Birthday, User Age and Zodiac Hack v1.2 (Working Version)

Birthday, User Age and Zodiac Hack (Working Version)
Version 1.2 by Boofo (and Logician)

A very big Thank You goes out to Logician for helping to make this hack a reality. Without his expert coding and guidance, it would never have been. And a thank you also goes out to Slynderdale for giving me the idea to make this hack. Although I could never get his hack to work, it gave me some general ideas of where to start from.

What this hack does:

This will allow you to have the user's age, zodiac sign and chinese zodiac sign in the profile. It will also allow you to have the variable filled in instead of showing nothing if no information was entered.

(NOTE: This birthday code will also fix the problem that some people have encountered with the birthdate not displaying the correct date if the users birthday was before December 31, 1969. This was only reported to happen on a few installations on certain servers.)

Version 1.0 - Originally written for vBulletin 2.2.5 without the images showing.
Version 1.1 - Updated to work with vBulletin 2.2.9 and added images for the zodiac signs.
Version 1.2 - Updated the instruction file to avoid anyone changing the wrong birthday code.

This hack has been tested on version 2.2.9.

The difference between this code and yours is that it had to be re-written and corrected to work like it is supposed to. I wasn't going to release it but I saw people were still having problems with your new version. I credited you in the file, my friend.

My updated code is also template driven for easy editing online, I uploaded the fixed 2.0 quite a while ago and it works well, I tested it on a few boards.

Hmm, only one person had a problem with it because they copied the code in a wrong please, Im not trying to be mean or any thing, and Im not mad or any thing. Good work though with fixing this.

I've many hacks installed and my birthdaycode looks a bit different and i can't replace it with the code from this hack because it then displayed no birthdaybits anymore and wrong dates. Can you make it work with this??

    // Set birthday fields right here!
     if ($bbuserinfo[birthday] == '0000-00-00') {
        $daydefaultselected = "selected";
        $monthdefaultselected = "selected";
     } else {
        $birthday = explode("-",$bbuserinfo[birthday]);
        $dayname = "day".$birthday[2]."selected";
        $$dayname = "selected";
        $monthname = "month".$birthday[1]."selected";
        $$monthname = "selected";
        if (date("Y")>$birthday[0] && $birthday[0]!='0000')
           $year = $birthday[0];
     }
     eval("\$birthday = \"".gettemplate("register_birthday")."\";");
  } else {
		$birthday = '';
	}

You're in the wrong section of the member.php. You need to be in the "start get info" section.

Great! When you 2do it, don't forget the (c)lick install.

:shame: Thanks Boofo. I hope you can let this also work in the postbit. Great hack.

-- ow...i'm a rat not an ox. How to change that?

What is your birthdate?
