What this does is greet you by the time of day instead of saying "You are logged on as, so and so". It'll say "Good Morning, {your membername}" if it's morning where you're at, "Good Afternoon," or "Good Evening." pretty simple to install and use.
demo: http://www.calvsa.net/snitz/
gotta be logged in to see it though.
below this in inc_top.asp:
function openWindow4(url) {
popupWin = window.open(url,'new_page','width=400,height=525')
}
ADD:
function getGreeting() {
now = new Date();
theHour = now.getHours();
if (theHour < 12) { greeting = 'Good Morning'; }
else if (theHour < 17) { greeting = 'Good Afternoon'; }
else { greeting = 'Good Evening'; }
document.write(greeting);
}
Change this (also in inc_top.asp):
You are logged on as<br>
to
<script language="javascript">
getGreeting()
</script>,<br>
that's all.

what color do you want to change it to? a specific color or one of the forum's color variables?

In the following tag that is right before where you inserted the code that Alan posted:
<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
change it to:
<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>" color="yellow">
Or were you wanting the greeting to be a different color than the Username? |

From what I've tested it only pulls the time from the server. I also have the time zone mod installed.

it seems it is working with the local times, since it is a client-side code.

blankand white is right, this is client-side javascript so runs on the client's browser and not the server.

Your welcome guys . Made my day.
Hey i was thinking, There's only 3 time of day states right now for greeting:
Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Evening. I was thinking of add more states. Like if they're on at from 12-4 am say, "Burning the midnight oil?" and like from 4-7am greet by saying, "Morning, early bird" etc. what do you guys think? any other suggestions for greetings??

The 12-4am midnight oil state in particular is a great idea and makes more sense than 'good morning' although technically speaking obviously it is morning
I am Guildmaster for a Guild that plays the on-line roleplaying game 'Ultima Online', and I use Snitz as our Guild's Discussion Forum's (although it's becoming so much more now). I have customised the greetings with roleplaying speak eg...
Hail and Good Evening to thee (Member Name)
One interesting idea I thought if you were to develop this mod/addon any further was perhaps to have a set of random greetings. Following the above example.. the Hail, could either be Hail, Greetings, Well Met, Welcome back, How art thee? etc... you get the general idea.
I guess not high on the priority list  , but it would rock for me .
Keep up the good work.

You could maybe even add it into the admin section so the forum admin could change the greetings to suit?
