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?

does this work with the timezone mod, i.e. show local time of the users'?

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?
