Birthday, User Age and Zodiac Hack v1.2 (Working Version) [Archive]

Birthday, User Age and Zodiac Hack (Working Version)
Version 1.2 by Boofo (and Logician)

A very big Thank You goes out to Logician for helping to make this hack a reality. Without his expert coding and guidance, it would never have been. And a thank you also goes out to Slynderdale for giving me the idea to make this hack. Although I could never get his hack to work, it gave me some general ideas of where to start from.

What this hack does:

This will allow you to have the user's age, zodiac sign and chinese zodiac sign in the profile. It will also allow you to have the variable filled in instead of showing nothing if no information was entered.

(NOTE: This birthday code will also fix the problem that some people have encountered with the birthdate not displaying the correct date if the users birthday was before December 31, 1969. This was only reported to happen on a few installations on certain servers.)

Version 1.0 - Originally written for vBulletin 2.2.5 without the images showing.
Version 1.1 - Updated to work with vBulletin 2.2.9 and added images for the zodiac signs.
Version 1.2 - Updated the instruction file to avoid anyone changing the wrong birthday code.

This hack has been tested on version 2.2.9.

Files to edit: 1 (root/member.php)
Files to upload: 12 (zodiac image files)
Templates to Edit: 1 (getinfo)

Please lick the install button if you find this hack useful.

Would we be able to put this info into a postbit?

Boofo

03-19-2003, 10:37 PM

It shouldn't be too hard to port it over to that. I can take a look at it and see what I can come up with. The image might be a little much for the postbit, though. What all do you want in the postbit? Erwin released a User Age hack for the postbit already. ;)

Dan

03-19-2003, 10:39 PM

I want the symbol in the symbols in the post bit. I haven't looked at the pictures if they are big i'd make new ones that would be smaller for the postbit

Boofo

03-19-2003, 10:41 PM

The symbol? Please show me an image or something of what you mean.

The difference between this code and yours is that it had to be re-written and corrected to work like it is supposed to. I wasn't going to release it but I saw people were still having problems with your new version. I credited you in the file, my friend. ;)

Slynderdale

03-19-2003, 11:31 PM

My updated code is also template driven for easy editing online, I uploaded the fixed 2.0 quite a while ago and it works well, I tested it on a few boards.

Hmm, only one person had a problem with it because they copied the code in a wrong please, Im not trying to be mean or any thing, and Im not mad or any thing. Good work though with fixing this.

I've many hacks installed and my birthdaycode looks a bit different and i can't replace it with the code from this hack because it then displayed no birthdaybits anymore and wrong dates. Can you make it work with this??

// Set birthday fields right here!
if ($bbuserinfo[birthday] == '0000-00-00') {
$daydefaultselected = "selected";
$monthdefaultselected = "selected";
} else {
$birthday = explode("-",$bbuserinfo[birthday]);
$dayname = "day".$birthday[2]."selected";
$$dayname = "selected";
$monthname = "month".$birthday[1]."selected";
$$monthname = "selected";
if (date("Y")>$birthday[0] && $birthday[0]!='0000')
$year = $birthday[0];
}
eval("\$birthday = \"".gettemplate("register_birthday")."\";");
} else {
$birthday = '';
}

Now it would be great to add a clear image in the image placeholder for those members that don't want to share their age! That *blank* image placeholder looks out of place! ;)

Boofo

03-20-2003, 01:24 AM

On my site, I use Logician's Dynamic Templates hack and just have the whole line not show if there isn't a birth year entered. I suppose I could go in and do a space fix for that, unless you have an image to replace that. ;)

Boofo

03-20-2003, 02:12 AM

Update!

There is a broken image if the birth year is not entered in the profile. To fix this, do the following:

In member.php, find:

$zodiacimage=$zodiacsign.".gif";

And replace it with:

$zodiacimage = "<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/zodiac/$zodiacsign.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$zodiacsign\" align=\"absmiddle\">";

In the getinfo template, find:

<tr>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>Zodiac Sign:</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><img src="{imagesfolder}/zodiac/$zodiacimage" border="0" alt="$zodiacsign" align="absmiddle"></td>
</tr>

And replace it with:

<tr>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>Zodiac Sign:</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">$zodiacimage</td>
</tr>

The install file in the first post is now updated. ;)

If any one wants a zodiac and user age hack that doesnt replace any code and works with vb 3.0 and just simply copy and paste without replacing any clode and thats template driven to esily edit online go here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37938

Plus theres alot less code, heres an example:

if (!isset($bday) or !$bday) $bday = explode("-",$post[birthday]);
if (date("Y")>$bday[0] and $bday[0]>1901 && $bday[0]!='0000') {
$userage= date("Y") - ($bday[0]+1);
if ((date("m")==$bday[1] and $bday[2]<=date("d")) or date("m")>$bday[1])
$userage=$userage+1;
$zodiac_chinese_array = array("Rooster","Dog","Pig","Rat","Ox","Tiger","Hare","Dragon","Snake","Horse","Goat","Monkey");
$zodiacbit=$bday[0]%12;
eval("\$zodiac[chinese] = \"".gettemplate("zodiac_chinese_".strtolower(trim($zodiac_chinese_array[$zodiacbit-1])))."\";");
}
if ($bday[1]!='00' and $bday[1]>0 and $bday[2]!='00' and $bday[2]>0) {
$zodiac_astro_array = array("Aries","Taurus","Gemini","Cancer","Leo","Virgo","Libra","Scorpio","Sagittarius","Capricorn","Aquarius","Pisces");
$zodiac_month = array(
start => array("3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","1","2"),
end => array("4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","1","2","3")
);
$zodiac_day = array(
start => array("21","20","21","22","23","23","23","23","22","22","20","19"),
end => array("19","20","21","22","22","22","22","21","21","19","18","20")
);
for($i=0;$i<12;$i++) {
$month['start'] = $zodiac_month['start'][$i];
$month['end'] = $zodiac_month['end'][$i];
$day['start'] = $zodiac_day['start'][$i];
$day['end'] = $zodiac_day['end'][$i];
if($bday[1] == $month['start'] and $bday[2] >= $day['start'] or $bday[1] == $month['end'] and $bday[2] <= $day['end']) {
eval("\$zodiac[astro] = \"".gettemplate("zodiac_astro_".strtolower(trim($zodiac_astro_array[$i])))."\";");
break;
}
}
}

It works too, this hack boofo release was version 1.o of my code after he made small edits to it, the code was almost identicle though, So you can use Boofo's fix of version 1.0 of my code or mu version 2.0 code. Both work.

If they don't enter a birth year, there won't be an age. Check to see if they have entered their birth year. ;)

Are you trying to put the age in the postbit or getinfo template?

Ok, I guess I'm not understanding you here. In order for the age to show up, they must ALSO enter a year of birth, not just the date. Have they done that? Can you attach a picture of what it looks like here?

I found your problem. You have it in the wrong part. It needs to be the birthday code right above this in your file that needs to be changed. Revert the other code back. :)

Make sure you are replacing the correct birthday code. It is the birthday code right above this line that needs to be changed.:

// Get referrals
if ($usereferrer) {
if ($backcolor=="{firstaltcolor}") {
$backcolor="{secondaltcolor}";
$bgclass = "alt2";
} else {
$backcolor="{firstaltcolor}";
$bgclass = "alt1";
}
$refcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS count

WHERE referrerid = '$userinfo[userid]'");
$referrals = $refcount[count];

Just make sure you upload the images to the zodiac directory and the names need to be the same as they are in the code (example: Hare.gif). If you come across a good set of images, let me know and I can include them in the file for others to use, too. ;)

You will also need to change:

<tr>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>Chinese Zodiac Sign:</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>$chineszodiacsign</normalfont></td>
</tr>

to:

<tr>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>Chinese Zodiac Sign:</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>$chinesezodiacimage</normalfont></td>
</tr>

in the getinfo template.

Erwin released an Age in postbit hack a while back just for that. The zodiacs would take some coding in the functions.php but could be done. The reason I never did it is because I didn't want to over-inflate the postbit with alot of the same info that is in the profile. I like to have fresh info in different places so users will take the time to check it all out. ;)

I wonder if this is happening, most of our members like to have info right before their nose and are unwilling to cross different sections of the forum to harvest it.

I see the postbit as the nervecenter of a forum and there it's all come togehter to make a forum as interactive and rich in personal info as possible, without overloading it. The balance is a challenge, i admit that but in the mean time...it would be a nice addon if this images are displayed in the postbit to. ;)

NuclioN, in the admin/functions.php file, copy the birthday code and the zodiac code (below it) AFTER the following code and put the same variables you are using in the profile where you want them to show up in the postbit. That should do it.

if ($post['receivepm'] and $enablepms==1) {
eval("\$post[pmlink] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_sendpm")."\";");
} else {
$post[pmlink] = "";

Ok, for a quick fix so you can use this in the postbit, too, until I can look at it further, use Erwin's Age in Postbit Hack for the birthday part and then copy the zodiac part below it and it will work, I tested it that way here.

NOTE: This wasn't written for the postbit, yet, only for the getinfo where it works fine. I will see what I can do about porting it to work in the postbit for you.

Slynderdale

03-21-2003, 08:42 PM

Boofo im not trying to mean or any thing but I fixed all the bugs with the zodiac hack before you released this and also made a few improvments including with the age, the code you have in this hack is 90% of version 1.0 of my old hack with some fixes.

The version 2.0 of my hack was completly rewritten for alot less code and also fixed the bugs in 1.0. I also made it so it doesnt need to replace that chunk of code any more so its compatible with all future versions of vB and made it esier to read.

Also I added template support so you dont have to go in and edit the member.php file and thn reupload it to the server every time you wanna make a change to the way it looks.

I thank you though for wanting to help and fixing up my original code, Im sorry if this sounds mean at all. It wasnt meant to. Also im sorry for any previous posts I made that offended you. I consider you a freind and the last thing I want is for a freind to be mad at me.

Did you upload the image files for the zodiac signs? Also, make sure the zodiac filenames are capitalized in the first letter after you upload them.

Hey, I'm pretty new at adding hacks but this one worked very well. Thank you Boofo!

I like the zodiac sign images, but I was wondering if you also had images for the chinese zodiac signs? (i.e. ox, bull, tiger, rabbit, etc...) :)

Boofo

You're very welcome. I haven't found a good set of the chinese zodiac images yet. I will post them here when I find a set that looks good. ;)

The images need to be in the images/zodiac folder. Check the code again and make sure you put the code in the right place in the member.php file. That will make a difference.

Did you add the code in the getinfo template? Post it here so I can see if that might be causing your problem.

:shame: :) Thanks Boofo. I hope you can let this also work in the postbit. Great hack.

-- ow...i'm a rat not an ox. How to change that?

What is your birthdate?

I think the problem is your hack is not following the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
A person borned in 1973 or 1961 is not necessarily belonging to the OX chinese zodiac.
Those who were born before the Chinese Lunar New Year belongs to the Rat zodiac. And Chinese Lunar New Year, does not fall on 1st Jan.

Are you able to make the hack follow the Chinese Calendar? (perpetually?)

Well, I did the best I could with what I had to work with. What is in the hack is what I found in numerous places on the Internet. They all had about the same thing so I went with that. If you really want to get technical, I suppose you could be right, but for most cases, what is in the hack will do nicely AND follow what I found at most other places. ;)

Gine me the info I need and I will see about getting it implemented. ;)
The chinese calendar is different every year, and I am not really sure what is the formula to calculate the number of days per chinese lunar new year.
I will try to find out for you. ;)
