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

also what if the users birthday is on the same day as the holiday, which do you want first, or shall i let the admins decide?

:banana: I would love to see something like that!!!

Edit: Oh yea: Installed!!! I am using it on a 3.5.2 vB

Here is a list of holidays you might consider in the new version (Some I know may be hard to work out (Labor Day & Thanksgiving):


New Year's Day, January 1st.
Groundhog Day, February 2.
Valentine's Day, February 14.
St. Patrick's Day, March 17.
April Fools's Day, April 1.
Easter (here is a complicated way at doing easter calcs http://www.assa.org.au/edm.html#Method)
Memorial Day, last Monday in May
Flag Day, June 14th.
United States of America's Independence Day, July 4.
Labor Day, first Monday in September.
Columbus Day (traditional), October 12.
United Nations Day, October 24.
Halloween, October 31.
Election Day, Tuesday on or after November 2.
Veterans Day, November 11th
Thanksgiving Day, fourth Thursday in November.
Christmas Day, December 25th.

Now, I found this page that might help calculate some of the funky days...

Pehaps a table with dates w/ year would work (IE Easter http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/easter.html )

very nice. works like a charm. *installed.

i do have one question though. i have a 2nd navbar plugin that doesn't show up in the birthday style. i didn't have to edit code to make it work on the default style though. i believe it was a product that was imported. will i have to manually update the navbar code for this style? (it's the first style i've added so far)

[-=Sniper=-]

the style isn't mine (you can use any style you want) but yes you will have to edit it.

[Dr.Viggy]

yeah i actually decided to give it about 10 seconds of work and time after i posted that and all is well now. i guess that's what i get for asking first and looking later. great style, looks cool

Just released a holiday/style/birthday style manager here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117353

I was wondering something,

But since I am a total nubber on vb... is it possible to duplicate the current style you have, and add something like the snow for xmas on that style only, of course replace the flakes with pies or presents or whatever you like...

Can this be done?
