Auto send birthday greeting

[Moda]

Is there a way to have a plugin that works in an automatic way to send a greeting to members on the day of their birthday.

I know I'm getting lazy but sometimes I forget and I don't like that.

not like a "auto pm", but a message can be shown on the page if they login on their bday.

Tank you ®i©hie "how do I git eet"?
I guess that would be better than not have something as it takes up too much of my time to go check & send messages every day.
Any help is appreciated.

Oh! I'd be very interested in this as well. Is there a setting or something I have overlooked?

Could just code something in your layout templates in the forum wrapper or home layout template and surround it with an {if} statement for "if it is their birthday."

Tim Camara does {if $[current_user.birthday]} mean "if today is the current user's birthday"?

If you haven't already gone ahead and tried it, no, that means "if the user has a birthday".  You're going to have a much easier time doing this with javascript.

here's a quick plugin i wrote. i'm gonna leave it editable in case anyone wants to edit it, it's mostly open source code anyway.

Happy Birthday.pbp (716 B)

Preview:




i put in an option for a message after the "happy birthday USER", and the option of having it appended to an id. so you can make your own empty div like:

<div id="MYID"></div>

and put "MYID" in the option.
