I'd like to embed a Happy Birthday midi for users who log on on their birthday.

Any takers?

Well it's not exactly pretty, but it seems to work !

Create a new template called "birthdayhack", it's basically a copy of the "forumhome_birthdaybit" template with the midi file inserted.

Insert the following text

<bgsound src="midi/happy.mid" loop="-1"><hr>Today's Birthdays: $birthdays

Create a new folder under your forum root called "midi" and place the "happy.mid" in it.

Then backup your index.php file, and make the following modifications.

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if ($birthdays) {

    eval("\$birthdaybits = \"".gettemplate("forumhome_birthdaybit")."\";");

  }

and replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if ($birthdays) {

    if (eregi($username,$birthdays)) {

    eval("\$birthdaybits = \"".gettemplate("birthdayhack")."\";");

    }

    else {

    eval("\$birthdaybits = \"".gettemplate("forumhome_birthdaybit")."\";");

    }

  }

Using the <bgsound> tag means it only works with Internet Explorer, but i'm happy with that.

If any real PHP coders want to improve it please do.
