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

Well Amy as suspected......
I worked like a Charm!
A nice Welcome Back & Good Morning, CP was there to say hello this morning to me!
*Is there a addition you could add to include knowing what day of the week it is for the user as well? This way, it would display things like T.G.I.F for Fridays, and Happy Hump Day for Wednesdays, and Monday morning back to work, and Saturday time to play, etc?

[amykhar]

That's easy. You would just need to do a

$ng_day = date('l',$ng_time);

After the

$ng_result = date('G',$ng_time);

and use

$ng_day

in the template.

Thanks very much for the reply and how to but I better wait for the pros to do that modification with the xml as I am excellent at screwing things up and terrible at implimenting.
I do have a question Amy, my navbar shows Good Afternoon, CP and the time now is 05:35 PM. Shouldn't the 5 pm time turn it to Good Evening?

[C_P]

6 pm looks like when evening announcement kicks in..

In the install it says:

					<div style="padding: 0.5em;" nowrap="nowrap">
						$ng_greeting<br />

But all I can find thats similar is:

		<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
		<div class="smallfont">
			<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

Any ideas?? Thanks!
