Nicer Greeting On NavBar

Ok i can't take too much credit for it, the original concept was by omgli3k back on the vb3 days i think and even then back at RC stages :o anyway as a thank you check out his site http://empathogen.net/

Onto the hack, this hack changes the greeting and it's all done automatically and sweetly. it takes your users timezone and gives a greeting dependant on that: "Good Morning, $username.", "Good Afternoon. $username." or "Good Evening, $username.".

shweet huh ;) lol

ok without further ado here you go.

upload as a product.

Thanks again to omgli3k for leading the way on this one :)

PHP Version 5.0.5

sabret00the

11-17-2005 10:56 AM

ouch at php5

ok could you try this

make a php file (that's just a text file with a .php extention instead) with the contents being this

PHP Code:


		
			
<php



$ng_hour = date('G');

$ng_now = bcadd($ng_hour, 4);

$ng_result = bcadd($ng_now, 5); 



?>

upload it and run it and tell me if you still get the undefined function error please.

edit: heh i just noticed i'm running 5.0.4 on my localhost and it works there :(

Great hack, used to use this on my old VB3.0.1 way back when.

However, I found that i had to change a line in the code to keep the font smaller on the navbar. I changed this

HTML Code:

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

to this

HTML Code:

<div class="smallfont">

this was in VB 3.5.1 I dunno if it's because of another hack I already have installed or not, but using the origional code blew out the small font and made it normal sized.

sabret00the

11-17-2005 03:18 PM

i would suggest

HTML Code:

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

No error now but it's strange...when viewing the source code it shows exactly the php code in it. I'll wait, maybe you'll find a way to let this work. ;)

What is the time cut off for saying good evening?

My server is in London, I'm on GMT at 11:10pm and set my profile to 12 hours in advance making it 11.10am and it still said good evening.

However it worked fine when I went backwards 12 hours

One thing that doesn't make sense to me...

PHP Code:


		
			
$ng_tz_serveroffset = $vbulletin->options['timeoffset'];
$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];

$ng_hour = date('G');
$ng_now = bcadd($ng_hour, $ng_serveroffset);
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_now, $ng_tz_useroffset);

in the first line of code: $ng_tz_serveroffset
in the fourth (or fifth depending on if you count the blank line): $ng_serveroffset

It seems sabe has made a typo :)

Try replacing that variable that christianb reported and see if that may fix your error - As for a call to an undefined function, not sure how that could be corrected :ermm:

not sure why that'd happen, it works across several directories on my localhost, though it's untested above the forums directory.

Thank you for your fast reply. I will have a look at the vBa templates later tonight, maybe I can find the variable to replace there.

If I get a chance this morning, I may break the code and see what I can do.

PHP Code:


		
			
<phrase name="ng_goodevening"><![CDATA[Good Evening,]]></phrase>

Should have a space after Evening,

PHP Code:


		
			
<phrase name="ng_goodevening"><![CDATA[Good Evening, ]]></phrase>

Also, would something like this work?

PHP Code:


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

I just woke up about 30 mins ago, so please bare with me :P

What time was it when you saw the greeting?

davidw

11-18-2005 03:56 PM

This * might * fix it:
Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$ng_tz_serveroffset = $vbulletin->options['timeoffset'];
$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];

$ng_hour = date('G');
$ng_now = bcadd($ng_hour, $ng_tz_serveroffset);
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_now, $ng_tz_useroffset);

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
$ng_date = date("G");
$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_date, $ng_tz_useroffset);

This is what I have from working on it:

PHP Code:


		
			
$ng_date = date("G");
$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_date, $ng_tz_useroffset);

$ng_greeting = "ERROR";

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>";
}

Here's my latest edits (in case someone else wants to try it):

I've somewhat modified the instructions:

first off go to your navbar template and find:
==============================================
<div style="padding: 0.5em;" nowrap="nowrap">
<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
==============================================

and replace that with
<div style="padding: 0.5em;" nowrap="nowrap">
<strong>$ng_greeting</strong><br />

PHP Code:


		
			
    <plugins>
        <plugin active="1">
            <title>Nicer Greeting On NavBar</title>
            <hookname>global_start</hookname>
            <phpcode><![CDATA[// Nicer Greeting On NavBar

$ng_date = date("G");
$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_date, $ng_tz_useroffset);

$ng_greeting = "ERROR";

if($ng_result < 12){
    $ng_greeting = "<phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">" . $vbphrase[ng_goodmorning] . " . </phrase>";
} elseif($ng_result < 18){
    $ng_greeting = "<phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">" . $vbphrase[ng_goodafternoon] . " . </phrase>";
}else {
    $ng_greeting = "<phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">" . $vbphrase[ng_goodevening] . " . </phrase>";
}
// Nicer Greeting On NavBar
]]></phpcode>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
    <phrases>
        <phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">
            <phrase name="ng_goodafternoon"><![CDATA[Good Afternoon, {1}]]></phrase>
            <phrase name="ng_goodevening"><![CDATA[Good Evening, {1}]]></phrase>
            <phrase name="ng_goodmorning"><![CDATA[Good Morning, {1}]]></phrase>
        </phrasetype>
    </phrases>

Edit: forgot semicolon after "ERROR"

nice work, christianb, i'll look that over as soon as i get a chance.

as for people with the bcadd() problem. ask your host to enable bcmath in your configuration.

you can check if it's enabled or not via your phpinfo.

Vizionz

11-18-2005 11:45 PM

still getting the error after Techs has installed php-bcmath-5.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm on your server.

davidw

11-19-2005 12:51 AM

just a thought on the bcadd issue...

replacing this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_date, $ng_tz_useroffset);

with this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$ng_result = $ng_date + $ng_tz_useroffset;

(old php stuff might work here, may not work - I haven't tried it)

Edit (forgot to remove ")")

Where is the server in location to your website? If it is in a different time zone, this will have to be taken into consideration.
