i like it :D

Logician's hack is probably smaller than what it would take to do it another way. And with his hack, you can use conditionals for a lot of things.Ttrust me when I say that once you try it, you won't ever want to be without it. ;)

awesome!!!

Works perfectly, thanks so much!

thank

Working good on 2.2.9

I suppose you could have it change the $post[avatar] variable, but remember that this actually pulls from a template if you have some custom formatting... Look above like a page or two where you implemented this hack, and you will see all the avatar code. You can just overwrite the avatar var while it is their birthday, but it might confuse some people...

very nice hack :)

my members really apreciate it :)

Tnx

Here's a question for ya :)

I'm certain I can get one of my graphics artist to do something up and making it available for you to distribute with this hack :)

Basically what I'm thinking is making it countdown.

Like 7 days before their birthday, it shows a cake with 7 candles.
6 days before a cake with 6 candles
5 days before a cake with 5 candles etc
til the day of it would display a lil gif that said happy birthday

Something along those lines. :)

Possible? If so I'll sit down with a few of my artists and work on something, if you think you could do the coding. :)

Sure you can do something like that... originally I had the dates pushed into an array and just a "in_array" function, but I chose the loop method just so there was one less variable floating around... But instead of just checking if it is in the array, you can find where in the array and set the count-down date accordingly...

However, I think something like that might just cause confusion among people...

Something a little simpler was if it was the actual birthday then the cake would look different than if it was just a day during the week...
