This changes the 'Welcome, $bbuserinfo[username]' message in your navbar to a greeting based on time of day. (Based on military time) It changes to:

From 0-11: 'Good Morning, $bbuserinfo[username]'
From 12-8: 'Good Afternoon, $bbuserinfo[username]'
From 8-11: 'Good Evening, $bbuserinfo[username]'

Small tweak, but nifty. :)

Edit: tweaked so it can work with all timezones. (thanks 4 help, Stefan)
Edit: Updated to use phrases, easier translation.
Edit: Updated (thx floris) to use a vboption for the server offset. Now all you have to add is the templates, don't need to change squat.

Nice mod! Thanks :D

Updated it, so it works on a time schedule user based, not server based. Thanks Stefan for helping me.

One additional question. I will run the board in english and german. This modification is in english only.

How can I create the needed phrases for other languages? Can you give me a short instruction?

As soon as I get home I'll 100% incorporate it into the phrase manager.

sounds like a nice simple feature :)

great mod :)

nice one :)

Nice modification. I think I'll use it. :)

Updated to use vbphrases.

Great Mod! Works very good!

This is not working for me...

I am in the US Eastern Time Zone which is -5 I put in -5 and it always tells me GOOD MORNING no matter what time of the day it is.

What should I put in for the time zone?

(BTW the server is also in the Eastern Time Zone)

Really good hack

Thanks man

I'm looking into this, scott. I'll fix it ASAP.

Kyle I just changed it from -5 to just 5 and it seems to be working correctly now.

Weird. but it works. :D

But thats a whole different timezone.. :o

Very nice tweak :)

But you could have used $vboptions[timeoffset] to get the time offset, since it is already set in the admin control panel :) This works in the navbar, I just checked.

Can't wait for the update, so I can include this on vbulletin.nl :)

Updated, see first post, last edit. :)

Scott, I fixed the error you were getting. Everything working perfectly now, removed two lines of code, changed a bit. Updated the .txt in firstpost.

Thank you for keeping this up to date :)

Hi,
I am new to this forum. When I click on the link to look at this file, I get a error message as follows:

Please help

I just read your link on downloading and it answered my previous post....sorry

Very Nice, Thanks Kyle
I installed the hack and it works great. I made one change. Instead of it saying 'good morning, USERNAME' it says 'good morning, 'FIRST NAME' by changing the $bbuserinfo[username] to $bbuserinfo[field15]

[field15] being the custom profile field for First Name, of course

simple but very useful hack.

Sounds super duper! I was just noticing yesterday how it greeted me here, and I said "Hey, that's nifty. I wonder ow Folirnator did that..."

Mucho Gracias!
