change Welcome Guest

[adb34]

I would like to change "Welcome Guest" in to a 'Time of Greeting and Guest'. I have a javascript ready to go, however, I cannot work out how to and where to put it. File location is

/includes/languages/english/index.php


and the command line 27 reads

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> please <a href="%s">log yourself in</a>?');

The java script is;

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var day = new Date();
var hr = day.getHours();

if (hr <= 11)
{
document.write("Good Morning!");
}
else if (hr > 11 && hr < 17)
{
document.write("Good Afternoon!");
}
else
{
document.write("Good Evening!");
}

//-->
</script>

Ok. Here's what I did. Find this part

<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

located in your tpl_main_page.php file, under includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/. Directly after this part paste this into your file

<!--<div id="greetingScript">
<script type="text/javascript" src="welcome.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var day = new Date();
var hr = day.getHours();
if (hr <= 11)
{document.write("Good Morning!");}
else if (hr > 11 && hr < 17)
{document.write("Good Afternoon!");}
else {document.write("Good Evening!");}
</script>
</div>

You have to do a bit of CSS in order for it to display the way you want. I you want the file to display the greeting in your index.php file you could simply paste the entire message into the script file, like this:
document.write("Good Morning! Welcome Guest");

I'm sure there are also other ways to do this..

Thanks

Locate this file:

includes/ templates/ YOUR_TEMPLATE/ common/ tpl_main_page.php

You will find this coding:

<!-- bof  breadcrumb -->
<?php if (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '1' || (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '2' && !$this_is_home_page) ) { ?>
    <div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

Add this below right after the <!-- eof breadcrumb -->

<div id="greetingScript">
<script type="text/javascript" src="welcome.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var day = new Date();
var hr = day.getHours();
if (hr <= 11)
{document.write("Good Morning!");}
else if (hr > 11 && hr < 17)
{document.write("Good Afternoon!");}
else {document.write("Good Evening!");}
</script>
</div>

Thanks for the info I now have at this moment in time Good Morning, however it is in the wrong place (sorry).

I would like to replace the wording that is currently

say "Welcome Guest" to say that '[time day greeting] Guest',

then when you are logged to say '[time day greeting] [your first name]'

then after that I do not wish it to appear
