When I first read your post...I said "WHAT an update?" And I hurried up and downloaded the file...then I read the contrib upgrade.... and I thought OH, that. I forgot about that!
On thing in the update. You have the instructions in the contrib file in a Microsoft Word Document. I couldn't open that. (I don't have any office software).

Glad you finally were able to find a few minutes to put that together. Things might be slowing a bit for you?

Hi Jenice,

That is just an explanation on how the mod works and an where the settings are located. The actual update is in XML. The word doc isn't really needed.

[Ladysarajane]

No, I know it isn't neccessary, but nosey people like me like to read "eeverything" in a file. I guess we get paranoid or something when we can't read things.

Hi Jamonte,
Try this:

Warning!! I have no tested this out. Make sure you back up your files first before doing anything.

First remove the queries for this mod from your DB

Then install this query:

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` (`config_name`, `config_value`) VALUES ('time_first', 'Good Afternoon');
INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` (`config_name`, `config_value`) VALUES ('time_second', 'Good morning, you're up early');
INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` (`config_name`, `config_value`) VALUES ('time_third', 'Good evening');

Note: you can adjust your greeting messages in the ACP.
