That would rule.

mine still doesn't work.

Any updates ?

installed and thread get posted but when i try to acces the thread i get:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

what version you running? I have 3.5.3 and it doesn't work at all, but the options are in the ACP.

same here
which plugin?

Ive got same problem here, everything is installed ok but it's not making the thread.

I managed to get this working now, thanks i love it.

Cewl man! Works like a charm!

okay, installation worked as a charm... now for the generation of the thread...
it doesn't appear... i set the user to create to 1 (webadmin), but... when i run the cron, nothing happens... yes it does tell me it has completed... that's it.

Any ideas?

Is this even possible?

is it possible to have the thread closed automatically so it becomes more like an announcement post almost?

This plugin is working for me, but only if I execute it manually in the scheduled tasks. Running automatically it creates only the correct log entries, eg. Birthday "Thread created for x,x,x", but no thread at all. I'm using v1.0.1 of the Hack with vB 3.5.4

What's wrong?

I can't fix a problem that I can't reproduce :)
Though, feel free to send me a PM with all necessary logins (ACP, FTP, phpMyAdmin) and i'll take a look.

mine doesn't create a thread or anything

In the case of Phalynx it turned out to be this Hack:

Please check if this could be the issue for you too.

Works now for me, thanks.

Thanks, my members loved this on 3.0. :)

Thanks for the hack :)
No problems installing & it's working perfect.

One question though, on the 3.0.x version I was able to change the post icon used instead of the default, can I do that with this one? If so, can you point me in right direction? thanks

Is this Daylight Savings Times aware? I've had it working great for months. And just today I see it's posted a Birthday thread, but the title of the post it made had yesterday's date on it. Wondering if it has something to do with Sunday's DST change.

nope dont have that hack in my system

there is a hack( atleast i think there is) that when you post a thread it has an option to close it after the first post. i don't see why you can't alter that to do what you need....maybe i am worng and unfortunately i can't remember the hack/mod...sorry i will search and post here if i find it. at anyrate i know i have the option when i post the first post in a thread.

secondly i would like to say that i have this installed along with the birthday style and the birthday style hack....works beautifully!!!

omg I just reinstalled it and made me the thread starter and it worked. Maybe because I previously created a Birthday Bot user to do the announcing?

Hi there! First off I want to say thank you for this! What a wonderful idea :D

I have a small problem though, I have double checked to make sure that I have it going to the correct board, and it is still not there. Although it does show up on the main page of my site in the recent threads module, but shows no forum. When I click on the thread it takes me to an error page, obviously because there is no forum. So, how can I make the thread actually show up in the forum I wanted?

Thanks for any help!

is it possible to have vbbux cash as well as ucash as i don't have ucash installed.

vbbux gives a points donation on birthdays by default. :)

can you or someone update this to 3.6.0? thanks in advance if you do ;)

Does it not already work in 3.6? That'll keep me from upgrading for sure.

not for me....i wish it did :( db error when i install it....

The product.xml needs a little editing. If Andreas doesnt mind, I have modified this to work with 3.6 RC1 and will upload the changed xml file if it is ok.

I have tried to PM Andreas but the PM box is full. If Andreas reads this or anyone speaks to Andreas, I have ported this to work with 3.6 RC1 and would like to release it with permission from Andreas.

I noticed something strange with this hack and my current install of 3.5.3:

I disabled it in my AdminCP for a day... but noticed that it still posted Birthday threads.

I suspect that the Cron/scheduled task kicks in regardless, and since there's no way to "temporarily deactivate" a task (short of editing it's frequency, or deleting the task and adding it back later)... there's no way to temporarily disable this hack from doing it's job.

What I'll do now in the meantime is re-direct the posts to a hidden forum the few times I don't want it posting publicly.

But it would be nice if disabling the plug-in actually turned it off. Or if there was an on/off toggle in the setup/prefs for the add-on itself.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Ive had some problems, as in it won't run the thread by it self the schedule task thing dosen't work it seems like =\
I always have to run it manually..

hey try contacting Churchmedia he was the original coder.

I'm sure Andreas wouldn't care if you released it or not, but church may have something to add.

Managed to get things sorted yet Outlaw?

I'd really love this to run in 3.6.0 :)
