Birthday, User Age and Zodiac Hack v1.2 (Working Version) · **Released**: 03-19-2003

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.

Files to edit: 1 (root/member.php)
Files to upload: 12 (zodiac image files)

Thank you and enjoy!

By the way, would you mind wiping off the button when you are done licking it. Other users, you know.

boofo this isnt workin for me, it shows the age of the person but says nothing for the zodiac and chinese zodiac field... i double checked everything to see if i put your code in the correct place and i did... the user has there full birthdate set, but it doesnt show the zodiac or chinese zodiac, the age shows though... weird, plz help!

Did you upload the image files for the zodiac signs? Also, make sure the zodiac filenames are capitalized in the first letter after you upload them.

212rikanmofo · #76 04-19-2003, 11:27 PM

yup they are capitolized and upload to my images folder, but still nothing shows up for zodian sign or chinese zodiac sign, only the Age shows...

Hey, I'm pretty new at adding hacks but this one worked very well. Thank you Boofo!

I like the zodiac sign images, but I was wondering if you also had images for the chinese zodiac signs? (i.e. ox, bull, tiger, rabbit, etc...)

Boofo · #78 04-20-2003, 05:06 AM

You're very welcome. I haven't found a good set of the chinese zodiac images yet. I will post them here when I find a set that looks good.

The images need to be in the images/zodiac folder. Check the code again and make sure you put the code in the right place in the member.php file. That will make a difference.

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