Only members that allow their date of birth to be displayed will be listed, and age will be shown only for those who has choosen that. Members are shown in colors defined in usergroup settings.

Thanks Great Hack As Usual

This is awesome :) Installed.

Can we have the option to include only those users who have posted at least 1 post at the board? Also, is this possible to automatically add a URI of the birthday thread to the email that vbulletin sends on user's birthday?

Much thanks.

To upgrade: Import product XML, allow overwrite.

Sorry, but does this work on 3.6.7 ?

And if not, could it be converted ?

Thank's in advance.

KK

It works with all 3.6.x releases.

3.5.x too.

w00t thanks for this! I have been waiting ever since upgrading from 3.5 to 3.6.

Yes it does, i tested it and works fine, thank's.

Another question : you put dates like mm-dd and in Portugal we use tham as dd-mm.

Could this be changed ?

KK

Can you get it to post in a thread as well.

if not can this be added

Cool, Thanks :)

thanks, install

Works with 3.6.4 ?

It creates new thread. Is that what you are asking for?
Mark as installed.
This was already asked and answered. Hack works with all 3.5.x and 3.6.x releases.

====================

And here is a new version...

v1.2 - Aug 28. 2007.
-Date format follows your forum acp settings
-New: Option to exclude members joined in last X days
-Another fix for duplicate birthday threads on some forums

To upgrade: Import product XML, allow overwrite.

This been needed for a very long time.

Is there anyway to set it to users that have been active on the forums in X amount of days.

Ok thanks. :) I'll probably get this soon...

curious... this hack only creates a thread if the user who's birthday it is actually logs into the forum on that day; if that user does not log into the forums on their birthday no thread will be created?

No, If it's there B-day it a create it, they don't have to show up for this thread to be created

scratch that... it works. i had another plugin test running that was interferring with this one. i also found one minor grammatical error:

should read...

add "their" between "celebrating ### birthday". ;)

Following members will be excluded:
-Those who choose in usercp to not show birthday info to others
-Those who are members of usergroups where we have disabled option "Birthdays Viewable"
-Those who are inactive (if we choose in hack options to exclude them)
-Those who has less than X posts (if we choose in hack options to exclude them)
-Those who joined in last X days (if we choose in hack options to exclude them)

Following usergroups are automatically excluded:
-Users Awaiting Email Confirmation (3)
-Users Awaiting Moderation (4)
-Banned Users (8)

thnx for that info. i also posted one grammatical error above; very minor.

There are already two different phrases for that.

cybabgreeter_message_user
cybabgreeter_message_users

Check phrase shortcuts in hack settings.

Can an option be given so that this mod creates a post in an existing thread rather that creating a new thread each time?

That would be a big improvement to the mod I think.

:up:

really nice, installed and clicked :)

Is it possible to use in the subject a variable, which fills in the username?

thx

you have created the perfect modification!!
ive wondered for ages when some one would create this.
deffinately installed and nominated for mod of month

Nice thank you !

This appears to post at 5pm at night, by which time one of my members has already started a thread. Can we make it post at 6a instead? How would i change this?

Not possible with the current version.

It follows server time.

In next version I'll add an option to adjust this (set +/- x hours from server time).

Nice job! Installed. Thanks.

still having multiple threads posted )

So what time does it post?

It is possible because it's done it 2 days in a row now :)

Thanks for that report. It would be pointless to use this mod as my users would beat this hack to posting. IMO, it should fire at 12:01am.
