If the number of days for birthdays goes past the end of the year the block is not included.

Here's some offending code:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $btoday = date("m-d");

    if ($daysaffect == "1") {

        $bdaysprune = date("m-d",(time()+$eventdays*86400));

    } else {

        $bdaysprune = date("m-d",(time()+200*86400));

    }

The dates need to be changed to include the year.

How can I automatically include headers and footers in the generated email?

Here's the repaired code. I tested it on my board, and found and fixed another flaw.

Changed birthday code to correctly handle end of year roll-over
Separated the date headline and age calculation code

PHP Code:


		
			
    // do birthdays

    if ($numbirthdays) {

        // Accomodate end of year roll-over

        if ($btoday >= $bdaysprune) {

            $users = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE SUBSTRING(birthday,6)>'00-00' AND (SUBSTRING(birthday,6)>='$btoday' OR SUBSTRING(birthday,6)<='$bdaysprune') ORDER BY SUBSTRING(birthday,6) LIMIT 0,$numbirthdays");

        } else {

            $users = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE SUBSTRING(birthday,6)>='$btoday' AND SUBSTRING(birthday,6)<='$bdaysprune' ORDER BY SUBSTRING(birthday,6) LIMIT 0,$numbirthdays");

        }

        if ($DB_site->num_rows($users)) {

            $thisyear = date("Y");

            $birthdayspreview = "$dashes\nFORTHCOMING BIRTHDAYS:\nto view the calendar, click the link below:\n$bburl/calendar.php\n$dashes\n";

            // $birthdayspreview .= "DEBUG: btoday: $btoday   bdaysprune: $bdaysprune\n";

            while ($user = $DB_site->fetch_array($users)) {

                $datebits = explode("-", $user[birthday]);

                if (substr($user[birthday],6) != substr($lastbirthday,6)) {

                    $currentdate = date($calformat2, mktime(0,0,0,$datebits[1],$datebits[2],0));

                    $birthdayspreview .= "\n$currentdate:\n";

                }

                if ($datebits[0] != "0000") {

                    $age = " (".($thisyear - $datebits[0]).")";

                } else {

                    $age = "";

                }

                $birthdayspreview .= " $lic $user[username]$age - $bburl/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$user[userid]\n";

                $lastbirthday = $user[birthday];

            }

            $birthdayspreview .= "\n\n";

        }

    }

Due to some personal/computer problems (namely my hard drive trying to eat itself) this is not going to be out for a while. I am setting a target of the end of January but no promises.

I installed this hack and have two problems.

Problem 1: The icon for the post is a dead image link, you know the white with the red X. That's what I am getting on the post. I set it to also post the update to a post, and that's when it gives this error.

Problem 2: I have a user (a mod in fact) that has a }{ and in the update that was posted into a thread it did this:

So it started that line of ---- without finishing his name. Can this be fixed? It looks like it cutout most of the actual message, because I set each block to ten posts and it didn't do it, so I think his name caused it to not show MOST of the community update.

Can somebody please help me on this?

Thanks in advance.

Dear tubedogg or somebody else !!

Can you help me with the following:

I use this generator also to mail a weekly newsletter with several articles in it made by my members.
There is also a game review in this newsletter.

What I want and my members too, that I can submit graphics with the articles in this newsletter to all my members.

I think that the picture(s) doesn't need to be actual submitted in this newsletter, maybe with a link trick where the pictures are on my server so that they still show up in the newsletter.
I hope you understand what I try to ask here.

Please help me out on this, we want this option so badly.

any news on the next release? maybe someone else can take over where these guys left off if they don't have time to finish it up

When I go to my edit panel to unselect the option of getting this bulletin I don't see any dot in the circle of the radio button, when I click on it the dot will be placed, after storing the settings and going back to the edit panel the dot is gone !

Anybody has an idea where this error could be ?

tubedogg...where's the new release? :(
