Add-On Releases - Time Greeting (Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening, Username)

Credit goes to EnIgMa1234 for the original mod. Although he said no credit is needed, I still feel obliged to point it out :P

What does it do?

This is quite a simple mod I use which automatically changes the standard "Welcome, <Username>" phrase to "Good Morning/Afernoon/Evening, <Username>" depending on the time of day.

Installation/Upgrade Instructions

1. Import the Product. (Allow overwrite if upgrading)
2. You're done!






And finally, this is my first attempt at a release here, so go easy on me! I welcome any constructive criticizm of suggestions on how to improve this

Version History

0.05 - Initial Release
0.06 - Now compatible with Paul M's Display Unread Posts and New Reputation Comments mod.
0.08 - Updated to work with iBProArcade. Also no longer uses Javascript so will work on browsers with it disabled.
1.00 - Updated, now replaces the Phrase instead of template, allowing auto-replace to function even if the Welcome message is in a template other than navbar (Eg, header)

Known Issues

Because it goes off Server Time, this mod might not always be accurate for people in different time zones from the server. Unfortunately this isn't something I can fix.

nice hack, installed.

one thing I'd like to request you to add a global veriable like Nicer Greeting On NavBar did or make it like, it'd look in global templates for $vbphrase[welcome_x_link_y] not just in navbar templates only. I've a customize welcome panel in my forum homepage, where 'Welcome Nick' just disappear rather then replacing it.

thx

Good suggestion. I'll try and look at that when time permits.

So Kinneas,

The question is how to read the local computer time, is it not ?

You have on the user CPanel the Date&Time options for each user.

So if you can read that option and add or subtract, i think you will solve the problem.

It is just an idea though. I do not understand much php.

Greetings from Portugal,

It's not as easy as that, I'm afraid.

[killerkraft]

Eheheh,

I've told that my knowledge of php is very small.

It was just an ideia.

I haven't exactly done this, but the latest update should mean it works in places other than the navbar

I like the idea, nice job with it. I installed it on my forum, but it only works on the Default vBulletin skin. On all my other skins it doesn't show.

The main difference is probably that mine doesn't need any extra edits or modifications to be made once you've installed it. That mod looks pretty cool too though

I like this because it is very simple! Extra features mean extra queries in a lot of cases.

I will install later today!

Awesome Hack!
