Birthday, User Age and Zodiac Hack (Working Version)
Version 1.2 by Boofo (and Logician)

A very big Thank You goes out to Logician for helping to make this hack a reality. Without his expert coding and guidance, it would never have been. And a thank you also goes out to Slynderdale for giving me the idea to make this hack. Although I could never get his hack to work, it gave me some general ideas of where to start from.

What this hack does:

This will allow you to have the user's age, zodiac sign and chinese zodiac sign in the profile. It will also allow you to have the variable filled in instead of showing nothing if no information was entered.

(NOTE: This birthday code will also fix the problem that some people have encountered with the birthdate not displaying the correct date if the users birthday was before December 31, 1969. This was only reported to happen on a few installations on certain servers.)

Version 1.0 - Originally written for vBulletin 2.2.5 without the images showing.
Version 1.1 - Updated to work with vBulletin 2.2.9 and added images for the zodiac signs.
Version 1.2 - Updated the instruction file to avoid anyone changing the wrong birthday code.

This hack has been tested on version 2.2.9.

Would we be able to put this info into a postbit?

It shouldn't be too hard to port it over to that. I can take a look at it and see what I can come up with. The image might be a little much for the postbit, though. What all do you want in the postbit? Erwin released a User Age hack for the postbit already. ;)

I want the symbol in the symbols in the post bit. I haven't looked at the pictures if they are big i'd make new ones that would be smaller for the postbit

The symbol? Please show me an image or something of what you mean.

images as in the zodiac symbols

Thanks for sharing :)

Installed, and works great.

Here is a screeny for anyone that wants to have a look:

LOL Thanks for the image. I knew I was forgetting something. Glad you like the hack. ;)

No prob. Posting a screenshot is the easy part, writing a hack like this...that's where it gets tricky, so thank you ;)

You're very welcome. Enjoy! ;)
