need a little help

[Mike]

I have this code in my plug in


$(document).ready(function(){
   var user=pb.data('user');
   var myDate = new Date();
   var hrs = myDate.getHours();

   var greet;

   if (hrs < 12)
       greet = 'Good Morning';
   else if (hrs >= 12 && hrs <= 17)
       greet = 'Good Afternoon';
   else if (hrs >= 17 && hrs <= 24)
       greet = 'Good Evening';

   document.getElementById('lblGreetings').innerHTML =
       '<b>' + greet + ' '+user+'</b> ';
});


I place my holder in the layout

<label id="lblGreetings"> </label>

But what it show on the home page is "Good morning null"
How do I get the user's name to appear?

Try changing...

var user=pb.data('user');

to

var user=pb.data('user').name;

will this use the time off of proboards server?

If you change the line:

var myDate = new Date();

to:

var myDate = new Date(pb.data('serverDate'))

that will make the code use the Proboards' server time rather than the user's local computer time

Thank you
