VSa - Auto Birthday Greeter

[Valter]

Info:
This hack automatically creates a birthday thread in the forum you select. Only members that allow their date of birth to be displayed will be listed, and age will be shown only for those who has chosen that. Members are shown in colors defined in usergroup settings. You can choose to exclude inactive members. Several users can be set as greeters (used randomly when posting). Thread will be created first time when someone loads forumhome after midnight.


Notes:
-This executes 1 very simple query on forumhome/in target forum.
-mktime() error? Check out this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1993740&postcount=39).

Been waiting for this. Thanks!

[Robru]

Can we upgrade from the old 1.4 Cyb - Auto Birthday Greeter version ?

[Jonluci]

Works great :)
Thanks a lot

[War.Frog]

You're on a roll Valter! Thanks for the update!

WOOOOOOOOT! Million Thanks Once Again Valter...Fantastic!

Uninstall old version before upgrading to v2.0.

[k1klass]

best coder ever - cheers m8, marked as installed ;)

Agreed. Hmm...they're looking for coding help for vBExperience 4.X since Phalanx is hanging 'em up. How about it Valter? ;-) :D

[TimberFloorAu]

Anyway we could include the data from this script in the thread ???

http://www.joeswebtools.com/wordpress-plugins/born-on-this-day/

So It says :

You also share your birthday with,:-

Bing Crosby
Edgar Allan Poe
Jacque Cousteau

etc ?

[Hornstar]

So it creates just 1 thread with all the birthdays listed in it? That sounds pretty good.

[Valter]

One thread per day, like it's shown on screenshot:

valter does this mod utilize html markup too?

[princeedward]

hmmm...dunno but it doesn't work for me....i guess i set it right...or something wrong with my settings or installation...can anyone confirm this please if it's okay to your side?

;)

[Valter]

Important things to check:
- Target forum: this must be set in product options (menu select)
- Greeter: This field must be filled in product options (value = userid)
- Exclusion settings: users must pass these to be included in birthday thread (product options)
- User options: Users who has chosen not to show birthday info will be excluded

[TCB]

Many members seem to like it, so thanks :D

[War.Frog]

Mine works - I just had to set my clock to +1 to match server time. What DIDN'T work, however, was entering multiple Greeters. For whatever reason, it only selected one and posted it from the one member. Strangely, his UserID was not the first or last.

Is there a maximum number of Greeter(s) allowed?

[x626xblack]

Does it show "user names" or User 5 , User 8.....

[meissenation]

Thanks! Been waiting for this one. :)

Edit: Could you please describe how the hack gets the server time from the misc.php?do=vsa_servertz page? I've been trying to troubleshoot an issue with my Scheduled Tasks being hours off but no one on VBulletin.com can figure it out and it appears that the same issue on my server is affecting this mod too. It says the Server Time is currently 14:03 but yet when I log into the server from RDP (it's a windows box), it's 9:03am... All of my timezone settings that I can find are set to GMT -5 (Eastern).

Edit: Nevermind, found the UTC datetime in the php.ini file. Thank you though - this issue has been bugging me forever and your mod reminded me to investigate it further rather than just manually adjusting the scheduled tasks by 5 hours. :)

[Valter]

Is there a maximum number of Greeter(s) allowed?
Not limited by product.

Just list them separated by commas.

They are used randomly.

Ah! Gotcha. Thank you for the clarification!

[princeedward]

well my mistake...i thought it's not workin...i miss the other option

[Charlie98902]

Does this use the html mark-up too on usernames?

[Valter]

Does this use the html mark-up too on usernames?
Yes, it does.

[cory_booth]

Thanks and I confirm this is working like it used to in 4.02...
I was curious however....
What steps would be needed to run this via cron?
My forum tends to be a bit quiet during the winter (boating site) and the forum may be unvisited a day or two....

[BENSTER]

Where did the auto mp3 music come from?

Valter i just installed it and now i have a error msg and the VSA-Chatbox is all messed up.

Warning: mktime() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(399) : eval()'d code on line 23

After i disabled the Auto Birthday Greeter the chatbox was normal again.

I also noticed after the upgrade that it instantly created a new thread for somebody that had his birthday on 01-01 but it created a thread today.

Check your PHP, and following thread (and especially post 10):

I can not upgrade the PHP because the host needs to do that.
I checked the member settings and de birthday was set correct.

Is it possible to upload the previous version because that one worked perfect.

[utahraves]

I had 6 threads created on my forum between 11 and 1125pm LAST NIGHT.

3 threads for each day. There is totally something wrong with this update. My server time is completely different than the time I use on my forum. I use MST for my forum but my server is hosted in California.

See screen shot.
This was working PERFECTLY before I upgraded.

It actually created 7 threads --- I am deleting all but the one people are replying to. The one I didn't notice actually did go at Midnight.

Yeah I know what you mean. A lot of my forum people are a-holes and are always criticizing my every change on my board. Jerks.

Thanks a bunch :)

[SemperFideles]

Valter,

Things were working well for me with v2.0.0 and when I upgraded to v2.0.2 everything went crazy with the multiple entries being created. Could you please put the v2.0.0 back up as a downloadable XML so I can downgrade as I foolishly deleted the older version.

[Valter]

v2.0.3 - Mar 02 2010.
-Hopefully fixed known bugs with multiple threads and mktime errors

To upgrade:
-Import product XML, allow overwrite

[utahraves]

Thanks Valter -- I'll let you know if I experience any more additional threads.

[Valter]

Yes, please report any additional bugs you discover.

[Jonluci]

Multiple threads are still created for me :(

My server time is set to California time, I am Mountain time and so is my forum (Utah based).

+1 on the countless birthday threads.

It's comforting, but more annoying.

[HansMuenchen]

Hello,

I see now that the addon don't create threads for people who have birthday.
Can it maybe changed so that a VB task will be generated to create the birthday threads?
Since I have now 2.0.3 installed the Threads will be not created anymore.

Thnx for the help
Hans

[princeedward]

Same thing with me. My time zone is GMT, but it didn't post the thread until 1845hrs!

It also included a couple of people whose birthday is on the following day, but are on the opposite side of the world.

It's such a shame, as it could be such a good modification if it worked well.

Hi valter, can you please check why the mod is spamming the forum ? i mean yesterday the mod created 12 threads for 2 members i have in my forum. First it created double threads for every member, but then when i deleted the double threads , the mod created another 2. It kept doing it until the mode created 12 threads :(. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the last 2 updates on the 4.0.2 Pl 4

uninstalled until valter get time to look into it. today i deleted 22 threads bd greeter for one member only.

Everyone assumed it was an April Fools joke and that's what I'm letting them think. Unfortunately I have since disabled this hack.

Yeah, I had the same issue a while ago, and so did many other people.

I don't think this hack is supported any more, so subsequently many people (me included) have disabled this mod.

Shame, because this is potentially a good idea.

Here are my settings:

I have no idea where NTCOLOR comes from. It only shows up as a result of the auto birthday greeter, no where else.

[Valter]

Use CSS. Change:

- opening tag to:
<span style="color:#0000FF;font-weight:bold;">
- closing tag to:
</span>
- 'User title' to:
<span style="color:#0000FF;font-weight:bold;">Modding Guru</span>

Change red part to color code you want to use for selected usergroup.

[War.Frog]

What about the wonky date issue? It's frustrating to see someone get their birthday greeting on the right day, but with the actual shown date one day behind.

[Bouncer222]

What if I have myself as one of the ids to be the poster and then my birthday comes up. Does the mod know not to choose me as the greeter if it's my birthday?

Installed and received a happy birthday email.

But for some reason there is no happy birthday post on the forum.

Anyone know what is causing this issue?

Ok, had a problem with this mod, the first one I've had since starting to use it both on v3 and now on v4.0.4pl1 ..

For some reason, yesterday it posted 40 posts (two pages) saying "Happy Birthday" to the same 2 members... :eek:

The posts seem to be arriving every 10 minutes or so....

It's as if the cron job kept cycling, even though it had already made the single post it should have for each of those 2 members.

Anyone ever had this happen to them? :confused:

Well, it's been posting repeating messages all day, almost every hour ... :eek:

I don't think it's compatible with 4.04 ...

I even completely un-installed it and re-installed it, but still the issue remains ....

I hate to uninstall it, but without a fix it's going to drive everyone crazy ... :D

[spillage]

I'm running it on 4.0.4... it is working as expected, except it posts ~12hrs early.
ie; a B'day on Jul 9th has posted at 11:52am on Jul 8th.

Thought on a rectification?

[spillage]

I take that back... today, I have multiple posts for the same B'day.
I'm getting a post per B'day member, per hour.

I've disabled this mod until I see the issue acknowledged and resolved.

Use CSS. Change:

- opening tag to:
<span style="color:#0000FF;font-weight:bold;">
- closing tag to:
</span>
- 'User title' to:
<span style="color:#0000FF;font-weight:bold;">Modding Guru</span>

Change red part to color code you want to use for selected usergroup.

I didn't realize you had answered me until the same thing happened again this morning! I changed the HTML to the CSS you suggested. Now I have to wait for another birthday for someone with the custom CSS markup! ;)

Thanks!:up:

Edit:
BTW, I haven't had the double-post issue in neither 4.0.3, 4.0.4 or now that I'm on 4.0.5. There must be something else conflicting. Maybe if everyone with the issue posts their list of hacks installed, we may see a pattern.

ive had 3 birthdays come up recently and none have had a thread made for them, it just isnt working for me using v4.0.4.

[WATRD]

So far, this is working properly for me in the forum, however, I am set up so that new threads are announced in the VSa - ChatBox and that announcement seems to come from the first user to trigger VSa - Auto Birthday Greeter, NOT from the greeter, as expected.

[GeorgeB85]

ignore!

[Valter]

It will exclude members who has chosen to not show their birthdays, or are inactive, etc...

Check product settings.

My apologies Valter..I just went into admincp, and did notice that he choose not to show that information..

Looks like I'm going to have to uninstall it again.

Such a shame, as I was looking forward to get this going again.

[Zant]

It's still posting a day early.

For someone who's birthday is on September 8th it just posted a thread at 10:21 PM GMT stating his birthday is September 7th.

[-=Leb=-]

On my forum it dosen't post at all.

I have the same problem with the new version ... :(

Two members birthdays are on Sept 8th and it posted Happy Birthday notices at 3:43pm on September 7th, the day before .... :confused:

I as hoping this latest update would fix the issue with this mod as there isn't anything else like it under vb4.

It will exclude members who has chosen to not show their birthdays, or are inactive, etc...

Check product settings.

[Alucard^]

A member birthday today but no thread has been created.

I am using 4.0.5

[BadgerDog]

Update:

Have a member's birthday today, Sept 10th ...

The post automatically placed in the forum we specified was added with a date yesterday (1 member is celebrating their birthday on 09-09-2010) with a time of 2:50 pm... :confused:

I don't remember seeing that post in that forum last night, so I'm beginning to wonder if the mod automatically put it there just after midnight today as it should have, however, it tagged it with the wrong date and time on the post itself? In other words, it's recognizing that it should put this member's birthday notice in the forum on today's date, but when it carries out the posting action it's using yesterday's date and some arbitrary time, which I haven't figured out where it's getting that information from.

Hope this helps Valter figure out what's happening with this recent version.

Badger

Updated to version 2.0.4 but the multiple threads are still occurring and so I've disabled once more.

Update ..

For some reason, it's now started double posting again. Same birthdays, duplicated within an hour of each other ....

Have temporarily disabled it ..

What ever happened to the time-offset option? This is posting threads the day before at approx 1130pm and the birthday dates are being stated as that day which is indeed incorrect.

[voglermc]

Yes lets get that fixed ASAP!

Mine just kicked in 4 hours early (@20:00). The post had the date as 9/25 not the correct date of 9/26. My server is at GMT -5. Maybe there needs to be a GMT offset setting in the control panel options.

[ardseidel]

Well there used to be an offset option to make the threads appear later or earlier..... but it was removed.

worked for two days, now again started creating multiple threads

[angelimnot]

worked for a few days.. then multi threads ... like .. 10-12 a day

[-=Leb=-]

Hi valter, sorry for keep coming with bad news. I had to disable the hack coz it started creating multiple threads.

it created like 50 threads for 2 members within like 20 mins.

One question, when i uninstalled it. i got database error, it forced me to reinstall the hack but disabled it temp until the next fix

[Footman]

Never got one single post... don't know why :(

[oly51]

Yesterday it greeted a member who lives in Norway at ~2:00pm EST (10 hours early). Today it greeted a member who lives in IL in the US ( GMT-6) at ~10:00pm (2 hours early).
Could the program be triggering on the members time zone instead of the servers?

[GeorgeB85]

This is working incorrectly. on 4.0.7. It is posting the birthday messages roughly 25 hours late. I just had a posting for a members birthday that was yesterday, and it didn't post till almost 1am last night.

[Julie]

I've had this installed for a while now, even on 4.0, and it's been working OK, it just posted the thread too early (about an hour before midnight or so), so I just had to manually edit the date inside the thread. Which wasn't a problem, because not a lot of birthday threads were posted.

But today I had to disable it. I had two members who had a birthday, and during the night, this script posted over 100 threads :S

Hopefully there'll be an update soon, because I really like this script!

[kras]

Even though i have created translations of the phrases; It's still uses the default English phrases in the gratulations.

[woffie]

Not posting any threads. Giving up on this one.

[persianpros]

[kras]

The original code used the vbdate()-function in a way that created bogus times, which actually is a design flaw in the function itself. However, since the Unix timestamp is independent from the default timezone settings i see no point in the original logic anyway, unless you alter the code to take advantage of vbdate's built in hourdiff mechanism, but since that mechanism uses the current users timezone you could get pretty unpredictable times.

I have altered the code so that a current UTC time is first created and then modified with the forums' timezone setttings to create a local forum time. In short, the product works fine now with the following changes.


Replace:

$vsaabgreeter_servertime = mktime('0'.date('H', TIMENOW), '0'.date('i', TIMENOW), '0'.date('s', TIMENOW), '0'.date('m', TIMENOW), '0'.date('d', TIMENOW), '0'.date('Y', TIMENOW), -1);
$vsaabgreeter_forumtime = mktime('0'.vbdate('H', TIMENOW), '0'.vbdate('i', TIMENOW), '0'.vbdate('s', TIMENOW), '0'.vbdate('m', TIMENOW), '0'.vbdate('d', TIMENOW), '0'.vbdate('Y', TIMENOW), -1);

$vsaabgreeter_propertime = TIMENOW;
if ($vsaabgreeter_servertime > $vsaabgreeter_forumtime)
{
$vsaabgreeter_timeoffset = $vsaabgreeter_servertime - $vsaabgreeter_forumtime;
$vsaabgreeter_propertime = TIMENOW - $vsaabgreeter_timeoffset + 10;
}
else
{
$vsaabgreeter_timeoffset = $vsaabgreeter_forumtime - $vsaabgreeter_servertime;
$vsaabgreeter_propertime = TIMENOW + $vsaabgreeter_timeoffset + 10;
}

$vsaabgreeter_execdate = date('m-d', $vsaabgreeter_propertime);

$vsaabgreeter_done = false;
$vsaabgreeter_posted = $vbulletin->db->query_read(" SELECT daydone FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vsa_birthdaythread WHERE daydone = '".$vbulletin->db->escape_string($vsaabgreeter_execdate)."' ");

if ($vbulletin->db->num_rows($vsaabgreeter_posted) > 0)
{
$vsaabgreeter_done = true;
}

$vsaabgreeter_exechour = date('H', $vsaabgreeter_propertime);-

With:


$vsaabgreeter_Time = new DateTime("now", new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$vsaabgreeter_offset = $vbulletin->options[timeoffset];
$vsaabgreeter_Time->modify(($vsaabgreeter_offset >= 0 ? '+' . $vsaabgreeter_offset : $vsaabgreeter_offset) . 'hour');

$vsaabgreeter_execdate = $vsaabgreeter_Time->format('m-d');

$vsaabgreeter_done = false;
$vsaabgreeter_posted = $vbulletin->db->query_read(" SELECT daydone FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vsa_birthdaythread WHERE daydone = '".$vbulletin->db->escape_string($vsaabgreeter_execdate)."' ");

if ($vbulletin->db->num_rows($vsaabgreeter_posted) > 0)
{
$vsaabgreeter_done = true;
}

$vsaabgreeter_exechour = $vsaabgreeter_Time->format('H');
-


Note that the exclude times are still there, which by default means that no threads will be created after 20:00. These times can be altered in the array shown below



$vsaabgreeter_exchrs = array(20,21,22,23);
-

or removed completely by replacing:


$vsaabgreeter_exechour = $vsaabgreeter_Time->format('H');
$vsaabgreeter_exchrs = array(20,21,22,23);

if (!$vsaabgreeter_done AND !in_array($vsaabgreeter_exechour, $vsaabgreeter_exchrs))
-

with


if (!$vsaabgreeter_done)
-

Attached is a file with all changes.

There was a typo in the code that affected negative time offsets. Now it should work for you. The code is available at the previous post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2117015&postcount=177).

You could create a new user in your ACP with todays date as birth date. Then you would know at once if it works (when your main forum page loads).

[CybaGirl]

Thanks for the update(s) I have re installed it and everything seems to be working on vBulletin v4.0.3.

However have the same issue with the persons birthday being posted a day earlier.

I have installed Kras's fix so hopefully this will resolve this issue. So thanks! But won't know until tomorrow.

[CybaGirl]

Ok I am sorry to report that Kras's fix did not fix the problem with the posting of someone's birthday on the correct day.

As it posted the announcement 27mins before midnight on the day before the persons birthday.

For example.

Persons birthday was the 28th of November 2010.

Announcement was posted at 11:27 PM on the 27th of November and the message read as follows.



1 member is celebrating their birthday on 27-11-10:

-Erica (born in 1986, Age: 24)


Happy Birthday!





So is there something else that needs to be changed in the code for the post to be made on the correct day?

As everything else seems to be fixed :).

Thanks.

[BadgerDog]

Kras' fix does work fine and corrects the time problem in the original mod that's been around a very long time ... ;)

Since we installed it on v4.04pl1, all of the time issues and incorrect dates for posting such as what you're reporting have been fixed...

I suspect the problem you've experienced has something to do with DST etc., or something else ..

Regards,
Doug

[CybaGirl]

Yes the problem lies with the DST setting if you have it enabled.

I have now disabled the DST setting and the mod works well.

Thanks!

[SemperFideles]

Duplicate Birthday greeting just started happening again.

[CybaGirl]

Opp's seems I was a bit premature with saying that the posting date is fixed.

The actual time of the post is correct. As in the mod makes the post on the day of the persons birthday just after midnight. In this case the post was made on the 1-12-2010.

However in the message itself. It says that the person celebrated their birthday the day before which was the 30-11-2010 as shown in this image.


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/11/1.jpg

So is there a way in which I can correct what the post actually posts in the message? As it should be saying.


1 member is celebrating their birthday on 01-12-10:

-Erica (born in 1986, Age: 24)


Happy Birthday!


Rather than


1 member is celebrating their birthday on 30-11-10:

-Erica (born in 1986, Age: 24)


Happy Birthday!


As shown in the image above.

Thanks.

[WreckRman2]

I too just installed this and it's posting toda for birthdays that are actually tomorrow. Not only that but it's posted two threads in one day.

Doesn't this post just a single thread for that days birthday at midnight?

[GeorgeB85]

It has been doing it for a while. I think it has more to do with the vb software, then the mod really.

[RK KINGKONG]

i have this already but havent updated on VB 4.1 patch 2 however the option for it to create a thread on ppls birthdays wasnt enabled .. should i upgrade ? or is it gonna be alot of hassle ? i want to enable the option of it creating a thread but if something goes wrong i really wouldnt knwo how to fix it . so im asking for honest opinions should i upgrade or leave this alone ?

Well, don't know what to say, except we had this out of sync date issue through multiple released versions and never could get it to work.. finally uninstalled it ... ;)

Saw kras's posts on the subject, downloaded and installed his variant ...

Problem solved for us and we've been running it for months on our v4.04pl1 vBulletin and never had an out of sync date (off by a day) problem since ... :up:

Your mileage obviously varies, but I'd still recommend others with the problem try that version, as it just might work for them as it did for us ... ;)

I'll probably do what I was trying to avoid all the time - add file to upload. It will make this working properly, based on forum time, executed once a day. I just need some free time...

Thnx for the great mod.

My current problem is that it's post people birthdays 1 day back

This created a thread today for me, but instead of the 26th, it said my birthday was the 25th???

This is an awesome mod! The only thing that would make it better would be allowing selection of the Post Icon. On our forums we have special icons for birthday greetings (a cake) and I can't see an option to select that with this mod. Great work though! Will try it out!

Any word on how this is doing wth 4.1.5PL1?

Do you use a specifc account to post birthday greetings and if so, is this the only thing that account is used for? If so you could add a conditional to the template so that if a specific user was the poster, then your cake post icon would be used.

Of course it would be nice to have the option added to this mod, but the above is a manual way to get it done in the meantime.
