Step 12

Execute the install_birthday.php on your root directory and then delete it.

Step 13
the birthday_baloon.gif must be placed in your templates/<your template folder>/images

You can modify your Birthday Message in that template to customize it.

Finished!



For Users that using other mods like these and wont delete the old entries of their user's birthday can use the old database entries if
the entries are given in the format like xxxx-xx-xx  (year-month-day).
That means if in USERS TABLE the field for the birthday entries are saved in DATE Format can use their entries with this mod,
by making some changes.

Here the instructions:
Just replace the value "birthday" with your db field name.

In Step 3

Code: [Select]

$additional_user_fields['birthday'] Instead of birthday use your db filed name

In Step 4

Code: [Select]

"birthday" => "birthday",Instead of => "birthday"  use your db filed name

Edit the birthday_install.php
delete the line

Code: [Select]

"ALTER TABLE `".USERS_TABLE."` ADD `birthday` DATE DEFAULT '0000-00-00' NOT NULL"
Thats all.

I've tested the mod on a fresh & clean 4images installation.



Additional Options / show asterisk (Sternzeichen):
If you want that the asterisk (german: Sternzeichen) should be displayed next to birthday in profile,
follow these steps.

If you want, that also the asteriks images are displayes next to birthday.
Create in your templates/<your templates>/images/ folder an new folder named sternzeichen
--> templates/<your templates>/images/sternzeichen
There you should place 12 images named from 1.jpg to 12.jpg,
which are the corresponding images like the asterisk.
you can find some images attached. thx to trez for these images.
Here you can find also some from Loda



you should use following code instead

Code: [Select]

      "user_birthday" => $user_birthday,
      "sternzeichen" => ($sternzeichen) ? "   ".$lang['asterisk']." : ".$lang['asterisks'][$sternzeichen]." "  : "",user following

Code: [Select]

      "sternzeichen" => ($sternzeichen) ? " &nbsp;&nbsp;".$lang['asterisk']." : ".$lang['asterisks'][$sternzeichen]." <img src=\"".TEMPLATE_PATH."/images/sternzeichen/".$sternzeichen.".jpg\" alt=\"".$lang['asterisks'][$sternzeichen]."\">"  : "",
finished!

P.S.: Maybe someone can translate the asteriks language into english.


17.02. Added additonal option

@German Users: check your language/<your language>/main.php
I did a correction above, cause "03" => "M&auml;", should be like this "03" => "M&auml;rz",
Otherwise only Mä is displayed instead of März.
Corrected above.


Installer and needed files are attached.
You can also download it from here: Link
Just log in as 4images/4images.
Of course you can also create your own account (no email verification is needed, cause its an testboard).
Demo can be also seen there.

... very nice MOD ... especially the birthday countdown ... and the birthday_baloon ... 
... a very good and clear presentation ...
... thanks for it ...

mawenzi

[Loda]

WOW!
thank you very much for this great mod! works perfekt!
only the installation file don't work for me and so i made it manuell.

[insane]

whats the db field name?
where can i find it?
do i have to do all again? (i already executed the birthday_install.php)

[TheOracle]

// Birthday Mod
    $additional_sql .= ", ".get_user_table_field("", "birthday")." = '$user_birthday'";

I have been told recently that the get_user_table_field function only complys with the core fields within the USERS_TABLE and not on additional user fields.

Meaning, the above should be changed to :

Code: [Select]


// Birthday Mod
    $additional_sql .= ", birthday" = ".$user_birthday;




In the mean time, could we see a screenshot of this presentation ?

[Stoleti]

So this show "Today Birthday's " ?? on Home ? 

[TheOracle]

So this show "Today Birthday's " ?? on Home ? 

Please read the changed files from the first post. It mentions index.php file. In the mean time, read step 11.

[TheOracle]

@icecream:

By the way, since you added this :

$birthday_list = "";

find :

$site_template->register_vars(array(
  "lang_events" => $lang['events'],
  "birthday_list" => $birthday_list,
  "lang_congratulate" => $lang['congratulate']
   ));
}

replace with :

Code: [Select]


$site_template->register_vars(array(
  "lang_events" => $lang['events'],
  "birthday_list" => $birthday_list,
  "lang_congratulate" => $lang['congratulate']
   ));

unset ($birthday_list);
}


Then :

$sql = "SELECT ".get_user_table_field("", "user_id").", ".get_user_table_field("", "user_name").", ".get_user_table_field("", "birthday")."
          FROM ".USERS_TABLE."
          WHERE ".get_user_table_field("", "birthday")." LIKE '%-$currentdate'
          ORDER BY ".get_user_table_field("", "user_name");

to read :

Code: [Select]


$sql = "SELECT ".get_user_table_field("", "user_id").", ".get_user_table_field("", "user_name").", "birthday"
          FROM ".USERS_TABLE."
          WHERE birthday LIKE '%-$currentdate'
          ORDER BY ".get_user_table_field("", "user_name");



[Stoleti]

But another question , for who have used the User Age V.1  ? 

we need uninstall all your make some modifications ? or we can install it without any problem ?

[Stoleti]

on birthday MOD installer :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/blacktra/public_html/test-gallery/birthday_install.php on line 14

 

[TheOracle]

I could be wrong but

change :

NOT NULL"

to :

Code: [Select]


NOT NULL",


Then, try the installation file again.

[Stoleti]

this have work 

So Let's see it working 

[Stoleti]

Another question its how make it show 1 username by line :

user1 (xx)
user 2 (xx)


 :

[TheOracle]

In index.php file,

find :

$birthday_list .= "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."member.php?action=showprofile&user_id=".$row[$user_table_fields['user_id']])."\">".$row[$user_table_fields['user_name']]."</a> (".$age.")";

replace with :

Code: [Select]


$birthday_list .= "<a href=\"".$site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."member.php?action=showprofile&user_id=".$row[$user_table_fields['user_id']])."\">".$row[$user_table_fields['user_name']]."</a> (".$age.")<br />";



[IcEcReaM]

... a very good and clear presentation ...

yep, i learned from the others, how it should be,
although it takes a lot of time just for the documention and testing on a fresh 4images install.
Thats why i didn't like to publish such mods..

only the installation file don't work for me and so i made it manuell.

Fixed the installation file,
i uploaded the wrong file from the wrong folder..

I have been told recently that the get_user_table_field function only complys with the core fields within the USERS_TABLE and not on additional user fields.

In the mean time, could we see a screenshot of this presentation ?

Then look at step 4, then you can use it also.
I had to do it like this way,
so users don't need to delete their old entries if using an another mod,
and what was much important to me i had to do this for me to work because of some other reasons.
So this mod is more flexible and 4images conform.

The code i posted in my first post works the way i did,
also with the get_user_table_fields... don't need to make that changes you posted.

But another question , for who have used the User Age V.1  ? 

we need uninstall all your make some modifications ? or we can install it without any problem ?

You has to do deinstall the other mod, but NOT delete the DB Field,
cause you can use the old entries with this mod again,
just follow the last instructions for users have other mods.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/blacktra/public_html/test-gallery/birthday_install.php on line 14

Fixed
