Nexia's Welcome Message by the Hour
 

Will replace the boring "Welcome, nexia." with something customized by the hour. You can edit each phrase to fit your fun.

as you see in the screenshot, the phrase "fit" the moment of the day, and when you hover the entire line, you now see what time it is when you load the page, instead of having to go to the footer to read it.
.. take note that "nexia" is replaced by your members name...

nex_welcome_x_link_y_00 => Browsing by midnight, nexia?
nex_welcome_x_link_y_01 => Look, it's dark outside, nexia!
nex_welcome_x_link_y_02 => nexia, don't you think it's time for bed?

nex_welcome_x_link_y_23 => Unable to sleep, nexia?

these phrases are the one used by the engine, without any template edit, any function added, it's a simple replacement, and it works on the fly, so you do not have to bother if the user see the right sentence for its hour of browsing.

note: september 24th, 2009: debug of the date function to display in other languages. vbdate() was replaced by date() so the sentence is ok. Just import the product again.

october 6th, 2009: another fix regarding the date, dropped the "local" call so any language is supposed to display at the right time...


this version works for all versions from vB 3.6 until now, since it's a very very simply hack without code edition...

Most excellent! :)

Installed Thanks, rated 5

Have a Mod doing this already but this having the options to add your own Message makes it much better!

Thanks great Work

Haha, nice!

Thanks for the update, my members gonna love this :)

Agreed. Thanks for this. Installed/Voted

You can do the same thing in the other one. All you have to do is edit the phrase, just like you would have to with this one.

hum, people, if you need support with "the other one", please do in its own thread... thanks Boofo for the info!

i'm not releasing this plugin to compete "the other one"... i just update tools that i released years ago that could still be useful in vB 4.x... this one was not edited a single bit, it's the same code for 6 years, so imagine, vBulletin did not change that much hey!

Is there something that needs to be set or installed more? I don't see these welcome messages (when I unhid'em), I've installed only the biggest xml in the package.
