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.

Ok, iv created a MEMBER BAR with permissioned members only example

members can see different things to what admins can see

is there anyway to use the varaibles for this hack to put on the memberbar iv created

like on mine it says WELCOME BLAHBLAH

i want it to say Goodmorning/afternoon/evening BLAHBLAH depending on the time...
is that possible please reply

Seems to be working. What time is classified as evening?

This is interfering with the "Linear - Newest First" option in "Edit Options". When this modfication is in effect, and you have Newest First selected, then it goes to the last post. Any chance for a fix?

Erm, I'm not entirely sure what you mean as I don't think I've ever used that display mode myself. What behaviour would you expect? As I see no differece on my test forum with the mod enabled or disabled.

Well depending on how you have set this member bar up It could work. Try including the phrase "$vbphrase[welcome_x_link_y]" as this mod essentially just replaces that phrase with the Good Morning/Afternoon etc one.

Hi,

I installed this. In Standard mode it will work fine. But ..

In my mode there is no welcome box in my navbar. My welcome box is in the vbcms-module called "portalloginbox".

How can I get this greetings right there ? In vb-germany I could not get an answer.
