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.

Nice work Boofo ...

Now it would be great to add a clear image in the image placeholder for those members that don't want to share their age! That *blank* image placeholder looks out of place!

[Boofo]

On my site, I use Logician's Dynamic Templates hack and just have the whole line not show if there isn't a birth year entered. I suppose I could go in and do a space fix for that, unless you have an image to replace that.

Update!

There is a broken image if the birth year is not entered in the profile. To fix this, do the following:

In member.php, find:

$zodiacimage=$zodiacsign.".gif";

And replace it with:

[disable]$zodiacimage = "<img src=\"{imagesfolder}/zodiac/$zodiacsign.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$zodiacsign\" align=\"absmiddle\">";[/disable]

In the getinfo template, find:

<tr>
[disable] <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Zodiac Sign:</b></normalfont></td>[/disable]
[disable] <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><img src="{imagesfolder}/zodiac/$zodiacimage" border="0" alt="$zodiacsign" align="absmiddle"></td>[/disable]
</tr>

And replace it with:

<tr>
[disable] <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Zodiac Sign:</b></normalfont></td>[/disable]
[disable] <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">$zodiacimage</td>[/disable]
</tr>

Thanks for catching that.

In member.php, find this:

PHP Code:

if ($user_age<1 OR $user_age>100 OR !$user_age)
{
$user_age="Can not define without a complete birthdate.";
} 


and replace it with this:

PHP Code:

if ($user_age<1 OR $user_age>100 OR !$user_age)
{
$user_age='';
} 


I'll update the install file.

the only thing this is missing is gender, then it'd be perfect
