Lefty your mods are always so useful and easy, easy, easy!

Can you confirm that this one can be used with your b-day pop up? I can't see why not but would like to confirm. Thanks a bunch!

[lefty74]

yes, they both work together. i have them on my testboard and so far have had no problems.

Thanks Lefty! We'll install them.

great, let me know if you run into problems (which you shouldnt really ;P )

[lefty74]

nice mod, but is there a way to get the user age in the e-mail?

so you have something like this

Code: Select all

Subject: Happy Birthday {USERNAME}! 

Dear {USERNAME},

Many congratulations on your {age} birthday and have a great day !!

{EMAIL_SIG}

Sorry, i forgot about this.

you can try the following to get the age in the email. I have not tested this though.

open index.php
find

Code: Select all

				'jabber'	=> $row['user_jabber'],

after add

Code: Select all

				'age'		=> ($age) ? ($now['year'] - $age) : '',

find

Code: Select all

			'USERNAME'		=> htmlspecialchars_decode($addr['name'])

replace wiht

Code: Select all

			'USERNAME'		=> htmlspecialchars_decode($addr['name']),
			'AGE'			=> $addr['age']

then in in your email template

Code: Select all

[code]Subject: Happy Birthday {USERNAME}! 

Dear {USERNAME},

Many congratulations on your {AGE} birthday and have a great day !!

{EMAIL_SIG}

[/code]

Dear lefty74
Now phpBB3 on the index (first forum page) shows the persons ( "Today is Mary's birthday") but wont send email to the user ...

Any help ?

PS : To remember "my case", please, read the first msg on page one ( 1/2) of this topic.

Thanks again

What will it do when someone hasn't set his birth year??? Will it crash or simply leave the place blank?

[lefty74]

it will leave it blank yeah

[updown]

(solved)

[p858snake]

Would it be possibly to have it work out if they have their year in their eg:

No Year:
We wish you a happy birthday....

With Year:
We wish you a happy <yr>th birthday?
