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?

Would not display, checked the navbar, and did not see any issues, unless I'm blind.

[Boofo]

Did you set the settings?

[odln018]

Yes sir

[Boofo]

Then either you have a skin that is different or a hack that has changed the line it searches for. Either one can be fixed to work with this.

It works, it really does. I swear it does. Please believe me?

Haven't got the default unfortunatly, only the custom skin as the other one was deleted. I'm running 3.7.0.

[Boofo]

PM me a link to your site and I will take a look.

I LOVE this!!! I am gonna have even more fun w/it when I know how to edit the XML file to say what I want it to say. (I wanna add stuff!)

Okay, I think I have enough sense to add things to the first part of the file (below).

$vbphrase[ung_punctuation] = $vbphrase[ung_question];
} elseif ($navbar_localtime < '04:00') {

But, don't I also have to add code at the bottom of the page where you see stuff like:

<phrase name="ung_dinner" date="1204846288" username="Boofo" version=""><![CDATA[What's for dinner]]></phrase>

If I have to add code to the bottom of the page, how do I know what numbers to use in the "date" section of the code above?

[Boofo]

You can just do date="". It doesn't need to be filled in. What I usually do is install the hack and then go in and edit the code and phrases so I can test is as I edit it. If you come up with any good ones, post them here and I will think about adding them.

Thanks! I'm gonna have a ball with this, lol. I'm thinking of adding some really corny, hokey stuff like "Where's the beef" ("famous" phrases), and then some of my own. My members don't know I'm doing this, so when I add something new, they're like "WTH?"! GREAT hack. Simple, but one of my favs. You rock!

[wickedstangs]

nice Mod. I install this mod and other mods I installed were'nt working properly and now they are fixed
