Birthday in News?

I copied that code from you, what this then:

« Last Edit: Today at 20:46 by ccbtimewiz »

Well now I don´t get any error, but nothing shows up on the news ?!?! Am I missing something still?

And why you cannot see is, it just appears when its the birthday of the user viewing the board. I mean, if today is my birthday, then when I see your boardindex, it says me "happy birthday".

If you want to display all the users you need to use the birthday list in the context array I guess. Ccbtimewiz could help you I hope.

Oh.. I was thinking that this would show the message so everyone knows it, from the guys that are listed on : Upcoming Birthdays 
oops

Seems like it will be used. Maybe I can work on it.

[ccbtimewiz]

I'll try building something like that too.

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($context['calendar_birthdays']))
foreach ($context['calendar_birthdays'] AS $member)
{
if ($member['is_today'])
echo 'Happy Birthday ', $member['name'], '!<br />';
else
echo 'Your Birthday is coming ', $member['name'], '<br />';
}

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($context['calendar_birthdays']))
foreach ($context['calendar_birthdays'] AS $member)
{
if ($member['is_today'])
echo 'Happy Birthday ', $member['name'], '!<br />';
else
echo 'Your Birthday is coming ', $member['name'], '<br />';
}

and where should i implement this?

[ccbtimewiz]

index.template.php file, I believe.

It will just work on BoardIndex.template.php, cause the data is gathered only in BoardIndex.php file.

[MissyNL]

oke... but because i am a code noob   i want to know where and before what lines.. please

Its easier if you just create a section news and just post it there. Done way easier

[[SiNaN]]

Just do this:

BoardIndex.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)

Replace:

Code Select Expand

// Show us some birthday too.
if (!empty($context['calendar_birthdays']))
   foreach ($context['calendar_birthdays'] AS $member)
   {   
      if ($member['is_today'])
         $context['fader_news_lines'][] = 'Happy Birthday ' . $member['name'] . '!';
      else
         $context['fader_news_lines'][] = 'Your Birthday is coming ' . $member['name'] . '.';
   }

// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)

This code will add the birthdays to the news fader in the BoardIndex.
