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?

Why in another language are not displaying messages?

[Boofo]

Looks like the line has changed. Post the default line for that in the navbar template.

Do you have this hack installed by chance?

[Super Jinni]

hey, I have one request if possible

I like this hack but I don't want to be every several hours, I want to be every day. ^^

is there anyway to do that?

[Boofo]

Sure, but that would take making a whole new hack to do it.

you know, I like this one.. but I need the one I talked about it more than this, and I'm sure there is a lot of people will like it just like this one..

I think it worths making a new one beside this one..

and I think that won't take much time from you

thanks

I really like your work here

[Boofo]

It's not as easy as you think, I'm afraid. Not and have it work according to the user's timezone, anyway. I will look into it and see what I can figure out, but I am making no promises.

[Super Jinni]

I've looked for this.. and because I'm still under newbie level to php I didn't figure out how to edit it to make the sentences change only once a day..

I was thinking about removing some of the codes which they are related to the times of sentences changing..

so I thought it will be very easy if an expert like you do it

thanks for taking my request in consideration..

[Boofo]

Not easy, but doable, I suppose. Although I'm not sure why you would only want it to change each day.

[Super Jinni]

ok, I'll tell you why

I think my idea is a little different form yours in this hack

I want to to show members everyday a new sentence, like "saying, aphorism, advice, require, etc..."



got it?
