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

Edited - went wrong direction.

So do I have to change this? Or is this wrong?

Try changing it to $ng_hour = date('G') - 1; and see if that works.

Originally I wrote + instead of -.

Guess not..

I'm thinking something here.

Can you paste here what code is listed where it says:

Good Afternoon, Eagle Creek.
All times are GMT +1. The time now is 11:48.

I want to see what actual code provides this statement.

I don't understand? What code do I have to post?
The source from my webbrowser?

It's located in your navbar template. For example, the instructions suggest to replace a certain part of your navbar template with this code:

<div style="padding: 0.5em;" nowrap="nowrap">
						$ng_greeting<br />

- I need to know what is listed 1-2 lines before and after that in the template.

	<if condition="$show['member']">
	
		<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
		<div class="smallfont">
			$ng_greeting<br />
			<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
			<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
		</div>
