is there a hack for the birthday on the main page?

Ok i want on the main page of the forums juste below :

Welcome to our new......

Happy Birthday to "thename"

where when i click on "thename" i go to a page where i can send him a private message...

Can someone have that?

Using this hack will add one extra query to the main forums page (as you can see).

This can be avoided by doing a daily cron job, and updating a birthday template. Was it your hack that puts max on line by updating a template? That's a wonderful technique, especially when it can save queries! I've used to post total weight loss for my members (userfields) 3k and growing

Of course the cron solution won't catch new users whos birthday is the day theu register, but it can be called from the member.php as well.

Sorry about that bug... it's easy to miss out a concatonator when you've been awake for 30 hours

Are you E.T ?

Can you rewrite the code plz with fixed bugs. including the non-vB one. there's a few missed out semi-colons ( :P i have HARDLY any knowledge of php and i asked evrywhere in IRC to find what was wrong. Someone is Quakenet (#barrysworld) helped and saw it the VB version looks good and happy tho

to

eval ("\$todaybirthdays .= \"".gettemplate("calendar_showbirthdays")."\";");

That doesn't fix it completely. If you check my board today. I have 2 birthdays. Both are listed, BUT one of them shouldn't have the age along with it. It seems it just takes the age of the other birthday and attaches it to the one that should not have any age indication.

Listed on Calendar as :

KORYNTHYAN (23)
jokhis


Listed on front page as :

Happy Birthday to: KORYNTHYAN (23) jokhis (23)

i kno i have doen it me not sure if the non-vB works tho. is it right to say No Database Selected?

I've updated both bits of code on the first page of this thread with the relevant fixes for the age and repeat problems.

A database-not-selected message would mean that either the script can't find config.php, or that config.php has an invalid variable name for the database.
