Auto Email/PM for Birthday Greetings Hack. Are you interested?
 

Hiyas,

I am on the verge of completing a hack which will automatically send greeting private messages or emails (or BOTH) to your members who have birthdays.

The code has a complex algorithm so before releasing it I want it tested extensively. I know that I could publish the hack in BETA Releases board, but IMO that board does not work as it should be. I had published 2 of my hacks in that board before to get some feedback about how they were doing in other's boards, but despite my insistent requests, I got none. :speechless:

So instead of making the hack publicly available to all, I wanted be tested by a small group who will really interested in the hack and return some feedback to me to get it improved.

If you want to test it and will return comments to me, please provide me with your email so that I can send you the hack.

A few important notes:

1- You will not get a "non-complete" or "too buggy" hack. I'm now testing the ALPHA version in my local test board and as for beta I will first install it to my "original board", make sure it's working and then I'll send it to you as a BETA tester. You will get a code that have been tested and proved succesful in my original board. However you can test it in your test board if you wish, your call..(If not, backup db anyway!)

2- This hack will NOT require CRON jobs, so anybody can use it.

3- Installation will NOT be a pain in the neck. 4 Steps and you're done..

4- Version of your board should not be a problem either. (provided that it's 2.x.x)

Thank you!

YES .. simple answer... i wud love this hack...

Yes, good idea!
Logician, i will install this hack after release ;)

Sounds really cool...If your still accepting beta testers let me know...

Dark_Wizard yes..I've finished the hack and installed it in my original board and it's working without any problems.. And it would be nice if someone else tries in his board too. So I'm still accepting beta testers. Please send me your email address so that I can send you the hack.. Thank you.. :)

Some screenshots attached (maybe it can motivate you to try the hack) :)

The private message user gets: (send automatically by the hack of course!)

The daily greeting report Admin gets (optional) about when and how the hack celebrated member's birthdays..

I love this hack !! I want have it !! :cool:

When do you want to release the first public version?

Thanks !

Never unless someone helps me testing it out..

5 people asked me to be beta testers and I sent them the code and I got no response in return at all.. :ermm:

I use the hack in my board now and I have no problems at all. But I just want to be sure it's perfectly ok before releasing it since it's algorithm is not very simple (installation is easy though) So I really need some feedback about how it is doing, any problems etc. from other people.. It's even ok to get a message with 3 words: "intalled, no problems"..This is actually what "beta testing" is lol..

I hate to disappoint people who is waiting for the hack but if nobody helps out, I am not going to release it, sorry..

Regards,
Logician

I would like to test your script ! I would send you my feedback after the installation!
