I currently have the birthday hack installed on my 3.5.4 board. After I upgrade to 3.6.x will this still work?

Flawless install! Thank you!

Still works fine in 3.6.7. Great, it's just what I was looking for

There's a bug in the 1.0.4 version of this hack that only shows the icon if the user has selected to show only their birth month and day to the public. If they select to show their entire birth date, it doesn't show the icon. I've re-written the PHP a bit to fix that, and also to show the icon if their birthday is within three days of the current date (so we can celebrate longer!)

To edit, go to your Plugin Manager (not Manage Products) and click Edit next to "Show Birthday Icon in Postbit". Replace the PHP code with this:

if (!$this->cache['monthday'])
{
    $this->cache['monthday'] = date('m/d');
}

if (empty($this->cache['hasbday'][$this->post['userid']]) AND $this->post['showbirthday'] >= 2)
{
    $birthday = explode('-', $this->post['birthday']);
    if (abs(strtotime(date('m/d'))-strtotime("$birthday[0]/$birthday[1]"))/(86400) <= 3) 
    {
		$this->post['hasbday'] = true;
    }
}
else
{
    $this->post['hasbday'] = $this->cache['hasbday'][$this->post['userid']];
}

Feel free to clean up the code as you see fit. Proceed at your own risk, etc. Sorry if posting this is against forum etiquette. Just thought some would find it useful.
