Birthday Thread and PM generator · **Released**: 05-15-2011

<a href="http://www.AusPhotography.net.au" target="_blank">www.AusPhotography.net.au</a> Birthday Thread and PM generator

This product provides a simple way to create both an automatic Birthday greeting thread and forum member birthday PM.

Features:

1. Configurable greeting text with name, age (optional), and birthday
2. Excludable usergroups (eg. banned etc)
3. Creates a thread in selectable forum and sends a PM from selected user (admin or other)
4. Runs as a vBulletin scheduled task (vB cron job)
5. Honours forum members birthday profile settings
6. Only sends birthdays for members with recent forum activity (configurable)
7. Adjusts for forum members time-zone so the greeting will be on their birthday

Uses:

1. Creates a Database table to track birthday processed
2. One additional file vBulletin scheduled task (vB cron job)
3. Product installation file

Installation:

1. Copy ap_birthday.php to the forum ./includes/cron directory
2. Install the product file
3. Configure it via AdminCP/Settings/Options
4. Disable the vBulletin birthday emailer in AdminCP / Scheduled tasks
Done!

Enjoy! It will probably work on vB3.6+ as well.

Update 2013-04-12: Working with 4.2.0
Update 1.1.2 if zero active post use 'lastactivity' instead (bugfix)

It's not the Forum post that has the error, it is the PM that is sent to the user.

I only noticed it because it was my B-day the other day and I saw what got sent to users and I noticed the error.

Let me know what you need me to send you to correct the PM that is sent

In the options for the plugin, copy the text that makes up the message and PM that to me in [code] tags

Hi,

Unfortunately I had to uninstall this from my site.

Too many complaints for all the individual threads created each day.

The consensus was that they wanted the daily birthdays combined into one post.

It's a great mod and I thought it would have been nice to publicly wish everyone a HB for everyone to see rather than just in PM like what the built in function does.

However, on my site, I guess some people just don't share the same sentiment.

Can this be configured to only send a PM? I'd rather not have threads created.
