Birthday thread

[PurpleTears]

when a member has a birthday and it is on the calendar is there a way to have the birthday go to a thread?

[SLGray]

I really do not know if it is possible. Do you have the birthday management activate where a pop up will appear foe someone whose birthday it is?

[PurpleTears]

Yes i do but i was hoping i could get it to appear in a thread somehow

[SLGray]

We will wait to see if someone has an idea.

Hi,

So you have a thread, and when it is someones birthday, a message should be posted in the thread, right? It's possible to do something like this. Send me a PM with your forum's link and an account that has admin access(not necessary the founder account, I only need access to the JS part).

[PurpleTears]

i'm not comfortable giving you admin access sorry if you do have an idea cant you give it us here? please?

[Draxion]

@PurpleTears, there is nothing to worry about. If you are worried about giving him admin rights due to trust issues, I can assure you can trust @Wolfuryo. He's assisted many others in the same manner.

Of course, this is your choice. Just trying to make it easier on you.

Hi,

I have installed the script on your forum.(ACP->Modules->Javascript code management, the code named Birthdays).

Click here to see what modifications you can ake to the code:

If anyone is curious about the coding behind this, the codes are below.
JS:

Code:

$(function() {
    var poster_name = "BOT";
    var message = "Happy Birthday %user!";
    var subject = "Happy Birthday %user!";
    var avatar = 0;
    if (_userdata.session_logged_in && (location.pathname == "/" || location.pathname == "/forum")) {
        var tbd = [],
            tb = [],
            arr, leng, len;

        function check() {
            var ar = $("span:contains('birthday')").first().html().split("<br")[0].match(/<strong>.+<\/strong>/),
                len = ar.length;
            if (len != 0) {
                for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
                    ar[i] = ar[i].replace(/<strong>|<\/strong>/g, "");
                    tbd.push(ar[i]);
                };
                get_d();
            };
        };

        function get_d() {
            $.get("http://virus-design.esy.es/2girlsgraphics.php/?get", function(data) {
                arr = data.split("<sp>"), leng = arr.length;
                filtere();
            });
        };
        var index = 0;

        function filtere() {
            for (var i = 0; i < tbd.length; i++) {
                if (arr.indexOf(tbd[i]) == -1) {
                    tb.push(tbd[i]);
                };
            };
            post(index);
        };

        function post(l) {
            if (!(l < tb.length && tb[l] != undefined && tb[l] != "undefined")) return;
            $.post("/post", {
                mode: "newtopic",
                f: 19,
                subject: subject.replace(/%user/g, tb[l]),
                message: message.replace(/%user/g, tb[l]),
                post: "Ok"
            }).always(function() {
                $.post("http://virus-design.esy.es/2girlsgraphics.php/?post?name=" + tb[l], function() {
                    l++;
                    if (l < tb.length - 1) {
                        post(l);
                    };
                });
            });
        };
        check();
    };
    if (/f19-/.test(window.location.pathname)) {
        for (var i = 4; i < $("tbody>tr").length; i++) {
            $("span.name>strong>a>span>strong").eq(i).text(poster_name)
        };
    };
    if (/t\d+/.test(window.location.pathname) && $("a.nav[href*='/f19-happy-birthday']").length != 0) {
        $("span.name>strong>a>span>strong").eq(0).text(poster_name);
        var avat = $("[alt='avatar']").eq(0);
        avatar == 0 ? avat.remove() : avatar != 1 ? avat.attr("src", avatar) : avat = avat;
    };
});

PHP:

Code:

<?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://2girlsgraphics.forumotion.com");
$url="http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$mode=parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY);
if(strpos($mode, "get") !== false){
$file=fopen("db.txt", "r");
$text=fread($file,filesize("db.txt"));
echo $text;
fclose($file);
};
if(strpos($mode, "post") !== false){
$file=fopen("db.txt", "a");
$text=fread($file,filesize("db.txt"));
echo $url;
$name=explode("name=", $url)[1];
echo $name;
$t=$text."<sp>".$name;
fwrite($file, $t);
fclose($file);
};
?>

Hi @Wolfuryo

Thank you for sharing the code with us..
Where would that PHP code need to be placed ? Should it go in a HTML page?
I'm a little confused 'cause I was under the impression that we couldn't reach/edit the PHP pages

[Guest]

You need your own server to host the code. The one that is used for @"Purple Tears" is placed on my server. The codes have to be modified to work with other forums.

Ah, what a pitty, but thank you for clarifying that for me @Wolfuryo

[Guest]

You're welcomed.

[PurpleTears]

ok so are you saying you were or were not able to make this work?

[Guest]

Hi,

It works as it should. To test:go to your profile, change the birth date to the date today, than go to the first page of the forum, select the birthday forum and you'll see the post.

[PurpleTears]

thank you so much it does work

[Draxion]

May I mark this as solved?
