I feel that saying "Good Evening" or even "Good Night" isn't appropriate for the hours between 12:00am and 05:00am, because: "Good evening" shouldn't refer to the early AM hours - that's simply not etymologically correct. If someone logs in to your forum at 1:00 am and you tell them "Good night!" it sounds like you're telling them to have a good night's sleep, as people normally say before they go to bed and close down for the day. I prefer a more welcoming term for the early AM caffeine-empowered individuals. 12-5am is a period I prefer to tell people "Good Early Morning"!

So I took the liberty of editing this hack so that it reads "Good Early Morning, Username", in which 'Username' will link to the member/users' profile page.

3-STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Upload the file product_goodmorning_welcome_v2.xml to your /includes/xml/ directory.

2) Go to your AdminCP / Manage Products / and click "Add/Import Product", and Import the XML File from your server, enter: ./includes/xml/product_goodmorning_welcome_v2.xml

and click import. Be sure to select "allow overwrite" if you have already installed this product.

3) Template Edit:

Go to AdminCP / Style Manager / Edit Templates (from the drop-down menu) / Navigation Breadcrumb Templates / navbar

Edit the "navbar" template

Find (for 3.6 and maybe 3.7 vbulletin versions):

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong>

OR if you are using a later 3.7 or 3.8 version of vbulletin, find this instead:

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[welcome_x_link_y]</phrase></strong><br />

and Replace with:

<!-- START Welcome User Edit -->
<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]"><script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date()
var time = d.getHours()
if (time>=0 && time<=5)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodearlymorning_x]</b>")
}
else if (time>=5 && time<12)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodmorning_x]</b>")
}
else if (time>=12 && time<18)
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodafternoon_x]</b>")
}
else
{
document.write("<b>$vbphrase[goodevening_x]</b>")
}
</script></phrase></strong><br />

<!-- END Welcome User Edit -->

Done!

I have tested this hack on vb 3.6.x, 3.7.x, and am currently running it on vb3.8 BETA - it works on all of these. Enjoy!
