Ultimate Header Greeting for vB 4
 

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.

Thanks tagged and will use later today.

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 ?

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

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.

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

the mod didnt change a thing other than the greeting :>
so its fine
was just saying what i would like

Go into the header and manually edit the color then? I didn't experience what you are mine stayed whit along with the rest of my text links up there.

Nice Boofo, installed.
