Brithdays don't seem to work on my board

Post by winner3 »

I've selected "enable birthday listings" and I've turned on birthdays under "board features" in the ACP, but I can't seem to get my upcoming birthday to show in the index page after enabling the upcoming birthdays extension.

Link to my board: http://law-rp.com/forum/index.php

Link to upcoming birthdays extension: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... hday_list/

The board uses phpbb 3.2.0

Would anyone be able to help or give me some pointers?

To receive extension support please visit our Extensions Database and post in the specific extension's designated support area. The link to the support area for each released extension is also available in the first post of each released extension listed in the [3.2.x] Extension Database Releases forum. For extensions still in development (not recommended for a live board) support is in that extensions's topic in the Extensions in Development forum.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to inquire about just the extension. I brought up the extension because it looks ahead a certain number of days to see if anyone has a birthday and then puts it on the index page. But I can't get birthdays, the bare phpbb feature to appear at the bottom of my index page at all. Even if I set my birthday to the current day.

Would anyone be able to give insight as to why that is?

Try switching to the standard prosilver style, and maybe disable your Sitemaker extension too.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. In the demo for the style that I'm using, birthdays seem to work so I didn't think to do that https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... e/demo/3.2

But I can certainly give it a try. I think you might be onto something with sitemaker, though. I'll investigate and come back with an update. Thank you.

I've looked into it for a while and I can't seem to pin down the cause. Even the birthday blocks on sitemaker don't work.

To find out if it's style related switch to prosilver. If that's not the case, turn off other extensions.

Is there an easy way to test changes? It's a live board and I'll draw concern from users if I change the style or apply any drastic changes.

Yes.. there is, but you have to set up develop/test environment on your comp.

Is there a guide I can use to go about doing that?
