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

Awesome idea! As soon as I finish creating a new style for user's birthdays I'll be installing this.

Hello,
First: Allow me to say awesome idea!
Second: I have a question!

I am currently using one style on my forum. If i install this along with another style for birthdays, can i leave my current style forced on the rest of my users?

Example: Today is John Doe's Birthday, so the birthday style is forced on him. But no one else can use the birthday style, meaning they cant even choose it in the style chooser if they wanted to...

I want to force a birthday style on the person celebrating a birthday, while enforcing my current style on everyone else! Is this possible?

I hope i am making sense with my question...Thank you in advance!

Its a default vb feature I think, somewhere in the admincp theres a option to set, so users can't select styles. (I think anyway)

It works as you described.

Other suggestions have been great, I think its possible but I don't have the time to work on it (as I would have to learn more php/mysql) because of uni work/exams.

I think maybe adding a field to the events section would be better, so if you want you can assign styleid/s to any event you want?

-=Sniper=-, thank you for your reply. Yes, there is a vB option to not allow members to choose other styles. I currently am using that option. I was just worried that by not allowing members to choose a different style, that it may interfere with the forced birthday style. I am happy to know it will not interfere...

Thank you for answering my question. Be well -

How can you tell if this is working? I hate to sound dumb, but I installed it and then tried setting my birthday to today, and it didn't work.... What do I have to change to make the correct style come up (you are talking to a total novice here.....sorry!)

[-=Sniper=-]

yes, thats how you would test it.

I just tested mine and it works (changing my DOB to today), anyway make sure that you have a valid Style ID set in the admincp.

(edit: its possible, there might be a problem with date formats, but I think its unlikely)

anyway, if it doesnt work, PM with admincp details and I'll check it out.

Sorry, but how do I determine the style ID. I've installed this and have no idea how to determine this or what it is.

[Rickie3]

wow i love it and using it *installed*

[-=Sniper=-]

I will update it so, you can select the style from a dropdown menu, so no need to worry about the style id.

Edit: updated, now you can select the style from the dropdown in admincp -> happy birthday style
