Need a mod for birth day notification

[ade9ja]

Good dsy house, i will like to install a mod that can send a predefined text to members on their birth day, please anybody with any info on how to get this done?

i believe smf does not this by default. admin -> mail -> settings -> birthday message to use.

By default you can send an email to users in SMF or you can try this mod

Allows you to make a post in the forum as well as send a PM to the user

i got it there but there is no option where i can edit it and add my own text, is there any option?

You can try this mod, not sure if the birthday email is one of the templates that it allows you to edit but you can ask in the mods support topic

i have not tested this

open your email.<your language here>.php file

go to the last line  before

Code Select Expand

);
?>

and add something like this

Code Select Expand


'new birthday' => array(
'subject' => 'Your Birthday Greeting',
'body' => 'We hope your birthday is the best ever cloudy, sunny or whatever the weather.
Have lots of birthday cake and fun, and tell us what you have done.

We hope this message brought you cheer, and make it last, until same time same place, next year.

{REGARDS}',
'author' => '<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/?action=profile;u=63186">karlbenson</a>',

will i have to do the manual modification under my host control panel or through the admin user profile on the forum?

you will need to manually edit that file however you would normal edit files. make sure you backup first incase there are any issues.
