Totally agree Cigarcritic :)

Seriously, HUGE problem with this mod. I have 12 instances of Happy Birthday threads for Today's birthday, and the Greeter also posted 8 additional instances of YESTERDAY'S birthdays. 20 threads, wtf?

How about making it a cron job instead? That way there's some error logging, if you want to make it run at a certain time it can be tweaked, if someone downloads it and installs it on their site then they can click "Run Now" to make a thread immediately instead of having to wait until Midnight for the 20 new threads to be created.

I'll leave it installed for now, just disabled. It's something I was really missing as there was a similar product for 3.5 that my users loved, but they didn't love the 20 new spam threads last night :D

v1.3 - Aug 31. 2007.
-Option to synchronize hack with forum time to avoid situations where birthday thread is created too early or too late

To upgrade: Import product XML, allow overwrite.

the above grammatical error is still there. their needs to be added for the single instance.;)

*cough* :)

More quality from Cyb.

cheers Mate!!

It would be great to have an option to create a thread for each user who has birthday, because this ist the way we are doing it now manually. Any chance to see this ?

I have tried to get it working with 3.6.3, but there is no way to get it working. There is no thread created. I have tried every option but it doesn't works. Are there any ideas why ?

nice product i will installed right now

can you add only for active members

you don't want to open 30 thread when only 2 or 3 on that date are active members

Awesome mod, thanks! Installed and working great on 3.6.8. Thanks!!!

Feature request: I'd love to have the thread include the user's avatar in the thread. Please? I'm happily using Andreas' hack, and that's the only thing I'm missing, and would really love. If this hack could include the user's avatar in the bday thread I'd switch to this one for sure...

Thanks for sharing!

This is a great idea...

This works well, except the message that it creates does not convert the color code to color...

HTML and BB Code is turned on in the post.

Can you help?

Check usergroup settings and remove unneeded spaces in opening tag.

If it's:
color: yellow
change it to:
color:yellow

or if it's:
color=" yellow"
change it to
color="yellow"

Unneeded spaces will be removed automatically in next version.

Wow nicely called... sure enough I had a space between ":" and color attribute.

Thanks much, you clearly are on the ball.

nice one Cyb!

installed on our forum, running 3.6.5

however I do believe it's not working correctly

in here - Greeter(s) (comma separated UserID list)

I added these - 1,2,3,4,6,11,35,59,97

but only one post was created by only one of the member id's

and that was by the last one on the list # 97



any ideas why this happened, for now I will just use the number 1 id, and not add any more id's

I was under the assumption, that the id's added to the greeters line, would show up on the post as the ones wishing the happy birthday to the individual, I only see it coming from one of my staff to the birthday member

Never mind, found the answer......ohhh well....

hello i received thos error message when i was testing it out


this worked on my version .6.7 i upgraded it to .8 when this caused an error

I think it is better to write this word from the small letter:

Thanks you very much

Quick install. Thanks!

Thank you very much for another great add-on! :) Installed

Do I use spaces between UserID's when using multiple ones for the random "Greeter"?

Firstly, Another great mod thanks Cyb..

However, my server is in the US and I'm in Australia. this is what I have set the time to:

Server Time:
September 30, 2007 18:02

Time used by hack:
October 1, 2007 06:02

But it is still 3 hours behind and +12 is as far as the hack will allow. Is it possible to add more time difference setting to help. If this hack post as it is set now people will be seeing the happy birthday thread at 9:00 pm the day before..

Cheers.

Nathan.

mines usally starts at 12am -5 eastern time and has not opened a new thread yet and it's 7:25 am now.

Thanks, i installed it ! Great Mod !

hi, (thanks for "cyb mods")

i install this hack. but dont see greet thread in 2 day.
whether i manual start this scheduling?

(my forum version : 3.6.8 patch 2)

Thanks Cool Mod

*Installed*

I am locking for a birthday-greeter that will post one thread per user that has birthday on the same day.

thanks testing this

why does it post users birthday multiple times? i mean auto create 2-3 threads

Uninstalled. 3.7 Beta 3 creates duplicate threads. I'll wait until it's supported on 3.7 B3.

Interesting... I have 3.7 beta 3 installed and it only creates a single thread on my site.

Installed on 3.6.8 pl2

If I remove the phrase for age and year would that cause any problems or just not show it? I would rather it just show the user names.
