Nicer Greeting On NavBar

Ok i can't take too much credit for it, the original concept was by omgli3k back on the vb3 days i think and even then back at RC stages anyway as a thank you check out his site http://empathogen.net/

Onto the hack, this hack changes the greeting and it's all done automatically and sweetly. it takes your users timezone and gives a greeting dependant on that: "Good Morning, $username.", "Good Afternoon. $username." or "Good Evening, $username.".

shweet huh lol

ok without further ado here you go.

upload as a product.

Thanks again to omgli3k for leading the way on this one

Hi!

I installed it, I like it. But.. It doesn't seem to work very well. At about 11 am it says 'good afternoon' and it says already 'good evening' at , about, 4 pm..

So it doesn't fits with the time. Is this a setting to be made?

Is your sever time different than your board's time? If so, you'll need to compensate +/- 1 or 2 hours depending on the time difference.

No it isn't. The server and the board are both on GMT+1, DTS automatic.
But I'll check the server time, just to be sure.

One reason I ask is that one time I noticed that my server time was reporting a 2 hour difference although they were both located in the same room. Another time I had a 1 hour difference before that because the server was located in Canada (GMT-5) and I was in central US (GMT-6).

Look:

Good Evening, Eagle Creek.
All times are GMT +1. The time now is 17:11.

In my opinion you start to say evening when it's + 6.PM//18.00 hour.

What do you have in your xml file? Can you paste that here?

What do I have to post exactly?

// Nicer Greeting On NavBar

$ng_tz_serveroffset = $vbulletin->options['timeoffset'];
$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];

$ng_hour = date('G');
$ng_now = bcadd($ng_hour, $ng_tz_serveroffset);
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_now, $ng_tz_useroffset);

$ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodevening] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";

if ($ng_result < 18)
{
$ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodafternoon] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";
}

if ($ng_result < 12)
{
$ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodmorning] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";
}

on the line: $ng_hour = date('G');

try changing it to: $ng_hour = date('G') - 1;

Edited - went wrong direction.
