Nice hack.

I have it installed and working, but I am seeing all of the HTML code surrounding the birthday people. Does HTML have to be enabled in the forum for this to work properly?

Also, what do I need to do to change the subject of the thread. I have LOTS of members and having all of the user names in the subject line is way too much clutter.

Thank you.

Rick

I guess so. The other option is to take out the HTML and forgo the links to their profiles. I think you could use /n for line breaks (???).

The easiest thing to do is replace:

$title3.= $bday_title;

with:

$title3.= "our members";

That would make the subject "Happy Birthday to our members on whateverdate".

Enjoy!

Thank you. That did it :D

works very fine here, thx. mate !

Code:

$birthdays = $DB_site->query("

        SELECT username, email, languageid, posts, userid, birthday

Find:

Code:

        $emails .= iif($emails, ', ');

        $emails .= $userinfo['username'];

Below it add:

Code:

$posts = $userinfo[posts];

Find:

Code:

// Create Birthday Thread Hack

Below it add:

Code:

if ($posts>='1')

{

You can change the "1" in the code above to whatever you want the minium posts for birthday threads to be

Find:

Code:

// End Create Birthday Thread Hack

Above it add:

Code:

}

If you also want to limit the birthday threads & emails to users who have visited the site within the time set in your admin panel for showing birthdays on forum home do this:

In birthday.php find:

Code:

$birthdays = $DB_site->query("

Above it add:

Code:

        if ($vboptions['birthdaydatecut'])

        {

                $datecut = TIMENOW - (intval($vboptions['birthdaydatecut']) * 86400);

                $activitycut = "AND lastactivity >= $datecut";

        }

        else

        {

                $activitycut = '';

        }

Find:

Code:

    (options & $_USEROPTIONS[adminemail]) AND 

    usergroupid IN ($ids) 

");

Replace it with:

Code:

        (options & $_USEROPTIONS[adminemail]) AND

        usergroupid IN ($ids) $activitycut

");

This doesn't work for me.
If only users with zero posts has birthday on a day this addition works, but if other users with more than zero post has also birthday a greating thread is generated and also the zero posters are greated !

any idea?

I fixed the problem with the following database query:

PHP Code:


		
			
$birthdays = $DB_site->query("

    SELECT username, email, languageid, posts, userid, birthday

    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user

    WHERE birthday LIKE '$today-%' AND

    (options & $_USEROPTIONS[adminemail]) AND

    usergroupid IN ($ids) AND posts >20

");

iam having problems i have done the hack as in the download and today this was made as a post not as the screenie shows.
Also a side effect has happened, in my admin panel in forums and moderator the options in the controls ie edit, delete have disappeared but when i delete the post the options have reappeared.

this is how the post was displayed.

Dear Forum,<br><br>Here are today's birthdays!<br><br><a href="member.php?u=124">RUGGY</a>, born 06-28-1938
<a href="member.php?u=54">RONNIEBI</a>, born 06-28-1941

Any ideas

Looks like you need to turn on HTML for your birthday forum. Then the HTML code will disappear.

That second problem is a new one to me. Are you listing yourself as the poster?

Sorted the first second one seems to have gone away strange

Hi there,

the post is done very well in my 3.0.3er Version but the Thread does not get a title on the forumhome.

Take a look at my screen and you will see!
