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

wheres your server?
what's the server offset?

ok could you try this

make a php file (that's just a text file with a .php extention instead) with the contents being this

PHP Code:

<php

$ng_hour = date('G');
$ng_now = bcadd($ng_hour, 4);
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_now, 5); 

?> 


upload it and run it and tell me if you still get the undefined function error please.

edit: heh i just noticed i'm running 5.0.4 on my localhost and it works there

No error now but it's strange...when viewing the source code it shows exactly the php code in it. I'll wait, maybe you'll find a way to let this work.

What is the time cut off for saying good evening?

My server is in London, I'm on GMT at 11:10pm and set my profile to 12 hours in advance making it 11.10am and it still said good evening.

However it worked fine when I went backwards 12 hours

Me too ... regrettably as it's a nice idea.

One thing that doesn't make sense to me...

PHP Code:

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

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


in the first line of code: $ng_tz_serveroffset
in the fourth (or fifth depending on if you count the blank line): $ng_serveroffset
