Birthday color in messages?

[hcfwesker]

I'm kinda confused, since this was done on SMF1, but on SMF RC4, the member's name is the default color when viewing messages.  The birthday color appears everywhere else , except when reading posts/messages.  again, this was doable on SMF1 with no effort.

I've searched high & low on the site, and couldn't find anything on the subject.

I do have the following MOds installed that should have helped with this.

Member Color Link ,


My SMF2 RC4 test site http://www.brawldomain.com/AASMF2/index.php

Still hoping for a solution.

It should be in (Admin > Features and options > Member color Link)

[hcfwesker]

Yes, I understand that, which is why I included that in my OP.

Attached images below.  I tested in all 3 of my themes, including the default, and all were the same.  Showing the default member color in the post/messages page.

coloroptions.png shows my settings.  the 3 unchecked boxes I tested, but those changed nothing, so left them unchecked.

BIcolor.png, color changes in Board Index just fine

postcolor.png , the color does not change

As far as i can see the option in the Member color link says

The Birthday Links of the Members (Calendar and Boardindex)

[hcfwesker]

Yeah, but it also changes them on the Message Index, too, which isn't specified in the MOD page.  Only file it won't affect right now is the
Display.template .   Also, it's done on SMF1 with no effort, so shouldn't be any reason why it wouldn't work on SMF2 , i would assume

You got a valid point. I'll surely give this a look today.

Hey, Joker™   Was wondering if there might be any developments.  I know you're a busy guy, just wanted to check in.

Thanks a lot bro .


Back to post, try this code

Sources\Display.php (make backup of file before editing it)

Find:

Code Select Expand

lo.id_member, lo.log_time, mem.real_name, mem.member_name, mem.show_online,



Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

lo.id_member, lo.log_time, mem.real_name, mem.member_name, mem.show_online, mem.birthdate,



Find:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($row['online_color']) && !empty($modSettings['MemberColorWhoIsOnline']))
$link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_member'] . '" style="color: ' . $row['online_color'] . ';">' . $row['real_name'] . '</a>';
else
$link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_member'] . '">' . $row['real_name'] . '</a>';



Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

if(!empty($modSettings['MemberColorBirthdayColor']) && !empty($row['birthdate']) && compare_colorBirthdate($row['birthdate']))
$link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_member'] . '" style="color: ' . $modSettings['MemberColorBirthdayColor'] . ';">' . $row['real_name'] . '</a>';

elseif (!empty($row['online_color']) && !empty($modSettings['MemberColorWhoIsOnline']))
$link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_member'] . '" style="color: ' . $row['online_color'] . ';">' . $row['real_name'] . '</a>';

else
$link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_member'] . '">' . $row['real_name'] . '</a>';


I've not tried the code but most probably it'll work.

[hcfwesker]

It looked promissing, but didn't work.  Is there any chance that having members profiles set with Pretty URLs would have interupted your edits?

No pretty url's don't have concern with the code above. I'm amazed that the code didn't worked. Lol most of the times this happens when I don't test the code .

I'll look into this tonight.

Ok I don't know what I did but this seems to work (I serious don't know it's after effects also)

In Load.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

$user_profile[$row['id_member']] = $row;
//Happy Birthday Color to this user :D
if(!empty($modSettings['MemberColorBirthdayColor']) && !empty($data['birthdate']) && compare_colorBirthdate($data['birthdate'])) {
$user_profile[$row['id_member']]['post_group_color'] = $modSettings['MemberColorBirthdayColor'];
$user_profile[$row['id_member']]['member_group_color'] = $modSettings['MemberColorBirthdayColor'];
}
//Color Banned user, replace there color... hope they are not moderators ;P?
if(!empty($modSettings['MemberColorBanned']) && isset($row['is_activated']) && $row['is_activated'] >= 10) {
$user_profile[$row['id_member']]['post_group_color'] = $modSettings['MemberColorBanned'];
$user_profile[$row['id_member']]['member_group_color'] = $modSettings['MemberColorBanned'];
}
//Memeber Color Link will used Chached Data, too wheee.
if($set == 'normal' || $set == 'profile') //This are the only sets with the info the mod need.
$color_profile[$row['id_member']] = array(
'id_member' => $row['id_member'],
'real_name' => $row['real_name'],
'member_group_color' => $user_profile[$row['id_member']]['member_group_color'],
'post_group_color' => $user_profile[$row['id_member']]['post_group_color'],
);


Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

$user_profile[$row['id_member']] = $row;
//Happy Birthday Color to this user :D
if(!empty($modSettings['MemberColorBirthdayColor']) && !empty($data['birthdate']) && compare_colorBirthdate($data['birthdate'])) {
$user_profile[$row['id_member']]['post_group_color'] = $modSettings['MemberColorBirthdayColor'];
$user_profile[$row['id_member']]['member_group_color'] = $modSettings['MemberColorBirthdayColor'];
}
//Color Banned user, replace there color... hope they are not moderators ;P?
if(!empty($modSettings['MemberColorBanned']) && isset($row['is_activated']) && $row['is_activated'] >= 10) {
$user_profile[$row['id_member']]['post_group_color'] = $modSettings['MemberColorBanned'];
$user_profile[$row['id_member']]['member_group_color'] = $modSettings['MemberColorBanned'];
}

Would I keep the previous changes you suggested yesterday, in Sources\Display.php ?  Or remove those, then add these?

Remove those ones, and try new ones.

[hcfwesker]

A true gem you are, bud.    Works just as it should, and no errors popping up in the error log.

It's these little details that makes the members happy.  Thank you so much!
