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?

This wouldn't be hard to do...just look at the template "calendar_birthday" and see how the birthday is called then edit forumhome to include the info.

Ok i will try and send you the instructions after

When you guys make this hack, do you think it would be possible to make it so you can display it on a non vb page also? Would be very nice to show this on news page as well

Yes

I've just cobbled this together for forums/index.php.

1) Open index.php and under the line that starts $templatesused='error_nopermission you need to add this:

$templateused.=',calendar_birthday';

then, straight after require('./global.php'); add this:

$today = vbdate("m-d",time());
$birthdays = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE birthday LIKE('%-$today')");
while ($birthday = $DB_site->fetch_array($birthdays)) {
	$bd_user = $birthday[username];
	$bd_userid = $birthday[userid];
	$datebits = explode("-", $birthday[birthday]);
	$bdage = date("Y") - $datebits[0];
	if ($bdage > 0) $age = "($bdage)";
	else $age = "";
	eval ("\$todaybirthdays .= \"".gettemplate("calendar_birthday")."\";");
	}

When you have done that, edit your forumhome template and add $todaybirthdays wherever you want the birthdays to appear.

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