question... in the usergroup management, the "Viewable on Show Groups" MUST be set on "yes" in order for this hack to work? Or it doesn't matter either it is yes or no?

[Valter]

It doesn't matter how you set that option.

Ciao Cyb,

this hack works perfectly on 371 ty.

just the date have an issue.

unfortunatelly with this mod I have an issue with languages setting.

Note : % solution on date format was suggested by you for another hack (stats)
i have inserted in time/date format the trailing % (eg. %d-%....) and for that specific hack is the only way to let it work properly but some others your hacks wont interpreter the correct format.

any hint?

regards

ciao

I am having the same issue, any thoughts/suggestions.

[Valter]

Be noted that:
- only members that allow their date of birth to be displayed will be listed
- inactive members are excluded by default

Check hack settings...

Just chang in the XML :

$cabg_message = construct_phrase($cabg_message_sp,$cybabgreeter_totalusers,date($vbulletin->options['dateformat']),$cabg_birthdays);

Replace by :

$cabg_message = construct_phrase($cabg_message_sp,$cybabgreeter_totalusers,vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat']),$cabg_birthdays);

one question: how can i make it so, that it creates a new post in an exsting thread and not a new thread ?
