Filter Birthdays By Posts

Filter Birthdays By Posts
Because members sometime only register to be famous.
============================================

This hack will only show Birthdays in the calendar and forumhome if the user's postcount is more than 10. (That number can be changed, just check out the install file.. Find the 10 in there somewhere. ;))

Compatibility: This hack will work with vB 2.0.3 and higher.
Install Time: 1-2 Minutes
Download: Instructions are in attachment.

Thanks.

[Keyser S?ze]

man u have no idea, back in the day when we had it so u had to be registerd to download, we had like 80,000 members, and 79,000 with 0 posts :p so the birthday thing was so long we had to turn it off :( but since then we changed that, and then went and cleared out all the dead members

but still, great hack


something to becareful of, i set mine to post>99 and that made it not work, but post>100 works fine, would be great to have that changeable in the admin cp >options under "turn today birthday on/off"

thanks again

www.emusanet.com/forums First, delete that attachment. We're not allowed to post complete vB files. Then, modify the query in functions.php. I think this will work: $bdays = $DB_site->query("SELECT username,userid,birthday
FROM user
WHERE posts>'101' AND (birthday LIKE '%-$todayneggmt'
OR birthday LIKE '%-$todayposgmt')");

This is a great hack! I am wondering though how I could use it to include only users from a members group, mods, and admin (excluding banned, inactive, and awaiting moderation people from the bday listings). Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks!
TigerLily:D

[Broekie]

thanks If it worked, it will keep working. The code looks like it breaks the day up into two parts. The the two varialbes in the OR part of the query needed to be grouped together in parentheses.

Thanx :)

its working for me, but not in forumhome, it still shows todaysbirthday:(

[Danny]

yeah on forumhome it still shows todays birthdays? do you know how fix this? or does anyone know how to fix this?

[Keyser S?ze]

if u are using this hack and you have a member that has enough posts and its their b-day it suppose to show

if u dont want it to show ever just go to the admin cp>options and turn it off

[LaNder]

On forumhome it still shows all Birthdays not depending on postcount.

The $birthdays-variable is no affected by this hack.

How could this be fixed?

LaNder

[LaNder]

No Ideas? :(

[LangTuDaTinh]

if u have vbportal from phpportals.com u can use this hack just change

showbirthdays.php

just change this line


$bdays = $DB_site->query("SELECT userid, username, birthday FROM user WHERE birthday LIKE '%-$today'");

to this line.

$bdays = $DB_site->query("SELECT posts, userid, username, birthday FROM user WHERE posts>='10' AND birthday LIKE '%-$today'");


great hack...thanks, and it works on 2.2.9
