // add  + or - and the difference between the server and GMT.  My time zone is GMT-6 so I add 6

with

PHP Code:


		
			
$ng_gmt = gmdate('G'); #get the time in GMT

and it should work just as fine as adding the timezone offset to the time. :)

C_P	11-23-2005 10:20 PM

Weel, I liked the idea and clicked install but do not care to edit files to compensate for my time zone when others may have same issue just so it stops saying goodmorning even though it is 4:20 pm here.
I have to click uninstall and wait for a more complete mod. Sorry.

Vizionz

11-23-2005 10:25 PM

well damn did you ever run version 3 or below :( that little edit is nothing

C_P	11-23-2005 10:29 PM

I just installed today/this morning and it still shows goodmorning.
I have no idea what to edit and where at this point there are so many try this in the thread I got lost.

Vizionz

11-23-2005 10:32 PM

did you have the bcad error at all ?

C_P	11-23-2005 10:33 PM

nope

Vizionz

11-23-2005 10:39 PM

try this xml file

C_P	11-23-2005 10:45 PM

Wit no additional file edits correct? Other than the template navbar change :

Code:

replace that with

                                        <div style="padding: 0.5em;" nowrap="nowrap">

                                                $ng_greeting<br

Correct?

Vizionz

11-23-2005 10:46 PM

yeah no edits i did the edit for ya just do the navbar edit

C_P	11-23-2005 10:49 PM

I just added it and it shows "Good Morning, CP." It is 4:50 pm here....

Vizionz

11-23-2005 10:52 PM

try this one

Vizionz

11-23-2005 10:54 PM

remember to overwrite the product

C_P	11-23-2005 10:54 PM

I thank you much for trying but I just uninstalled the last one, and reinstalled this one, selecting to OVERWRITE, I hit refresh on my home page and:
Good Morning, CP. still.

C_P	11-23-2005 10:59 PM

FYI, at the bottom of my board it shows:
All times are GMT -8. The time now is 04:57 PM.

Vizionz

11-23-2005 11:02 PM

one last try if this one dont say good afternoon or good evening i give up and just uninstall till someone figures it out :P

Vizionz

11-23-2005 11:05 PM

i added this one to +8

$ng_gmt = date('G') + 6; // add + or - and the difference between the server and GMT. My time zone is GMT-6 so I add 6

in the one i just attached it was +12 to just make sure it changed

Vizionz

11-23-2005 11:05 PM

so if neither of them work i give up and uninstall it till someone else can figure it out :) i tried hehe

C_P	11-23-2005 11:06 PM

I sincerely appreciate you trying, but after an uninstall of the last one, and a new upload of this one allowing overwrite: Good Morning, CP.
How frustrating. Could it be our board refresh rate or something?

C_P	11-23-2005 11:08 PM

Wait, you uploaded another as I was posting. Let me try the + one you just added

Vizionz

11-23-2005 11:12 PM

also do you have your time zone in your user cp the same as in your boards admin area

C_P	11-23-2005 11:14 PM

I just tried latest and same issue. My user CP shows GMT -8 and my board CP shows GMT -8

Vizionz

11-23-2005 11:16 PM

okay its a negative so maybe me adding aa plus is messing it up one last try

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:38 AM.
