includes/cron/birthday.php hook?

I have a little script that generates a coupon for users celebrating birthdays. I think it's best to convert it to a plug-in, but I don't see a relevant hook to pull everything together. It needs to run for each user, so I think the hook should be within the loop in birthday.php that sends out each e-mail.

Can I just create a custom hook? Pardon me for asking, but I can't find where this is possible. From what I've read, it looks like I have to request a hook at vbulletin.com for inclusion in a later version. Hopefully, I'm wrong!

Thanks for your guidance,

Jen

Why not just toss it inside the birthday cron?

That's where I have it now, works A-OK, but it's sort of a pain to cut and paste with each and every upgrade. Just looking for a cleaner solution. Thanks! :)

You could use the cron_complete hook.

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($nextitem['varname'] == 'birthday')
{
   the birthday cron was executed complete so generate coupon...
}

I think that should work
