Birthday Cake in postbits for all b-days for the week · **Released**: 05-12-2003

I searched high and low for something that would display a little birthday cake (or even text) in the postbits when it was someones birthday and came up empty, so I wrote my own with a twist. I decided to have it display a cake for anyones birthday for the entire week (week being Sun-Sat). That way they get a little more recognition that just on their actual b-day.

This should work with all versions of vB...

All you have to do is add a couple lines of code to your admin/functions.php and add the variable to your postbits.

Simple!

I just used the bday cake from MSN Messenger Page I'm not posting it here for legal reasons. If you want it to display just text you can change the line accordingly...

Like I said, I don't know if this has been done before, but my searches came up with nothing when searching for "birthday".

Enjoy.

I'm all out of ideas here guys, can someone please give me a hand here. The code (hack) is working great except my registered members can't see it. Only mods and admins can. What do I need to change to make it to where everyone can see it?

I installed it and it works like a charm. I installed the version where you see one image the week before the birthday, and then on the day of the actual birthday, you see a different image.

All of my members can see the week of image, but only moderators and admins can see the day of image.

I would love for this to be corrected too so that everyone can see the day of image =)

Where does $bdaycake go?

LadyBeth · #37 09-28-2003, 09:22 PM

Can teh cake be added to more than just the user as they appear in the thread? Can the cake be added on the forum home where the birthday is announced? And can it show up in the calendar on the birthday of the person who is celebrating?

I changed the code to this

Code:

 
// Birthday cake in postbit
		for ($i = 0; $i <= 6; $i++) {
if ( substr($post[birthday],5) == vbdate('m-d',time()) ) {
  $bdaycake = " <img src='http://www.ultimaforce.net/asuka/kao/chirolp_cake.gif' border='0' align='absmiddle' alt='Its My Birhtday!!!'> ";
}
}
// END Birthday cake in postbit

and it seems to display the cake to all members on the day of their birthday

Does show birthdays need to be enabled for this to work?

How i can show the cake only on the birthday?

If i delete this code: for ($i = 0; $i <= 6; $i++) { ?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
