  • @jac @DownPW here’s the function I put together than will need to be added into your Custom JS

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {
        function updateUsername() {
            $('.getUsername .username').text(app.user.username);
        }
        if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
            document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateUsername);
        } else {
            updateUsername();
        }
        var thehours = new Date().getHours();
    	var themessage;
    	var morning = ('Good morning');
    	var afternoon = ('Good afternoon');
    	var evening = ('Good evening');
    
    	if (thehours >= 0 && thehours < 12) {
    		themessage = morning; 
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 12 && thehours < 17) {
    		themessage = afternoon;
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 17 && thehours < 24) {
    		themessage = evening;
    	}
    
    	$('.getUsername').prepend(themessage);
    });
    

    Then use a custom HTML widget with the below

    <!-- IF loggedIn -->
    <div class="getUsername">, <a href="/me"><span class="username"></span></a></div>
    <!-- ENDIF loggedIn -->

    @phenomlab No idea if this is for me or @DownPW but it is very clever indeed! does it show on mobile?

    The idea is fantastic Mark, is there a point where you think yes my ideas are used by others but having the same features across a few forums, does that bother you or would you say this is why you created Sudonix?

  • @phenomlab

    Oh my God ^^
    I wonder where did you learn to code JS like this?

    Yes, natively, but I use CSS to hide it.

    Absolutely not. I know that my ideas have been accepted and used by @JAC @DownPW @kurulumuNet and I’m happy that others find them useful. There’s no copyright here - anything you want to take and use is, like the platform itself, free.

    The firm I work for uses a worfkflows system which I wrote from scratch. It’s used to track the onboarding, departures, application requests etc of users, and is also an audit source. Been a developer for years…

    @downpw Sure. Very simple - just place this in your mobile CSS block

    .getUsername {
      display: none;
    }

    What is your CSS for this @phenomlab ?
    I have small bug on Unread categorie for example with this code I wrote:

    .getUsername {
        float: right;
        font-family: 'Poppins';
        font-size: 1.6rem;
        line-height: 1.8;
        color: #898989;
        font-weight: 400;
    }

    @downpw I use the below - essentially, using padding to overcome this

    .getUsername {
        padding-top: 20px;
        text-align: right;
    }

    @phenomlab
    To hide only on mobile / tablet you can use max-width,
    For example:

    @media (max-width: 970px) {
         .getUsername {
       display: none;
    }
    }

        }
        if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
            document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateUsername);
        } else {
            updateUsername();
        }
        var thehours = new Date().getHours();
    	var themessage;
    	var morning = ('Good morning');
    	var afternoon = ('Good afternoon');
    	var evening = ('Good evening');
    
    	if (thehours >= 0 && thehours < 12) {
    		themessage = morning; 
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 12 && thehours < 17) {
    		themessage = afternoon;

    		themessage = evening;
    	}

    Hello,

    I have a question regarding a problem my user is experiencing with this Welcome message.
    This user is not in France.

    It’s 7:40 a.m. for him, so 1:40 a.m. in France, and the banner wishes me a “good afternoon.” I don’t know what time zone it thinks I’m in, but it’s wrong…

    And nodebb displays 11:40 p.m. on the right once posted, so GMT.
    Which isn’t the afternoon either.

    How does this script get the time? It looks like it’s getting the time from the client, meaning the computer or device of the person visiting your site.
    But it seems that in this specific case, the correct time isn’t being retrieved.

    How can I fix this?

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system.

    I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @phenomlab Ah, got it working! I reversed the CSS addition to put z index high, and then I could see another error box saying fork title must be at least 3 characters. So made the new fork title longer and button responded.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored.
