Nicer Greeting On NavBar · **Released**: 11-16-2005

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

I have fixed it - at least on my site

PHP Code:


			
// Nicer Greeting On NavBar

$ng_gmt = date('G') + 6; // add  + or - and the difference between the server and GMT.  My time zone is GMT-6 so I add 6

$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];
$ng_result = bcadd($ng_gmt, $ng_tz_useroffset);

if($ng_result < 12){
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodmorning] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";
    } elseif($ng_result < 18){
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodafternoon] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";
    } else {
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodevening] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".</strong>";
    }

Does this also solve the bcadd error christian?

davidw · #54 11-22-2005, 08:28 PM

bcadd is php(server) related issue. I think a suitable workaround might be (offhand since I haven't tried it)...

PHP Code:


			
// Nicer Greeting On NavBar

$ng_gmt = date('G') + 6; // add  + or - and the difference between the server and GMT.  My time zone is GMT-6 so I add 6

$ng_tz_useroffset = $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'];
// $ng_result = bcadd($ng_gmt, $ng_tz_useroffset); Replace this with:
$ng_result = $ng_gmt + $ng_tz_useroffset;

if($ng_result < 12){
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodmorning] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".";
    } elseif($ng_result < 18){
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodafternoon] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".";
    } else {
        $ng_greeting = "<strong>" . $vbphrase[ng_goodevening] . " " . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . ".";
    }

Glad to have helped - I hope you don't mind sabert00th

sabret00the · #59 11-23-2005, 01:33 PM

not at all, i'm just leaving you to it

spongebobrox128 · #60 11-23-2005, 02:15 PM

There is another solution besides adding the timezone offset to make it GMT. Look-up the function gmdate(); gmdate() gives you the time in GMT rather than in the server time. From the Vizionz' XML, replace

PHP Code:


			
$ng_gmt = date('G') + 6; // add  + or - and the difference between the server and GMT.  My time zone is GMT-6 so I add 6

with

PHP Code:


			
$ng_gmt = gmdate('G'); #get the time in GMT

and it should work just as fine as adding the timezone offset to the time.

Weel, I liked the idea and clicked install but do not care to edit files to compensate for my time zone when others may have same issue just so it stops saying goodmorning even though it is 4:20 pm here.
I have to click uninstall and wait for a more complete mod. Sorry.
