Greetings: Birthday, Holiday, Time of Day

[technodragon73]

You're welcome...this is a much better version of a greeting than the one I had.  Originally I could greet users with the time of day, or on their birthday...but I love the fact that I can do the holidays now too!  Awesome job!

Thank you -- and thanks to Aku, too.

It was one of those things that was running around in my brain for several days and wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it.

I seem to be getting this error

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: greeting() in /home/eaglebay/public_html/newforum/Sources/Load.php(1613) : eval()'d code on line 306


No matter where I put this

Code Select Expand

echo'
      <br />',greeting(),', <br />'.$context['user']['name'],'<br />';

did you upload the two files he had in the first post?  And did you add the require_once command as well?

All files uploaded. Must have missed the add the require_once command.

Thanks

That did not work either. I am try do place the greeting in the top area where it shows how log the member has been logged on for and the time of day. Using SMF1.1 rc2 and TP v0.96

Can you post the code you're trying to edit? I can show you were the "require_once" command goes.

Here it is

Code Select Expand

// If the user is logged in, display stuff like their name, new messages, etc.
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a> <br />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a><br />';

}


This is from the default index.template.php file

Let me just double-check. Are you sure you put the UserFunctions.php file in the Sources directory?

I'm still not sure where exactly you want the greeting to go. My guess is that you want it here, instead of $txt['hello_member_ndt']:

Code Select Expand


// display user name
echo '
  <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" >
  <tr>';
  if($context['user']['is_logged'])
    echo '
      <td class="titlebg2" height="32">
          <span style="font-size: 130%;"> ', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <b>', $context['user']['name'] , '</b></span>
       </td>';


So, this is what you would use:

Code Select Expand


// display user name
require_once('UserFunctions.php');
echo '
  <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" >
  <tr>';
  if($context['user']['is_logged'])
    echo '
      <td class="titlebg2" height="32">
          <span style="font-size: 130%;"> ', greeting(), ' <b>', $context['user']['name'] , '</b></span>
       </td>';

       </td>';


I will check again. Just about to read to my son so I will have to get back to this later.
