Birthday Cake in postbits for all b-days for the week · **Released**: 05-12-2003

I searched high and low for something that would display a little birthday cake (or even text) in the postbits when it was someones birthday and came up empty, so I wrote my own with a twist. I decided to have it display a cake for anyones birthday for the entire week (week being Sun-Sat). That way they get a little more recognition that just on their actual b-day.

This should work with all versions of vB...

All you have to do is add a couple lines of code to your admin/functions.php and add the variable to your postbits.

Simple!

I just used the bday cake from MSN Messenger Page I'm not posting it here for legal reasons. If you want it to display just text you can change the line accordingly...

Like I said, I don't know if this has been done before, but my searches came up with nothing when searching for "birthday".

Enjoy.

Aye, your prolly right about the confusion.

And that would be kewl, to have a different IMG for the day of

Do you know what mods I would need to make to the hack to do that?

I'll work on it tomorrow Cyricx, it should take about 5-10min for me to write & test and I'll update the .txt file with that option.

I've been really sick these past couple days so I've just been in bed most of the time (it seems like I have been getting sick a lot lately). But hopefully tomorrow I'll be up for doing a little work.

I stated in my first post that I just nabbed the one from the MSN messenger page (link was provided). You can just google for some birthday cake image, or use text, it's up to you.

Cyrx, okay I updated the code, it was actually easier than I thought, I just combined to two code bits using and if/else statement... lol...

So now you can have one display during the week, and one on their actual birthday.

I love the concept of this and have installed it on my boards but my problem is that only admins and mods can see it. Regular members don't even know its there. What do I need to do so that everyone can see it. I used the option where it only displays on the day of their birthday.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
