Send User a PM on Birthday
 
Ok, I made a little hack to send users a PM on their Birthday.

Fixed

First, make a new file, pmbday.txt, and chmod it to 777.

Next open index.php and add this code:

Quote:
// send PM if Birthday
$message = "Your message here.\n";
$title = "Happy Birthday!!";
$username = $bbuserinfo['username'];

if(vbdate('m-d', time()) == substr($bbuserinfo['birthday'], 5)){
$file = file("pmbday.txt");
while(list(,$value) = each($file)){
list($user, $date) = explode("|", $value);
if($username == $user){
}else{

$touserid = $bbuserinfo['userid'];

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid, userid,touserid, fromuserid, title, message, dateline, showsignature, iconid, messageread, folderid, receipt) VALUES (NULL,$touserid,$touserid,1,'$title','$message',". time().",0,0,0,0,0)");

if($noshutdownfunc){
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET pmpopup=2 WHERE userid=$touserid");
}else{
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY user SET pmpopup=2 WHERE userid=$touserid";
}

$date = date("m.d.y");
$fp = fopen("pmbday.txt", a);
fputs($fp, "$username|$date|\n");
fclose($fp);
}
}
}
You can add it pretty much anywhere in index.php.

If you have questions or comments, feel free to post them.

Hmm what happens if the user doesn't accept cookies?

Oh they get a pm for every view of index.php ;)

wooolF[RM] 04-02-2002 09:55 PM
]good idea for spamming.... :D ;)

I think this hack needs a switch to specify the birthday PM as having already been sent. :)

how about sending the PM when the system updates the birthday-templates once per day (first hit after midnight) ?
search for "if ($showbirthdays) {" in your index.php and for "function getbirthdays() {" in admin/functions.php
I'd change the while-loop inside getbirthdays() to send the PM or create a new function wich is called from within that loop.
Maybe You can create new templates for the message and the title and give fromuserid its own variable to let the admin decide which userid is the sender of this message.

I'd make this changes on my own, but i don't have the time and melondog needs to learn ;)
