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?

Thank you.

Yes, that will work, but you will have it saying good morning from 10 PM tp 12 Noon. Change the 22:00 to 24:00 and that should correct it.

I would have just commented out what you didn't want in case you wanted to change or re-add it later on.

And it won't as he made a mistake in the template edit and replaced the wrong line.

Just edit Unread Posts and Reputation (2) in your plugin manager.

 
$vbphrase['welcome_x_link_y'] .= '</strong><br />'.$unread.'<strong>';

with this

 
$vbphrase['ung_greeting'] .= '</strong><br />'.$unread.'<strong>';

Actually if your using PaulM's script.. It injects on the [welcome_x_link_y] and you'll need to change to [ung_greeting] in the plugin manager for his Unread post mod..
