Email on Birthday

[iftitaj]

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?

According to lefty74 reply, thats exactly what it will do. As far as I can understand, it'll send the following:

No Year:
Many congratulations on your birthday and have a great day !!

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

In place of {AGE} actual age will show.

If I'm wrong, plz correct me.

that's correct, however, it should only display the age and not append th or st or something like that.

i have not tested my code if it does work. i assume it does but ...

Hi lefty! I guess for great developers like you, it is not that difficult to add th/st if age has to be shown. Plz work on it. My request!

DID IT WORK????

DID IT WORK????

i dont know, i have not tried it.

And may i ask how to set congratulations to yes for everybody?! Users lazy to set it to yes and for this, it's no use(in my forum)

Is that a standard feature of phpbb3?

[gergokee]

well i don't know i thought it came with the email on birthday mod! It can be set in the UCP -->
Display congratulation yes or no... But it should be Yes for everybody cause the people are lazy to set it to yes...
And because of this, few people receives email on birthday... or this email on birthday isn't connected to this "congratulation set field" ?

[iftitaj]

I'm afraid to test it on my running website. Someone plz test it completely & on phpBB3.0.1

that is not from this mod, no

if you want to know so badly, why don't you set up a test board and try it out urself.

Hi Lefty !

I was right!I tested it several times. It uses "display birthday congrats" So the mod only works when "Display birthday congrats" is set to YES in every users profile! So in this way it is no use... How can i make it send email to everyone , not needing to set the "Display birthday congrats" ?

[coldrock]

Does this work in 3.0.1?

hi, have a look at the ucp here and tell me where you can see that option. i cannot find it... you probably have another mod installed...
