Automatic Birthday Thread

This hack is inspired by the Birthday Hack for vB2 by Logician. It will automatically create a Happy Birthday thread in a specified forum, listing the people with birthdays for that day. Then other members can post their happy birthday wishes in the thread.

I had the original hack installed on my VB2 board and when I upgraded to VB3 my members missed it. Luckily, it's really easy to implement.

--------------------------------------
Files to modify: /includes/cron/birthday.php
--------------------------------------

Instructions are in the attached text file. The mod should take about 5 minutes.

Be sure to change the variables that say // CHANGE ME

You can customize the message in the $birthday_greeting_thread variable. You could also ad IMG tags with an image of some kind, like in my screenshot.

Note that you MUST turn on BB CODE in you birthday forum in order for this to work properly.
--------------------------------------
Enjoy (and thanks for the inspiration, Logician!)
--------------------------------------

New in Version 2.0:

Bug fixes:
> More accurate age calculation. Sometimes it was a year off.
> The correct thread shows up in the last thread post on the forum home page.
> HTML is not required to be turned on in the birthday forum.
> Most of the code is completely rewritten to vB3 standards.

New features:
> Improved look
> Birthday line now says: (User) was born on (date), (AGE: xx)
> If the year is not given, it says "Not telling! :)" for age.
> The admin is emailed a list of the birthdays with links to their profiles and a link to the happy birthday thread.
> If you use the uShop/uCash hack, you can give birthday points to the users

Upgrading:

Since the code has changed so drastically, I suggest starting with a fresh copy of birthday.php and following the instructions for a new install.

Very cool idea :)

Is it possible to specify only specific users groups that it selects birthdays from, and if not any possibility of the option in a future version?

I'd like to see this option as well. I have a news script that generats news on the main page of my site based on a specific forum id. We only post birthday news for Admins and Super Mods of the forum. All other birthday announcements go in my Gen Chat forum.

M.C.	03-18-2004 05:22 PM

i`d love to see instructions file attached to first post ;)

ChurchMedia

03-19-2004 01:38 AM

For those of you having errors, there were some spaces added to the queries when I pasted the code (??). I've attached instructions in a text format. Copy from there and it should work.

MK@spug.net: Nice addition

sabret00the: To create individual threads for each birthday, just move the step 3 code up underneath the $bday_people = .... line. It should work, but I haven't tried it.

As far as usergroups, I'm still getting the hang of VB3. :)

Enjoy,

Let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to improve this. I'd like to see:
1) The age calculated and shown
2) The birthday shown in this format: March 17, 1970
3) A link to the thread in their birthday email

Enjoy (and thanks for the inspiration and some code, Logician!)

Members pick up quite quickly that the thread is automated, and on a busy board you also end up with a forum full of the same topics.

I rather have a cron file that run once per month to insert a new thread for the birthdays of that month. This way members can congratulate and others have time to participate.

ChurchMedia

03-19-2004 04:48 AM

Actually, the topics change every day... e.g. "Happy Birthday to our members on DATE", etc. And with MK@spug.net's version it changes even more: "Happy Birthday to user, user, user on date". I set aside a sub-forum just for birthdays so it stacks up there. :)

Just curious, how are you testing this? I see some people saying they are getting errors? Wouldn;t it run behind the scenes via cron?

ChurchMedia

03-20-2004 05:24 PM

In your admin cp under scheduled tasks, you can choose to "run now" for any cron job. It's really useful for testing.

Enjoy,

The parsing errors have nothing to do with queries, but with this line:

$birthday_greeting_thread = <<< EOF

It is bad syntax. Its also bad coding form.

ChurchMedia

03-21-2004 01:40 AM

hmmm.... I see that method used all the time. It doesn't cause errors even if it's considered bad syntax. What would you suggest (aside from calling a vb template)? :ermm:

ChurchMedia

03-21-2004 02:23 AM

I did go ahead and change the $birthday_greeting_thread into a single line variable instead of using <<< EOF EOF; tags, but that format is used quite frequently. I'm not sure why it would cause an error. PhotoPost makes liberal use of this type of format and it's taught in PHP books.... ??? :ermm:

Great hack! I've got too many birthdays to print all the names in the title but I'm using the rest of MK@spug.net's changes. Very easy install on vb3 gold (if you're having errors check to see if your mysql insert has extra spaces).

Vb-Hispano

03-21-2004 03:17 PM

yes, working in gold

thanks :D

Platinumgamer

03-21-2004 03:26 PM

Hmm...this hack works fine on Gold, however the thread doesn't show up on the forumhome, just inside the forum. Also, the thread count doesn't rise when new threads are made. (I just installed this hack, so it only has one thread posted...yet the forum for the BDay threads still has '0' as the thread count...even though the reply count is there.

Is this supposed to happen, and can it be fixed?

Thanks!

ChurchMedia

03-21-2004 06:57 PM

Good point. I left out a couple of line of code from Logician's original hack. Add these lines right above // End Create Birthday Thread Hack

PHP Code:


		
			
// Updating Forum

$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,threadcount=threadcount+1,lastpost='".time()."',lastposter='".addslashes($greeter_name)."' WHERE forumid = $greetings_forum");

// Updating User's Post

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts+1 WHERE userid=$greeter");

I just tested it and it works. Credit goes to Logician :). I updated the original txt file.

// End Create Birthday Thread Hack

BE careful with these line if you're using table prefixes

then you have to change this:

HTML Code:

INSERT INTO thread to INSERT INTO yourprefix_thread

and this

HTML Code:

INSERT INTO post to INSERT INTO yourprefix_post

Maybe the author of this hack can change these lines to reflect installations which are using table prefixes :D

Strange, i ran the Happy Birthday email and got no errors but I had a birthday and gor a email :

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ter,dateline,iconid,visible,attach) VALUES (NULL,'Happy Birthda

Any ideas what is wrong??

Thanks!

ChurchMedia

03-22-2004 02:34 PM

Be sure to change the user id,user name and forum id variables. If they don't exist you will get an error. Looks like you might have used example variables (from MK@spug.net). Let me know if you still have problems after changing these:

$greeter=1; //Your User ID
$greeter_name="Your User Name"; //Your User Name
$greetings_forum=1; //enter the forum id that you want the thread to go into

To show the age (in years)...

In includes/cron/birthday.php find:

Code:

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

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

Below it add:

Code:

// Generate Age

                

                        if (!$year)

                        {

                                $year = vbdate('Y', TIMENOW, false, false);

Very cool! Thanks for that addition. Here's an addition to email the greeter when the thread is created (it will email the birthday greeting).

Find:

Code:

$greeter=1; //His User ID

The number (1) may be different.

Below that add:

Code:

$greetermail="youremail@yourdomain.com";

Change the email address to your own.

Find:

Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts=posts+1 WHERE userid=$greeter");

Below that add:

Code:

// email the admin

$birthday_greeting_thread=strip_tags($birthday_greeting_thread);

vbmail_start();

vbmail($greetermail, $title3, $birthday_greeting_thread);

vbmail_end();

Here's an addition to give users store points for their birthday:

Find:

Code:

$bday_title .= $username.", ";

Below that add:

Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET storep=storep+50 where userid='$userinfo[userid]'");

Be sure to change "storep" to the correct field for the store hack you are using. For the new uShop hack, look in your AdminCP to find out what to use there.

You can change the "50" to however many points you want to give for a birthday present. Be sure to mention the present in your birthday greeting. :)
