Miscellaneous Hacks - Time Based Greeting

A small mod which will change the default greeting (Welcome) to one based upon the time of day.

This mod is based upon:
* Time Greeting (Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening, Username) by Kinneas
* Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7 by Boofo

I updated Kinneas' mod for vb4 and added a few extra greetings based upon Boofo's mod.
Everything uses phrases (xxx_x_link_y).

Current Time & Phrase list:

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

This mod uses the server time, not the user's time zone offset. Boofo has released his Ultimate Navbar greeting for vb4 which corrects this very issue. You can find it here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=244573

Like Dragonsys said, this is based on the server time. There is no way around that as all users will see what the server time is set up for, no matter where they are from.

Correct. This is not affected by vBulletin Time or what timezone the user has selected.
