[Add-on] Welcome Mod 2.0.0 (Beta)

[stitch626]

Version 0.1.2 Just released!

Fixes and improvements:

Re-wrote template code for both subsilver2 and prosilver for much cleaner viewing of welcome message.

New code places welcome message in a new table just below the links table. Thanks to Lefty74 for the idea and testing ths out. (Cleaned up extra white space caused by previous version.)

Fixed bug with username dissapearing from welcome list when visiting other pages.

Removed Username variable from index.php and placed into includes/functions.php in order to display usrname on all pages.

Added new welcome message for early morning visitors

New Version 0.1.3 just released today!

New version fixes welcome message displaying bug in subsilver2. There was a problem with viewing in Firefox. Now welcome message will display properly in both IE and Firefox.

Also removed extra surplus code that is not needed in language file.

Hey Mike!

How've you been? Haven't seen you round recently.

Just wanted to point out that something broke when I updated to RC7. It appears that {U_WELCOME_NAME} isn't working anymore. I think this is the code that it uses in includes/functions.php. Anyone able to point me in the correct direction on how to fix this?

Code: Select all

// Welcome Mod
// Let's welcome the member in style with color!
$welcome_colour = ($user->data['user_colour']) ? $welcome_colour = ' style="color:#' . $user->data['user_colour'] . '"' : $welcome_colour = '';

if ( $user->data['user_id'] != 1 )
{
$welcome_name = '<strong><a' . $welcome_colour . ' href="' . append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}memberlist.$phpEx", 'mode=viewprofile&amp;u=' . $user->data['user_id']) . '">' . $user->data['username'] . '</a></strong>';
}
else
{
$welcome_name = '<strong><a href="' . append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}ucp.$phpEx", 'mode=register') . '" title="Click to Register">' . $user->lang['GUEST'] . '</a></strong>';
}
// Welcome Mod   

Thanks!
~JD

Edit: Ouch...I feel like an idiot. I was missing the last 'U_WELCOME_NAME' => $welcome_name, part. Sorry for the trouble.

Hey JD,
I've been here Just posted last night. Anyway I'm glad you got it sorted. I know the mod is compatible with RC6 but I don't know about RC7 because I haven't updated yet. All I know is after I updated from RC5 to RC6 I had to upload a fresh Functions.php and reinstall all my mods that affected that file including the Welcome Mod.

[jdh]

that is exactly what happened to me. I must have missed that part.

You were on that trip! I remember now. Welcome back.

I've finally upgraded my welcome mod and it is great, but I am having trouble with prosilver and prosilver based templates.

When I copy and paste into the index body, my Welcome Mod looks like this:

How can I seperate the Date and Last visit lines to look as clean as subsilver2? I am running RC7.

Hi 'sarajane,

This is how it is supposed to be according to the mod. If you are not happy with it just let me know how you would like it and I can try and help you with it.

Hey Stitch626

I'd like it to look more like the subsilver2....with the last visit being under the current date.

My life had been so busy, I really did not have a chance to upgrade my mods till now and with RC7 I wasn't sure if you intended to have prosilver look like that.
I'd appreciate help with it. Prosilver templates confuse me still!


Oops Stitch626, I almost forgot.
For the subsilver2 template, when you are looking at the guest at the top it has Hello twice in the greeting.
You have this as the edit

Code: Select all

<div id="datebar">
<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td class="row1" width="100%"><span class="gensmall">
<strong>
<div style="float:right;">
<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->{LAST_VISIT_DATE}</strong><!-- ELSE --></strong>{CURRENT_TIME}<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><br />{CURRENT_TIME}<!-- ENDIF --></span></div>    
<span class="gensmall">
<!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><strong>{L_WELCOME_HELLO} {L_WELCOME_GUEST},</strong><!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><strong>{L_WELCOME_WELBACK}</strong> {U_WELCOME_NAME},<!-- ENDIF --></span>
<strong>
<script type="text/javascript">
today = new Date()
if(today.getMinutes() < 10){
pad = "0"}
else 
pad = "";
if((today.getHours() >=0) && (today.getHours() <=3)) document.write("{L_TIME_MIDNIGHT}");
if((today.getHours() >=4) && (today.getHours() <=6)) document.write("{L_TIME_EARLY}");
if((today.getHours() >=7) && (today.getHours() <=11)) document.write("{L_TIME_MORNING}");
if((today.getHours() >=12) && (today.getHours() <=17)) document.write("{L_TIME_AFTERNOON}");
if((today.getHours() >=18) && (today.getHours() <=24)) document.write("{L_TIME_EVENING}");
</script></strong>
<!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><strong>{L_WELCOME_MESSAGE}</strong><!-- ENDIF --></span>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>



I took out the {L_WELCOME_HELLO} on the line that says:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><strong>{L_WELCOME_HELLO} {L_WELCOME_GUEST},</strong><!-- ENDIF -->

And it looks much better for guests now. I don't know if you want to implement that in the xml file or not.
