WORKS ON 3.6

I got this idea, as soon as I saw this style https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=109205, but so did other people!

Well anyway, in the admincp -> VBulletin Options -> Happy Birthday Style you can select the style you want to force on their birthday.

Again, If the code can be improved, please let me know

Let me know if it works for you guys or not!

Note: No need for screenshot since it changes the users style, if its their birthday and back the next day

How to install; login to admincp -> then import the product -> set the birthday style in the admincp -> happy birthday style

I am using this hack.

I imagine that is why this is not working since it starts the whole header in random. Not sure how I would edit this to accomodate the happy birthday on just the posters birthday.

This looks great!

But...
I have my forum inside Subdreamer portal.
I can still change a Forum Birthday Style, but there will be a problem with the logotype.

There is no problem if I put a Birthday pic on top, over the logo.
But I can´t change the default logo to a Birthday logo.

Am I right?????

This is only changing for admins on my site....not for regular users. Instead it changes their selected skin (I have 5 for them to choose from) to the forum default instead of the selected birthday skin. But for admins....it will switch from any style to the birthday skin. I have tested this with no cookies so I had to login, and on firefox and IE with the same results. I know I set the birthday correctly because the user I was testing with showed up as celebrating their birthday on the forumhome and in my vBaCMPS.

Ok...so put 1 & 1 together and what do you get....duh.

All hidden skins show up for admins all the time.

You can't hide the birthday skin from the users and then have it show up for them on their birthdays. I am sure there is a way around this I just haven't thought of it yet...I know I don't want this as a choosable skin, but I do want it displayed on their birthday.

caimakale; could you try the new version I just uploaded.

Disable the birthday style from user selection.

The birthday style should not appear, even though you have enabled user selection of other styles, only problem users still can't change the style until the end of the birthday.

I have v1.2 of this plugin and am having the same problem. I have disabled the user selection of the birthday style and it does not show up on their list. However, you cannot load the style directly by going to http://www.hidingplace.com/vbb350/index.php?styleid=5

This means that on their birthday, it does not work either.

Ideas?

it doesnt mean that, I suggest creating a test user.

How do I make it so that I can use my brthday stylewith this plugin and not allow my users to select the style. It seems I cannot have it both ways.

[-=Sniper=-]

you can! have you disabled the user selection of the style and created a test user to see if it works???

it has nothing to do with the way you change styles so using http://www.hidingplace.com/vbb350/index.php?styleid=5 is testing nothing.

D'Oh! I was wrong. Sorry. It is working fine.
