Nicer Greeting On NavBar · **Released**: 11-16-2005

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

14 hour difference...
do you have in account for dailight savings? Is it saying Good Afternoon as you are at 11:00 am, or a different time before 11:00 am?

Have you tried replacing the part in the xml file as in the second part of this?

The reason I'm asking is that I think for some reason its taking the server time and subtracting the server time (adding the -x) and then subtracting the timezone offset. I could have the formula wrong too, of course.

9:50pm -5 (GMT-5) = 4:50pm -5 (individual timezone GMT-5) = 11:50 am = "Good Morning" +/- daylight savings. Does that make sense?

Mine is doing this too...it dosen't appear to be reading the GMT time only the server/board time...are you willing to patch it so that it does GMT? :speechless:

if you are looking for a more permanent [non-dynamic] greeting, simply change the welcome_x prase [page 32 in global phrases] to something like "Yo, wessep {1}"

I tried this plugin as well, with bad results. I'm not knocking the script, it's a great idea! Once it's working properly, I'll certainly use it.

I'm wondering if a variable could be created out of current user time (the same time that displays the timestamp on the forums when someone posts). That would take out the guesswork on the formulas.
