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?

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 --Initial release for vB3.7
Version 1.0.2 --Added 'Real Name' profile field instructions for those wanting to make this even more personal.
Version 1.0.3 --Added setting to do the automatic template replace for the Ultimate Greeting. Also added setting for links on top of navbar.

How much time you got? It can hold as many as you want. 60 and hour and times that by 24 hours and you get 1440, but I don't think I'd stretch it that far. Too much change can be as bad as not enough change.

I'm not as stupid as I look .. edits were quite simple. Mmmm, reminds me of my ex

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

From what I understand, it's like military time. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyways, I made it this:

PHP Code:

if ($navbar_localtime < '24:00') {
$vbphrase[ung_line] = $vbphrase[ung_morning];
$vbphrase[ung_punctuation] = $vbphrase[ung_period];
} elseif ($navbar_localtime < '12:00') {
$vbphrase[ung_line] = $vbphrase[ung_afternoon];
$vbphrase[ung_punctuation] = $vbphrase[ung_period];
} elseif ($navbar_localtime < '18:00') {
$vbphrase[ung_line] = $vbphrase[ung_evening];
$vbphrase[ung_punctuation] = $vbphrase[ung_period];
} 


I did those changes, uploaded/overwrote my previous file, and like the previous time, I now have no name in the navbar after doing the template edits. It simply shows this:

Use this as you had the times wrong.

if ($navbar_localtime < '12:00') {
$vbphrase[ung_line] = $vbphrase[ung_morning];
$vbphrase[ung_punctuation] = $vbphrase[ung_period];
} elseif ($navbar_localtime < '18:00') {
$vbphrase[ung_line] = $vbphrase[ung_afternoon];
$vbphrase[ung_punctuation] = $vbphrase[ung_period];
} elseif ($navbar_localtime < '24:00') {
$vbphrase[ung_line] = $vbphrase[ung_evening];
$vbphrase[ung_punctuation] = $vbphrase[ung_period];
}

Are you running Paul M's Unread Posts and Reputation hack? Is so, the first post has the fix for it at the bottom.
