Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7
 

Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7
Version 1.0.5
(By Boofo and Pam)

What does this product do?
This product will add an ultimate greeting to the navbar set to each member's local time. You can also use the real first name of the member instead of their username if you have a real name profile field added. This will also add a row of links to the top of the navbar. You can also set the 'Remember Me' login checkbox to automatically checked.

Below is a list of times and lines for each greeting.

12:00 am - 1:59 am - Up late, aren't we, Pam?
2:00 am - 3:59 am - Having trouble sleeping, Pam?
4:00 am - 5:29 am - Still can't sleep, Pam?
5:39 am - 6:59 am - Aren't you the early bird, Pam?
7:00 am - 11:59 am - Good Morning, Pam.
12:00 pm - 12:59 pm - Enjoying your lunch break, Pam?
1: 00 pm - 4:59 pm - Good Afternoon, Pam.
5:00 pm - 5:59 pm - What's for dinner, Pam?
6:00 pm - 9:59 pm - Good Evening, Pam.
10:00 pm - 11:59 pm - Shouldn't you be going to bed soon, Pam?

These following are added to run at the specified time only for one minute.

6:15 pm = Got milk, Pam?
11:00 pm = It's 11 o'clock, do you know where your children are, Pam?

Thanks Bofo

[high]* Brandon Sheley clicks install[/high]

You're every welcome, sir. ;)

Looks very nice... I might just add this.

Make sure to click install if you do in case it is updated.

I like this! Is there anyway to edit what gets said? Like if I wanted to add..."Are we addicted?..or something else?

NM..looked at the XML its time specified. Still..great little mod. Thanks!

Cool! I'll be replacing the one I have with this one. :)

Boofo, you gave me much too much credit...but it was fun to help out!

*clicks install*

:D

You can edit the xml to add your own lines and times. ;)

If it wasn't for you, I might have gotten strung up for some of the lines I wanted to put in there. ;)

vauuww you are crazy man I love youu :D:up:

This is realy fun to have it on.... thx Boofo, your the man m8.

[sarcasm]absolutely agreed!!! :D[/sarcasm]

LOL!

Let's say I got 50 fun facts about my site... how can I ramdomly display them with your system?

btw... great mod :D

Great mod. You have made some great work Boofo.

Thanks Boofo .. great idea .. clicked install
Always knew you'd be useful one day :D

I sure hope that day gets here soon. :(

You're very welcome, but don't forget to thank Pam. ;)

I was wondering why this was replied to so often and why this "boring" (by looking at the thread title only) mod received good ratings. Now I know. Great mod!

Sometimes it's the simple things that are the best. ;)

Would this work on 3.6.4?

This is great, but one question.

I'd rather have three greetings -- Good morning, Chase., Good afternoon, Chase., and Good evening, Chase.

I'd rather have something a bit more professional. Would this be hard to do?

Boofo,

I know nothing about coding, but I took a shot at editing the .xml file. Can you tell me if I'm going to experience any problems using the attached code? It's the same, except I removed every statement besides the one I previously mentioned and the "if" statements.

Thank you. :)

very nice :) thank you.

Code change seems to remove the "Number of unread posts" since last visit. had to remove this hack as my members like to click the unread posts link to check new posts.

hmmm Didn't do that on mine.

I love love love it!!

Then you messed up the template edit as there is no possible way this touches anything esle but that one line. Check your edits.

Yes, that will work, but you will have it saying good morning from 10 PM tp 12 Noon. Change the 22:00 to 24:00 and that should correct it. ;)

I would have just commented out what you didn't want in case you wanted to change or re-add it later on.

And it won't as he made a mistake in the template edit and replaced the wrong line. ;)

Why do I have the feeling that I just gave you a loaded gun? ;)

Just edit Unread Posts and Reputation (2) in your plugin manager.

with this

Actually if your using PaulM's script.. It injects on the [welcome_x_link_y] and you'll need to change to [ung_greeting] in the plugin manager for his Unread post mod..

Thanks. I added the link to your post with the changes in the fisrt post. ;)

Becuz you know me way too well.............. ?? ;)

That I do. I figured it anyone would pick up on it, you would. Have fun with it as I know only you can. ;)

Oh I shall babe, I definitely shall ;)

You crack me up! LOL

heheh - how many new "sayings" will this thing hold, and can more be added? If so, where?
