Miscellaneous Hacks - Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7

Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7
Version 1.0.5
(By Boofo and Pam)

What does this product do?
This product will add an ultimate greeting to the navbar set to each member's local time. You can also use the real first name of the member instead of their username if you have a real name profile field added. This will also add a row of links to the top of the navbar. You can also set the 'Remember Me' login checkbox to automatically checked.

Below is a list of times and lines for each greeting.

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

These following are added to run at the specified time only for one minute.

6:15 pm = Got milk, Pam?
11:00 pm = It's 11 o'clock, do you know where your children are, Pam?

I was wondering why this was replied to so often and why this "boring" (by looking at the thread title only) mod received good ratings. Now I know. Great mod!

Sometimes it's the simple things that are the best.

Would this work on 3.6.4?

[youradhere4222]

This is great, but one question.

I'd rather have three greetings -- Good morning, Chase., Good afternoon, Chase., and Good evening, Chase.

I'd rather have something a bit more professional. Would this be hard to do?

Boofo,

I know nothing about coding, but I took a shot at editing the .xml file. Can you tell me if I'm going to experience any problems using the attached code? It's the same, except I removed every statement besides the one I previously mentioned and the "if" statements.

Thank you.

[KingPin6]

very nice thank you.

Code change seems to remove the "Number of unread posts" since last visit. had to remove this hack as my members like to click the unread posts link to check new posts.

[Romeos Tune]

hmmm Didn't do that on mine.

[Ohiosweetheart]

I love love love it!!

Then you messed up the template edit as there is no possible way this touches anything esle but that one line. Check your edits.
