IMO screenshot for such a hack is very unneccessary, but if you are "I dont believe UNLESS I see" type, here you go:

* Private Message Hack sends to your users (customizable)
* Daily Admin Report (optional) produced by the Hack

Needless to say these PMs in the screenshots are automatically created by the hack without any admin interference/action.

Nicely done and I think I will soon take the time to install this. I have been doing everything manually now, but this will be a fantastic solution! Very cool.

And here I thought my wife was the only one who could say that much in one breath.

You might want to check this again. Option 4 is missing from the list. (No way to create a thread).

This hack will automatically greet the birthdays of your board members by sending them:

• Private Messages
• Emails
• Both
• or by creating a birthday celebration thread in a specific forum.

Features:
* Does NOT require cron jobs so everybody can use it regardless of their server settings/rights.
* You can send PMs, emails (or both) or you can choose to send them PM if they can receive PM or else send email.
* The Hack can create special greeting threads for birthdays. (optional)
* Some usergroups (like banned users) can be excluded from automatic greetings.
* Admin can choose to receive a daily report via Email or PM about the greeted birthdays. (optional)
* Compatible with ALL vbulletin versions I know.
* Carefully coded to not to increase your SQL load and its quite performance-friendly.

The hack is beta tested by many users over a month before the release and proven to be stable. (BTW. thx to all beta testers especially to Dark_Wizard, Boofo, DslTeam, C-Pr0mpt for returning feedback)

Enjoy the hack and if you install the hack please click INSTALL thank you..

logican, this hack is working great.

sorry for not giving any feed back before
i had so many probs with my board that i totally forgot about it

[lordofgun]

Is there an option where this would only post a Happy Birthday thread to member with a certain number of posts? I don't want to clutter my boards with hundreds of happy birthday messages for members whoi have never posted.

Thanks in advance! GREAT HACK!

@Boofo: Nope it's there: Just as a new independent option:
If you want it to create threads, set this option a few lines below:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

@lordofgun: I'll soon give you a code to integrate this feature..

[Boofo]

Ahhhh, you hid it on me. There was no number 4 in the options at the top (where it used to be) so it threw me off. Thank you very much, yeni (that is the word, if I remeber, right...if I don't remember right, forgive me for whatever I just said. ).

I would like the code for the users posts also, when you have it. Thanks!

Installed, now waiting for midnight

Thanks for the brilliant idea, this increases a lot the personal bound between users and the page!

Installed.... waiting for midnight too
Thank you!

When I run queries using Firefly's hack I sometimes make it - other times not. This time..."success" came the third time. Is this normal?

Well, it doesnt seem normal but you need to ask Firefly about his hack

Dont wait for the exact midnight time.. Wait for "tomorrow"..It can take the hack a few hours after midnight to greet the birthdays depending on the "serverload" option you set in the options.

GREAT HACK! THANKS!

[Birdie501]
