E-mail on birthday

Postby Potku » 06 May 2012, 16:24

First post! :D

After some searching, I could not find a working MOD for this. Lefty's MOD seems to be outdated (tried reinstalling and received hundreds of e-mails on :D). Does anyone know if there is one?

Good to be on my favorite modder's board :)

Yeah, sorry, I should have linked that myself in the first place.

Nonetheless, I like this MOD so it would be nice to get it up and running again. Well, in a sense, it really is up and running like there's no tomorrow :D I literally received hundreds of birthday e-mails from the board the other day while testing this (luckily no one else had their birthdat that day). They were triggered (I just know this is the term to use here, but I really don't understand the actual mechanism behind it; I am php illiterate) by just about anyone visiting the board that according to the log. How does that happen and how can it be fixed?

Thanks :)

It happens because of this code not being set

Code: Select all
Please login or register to view the code within this post


and I have that mod installed on here and it seems to work just fine so ensure that you have done the edits to the files correctly...especially the ones to the index.php file

Thanks for the reply.

I checked index.php and at least it seems to be the way it should be as far as this MOD is concerned. So, I enabled the MOD. Within a minute, 5 e-mails were sent, so I disabled it.

What might be causing this action?

You probably do not have the mod installed correctly. Zip up your index.php file and attach it.

I installed it today via Automod on a heavily Modded board. Works as advertised for me.

Well, good to know it works and the fault lies with me :)

Here's our index.php zipped:

You do realize you have the mod installed about three times on that file?

No... :o

So, that would explain it. Right... :roll:

Thanks, Rich, again for your help :)

Probably, try using the attached index.php file...make a backup first.

Dude... :o

You really went beyond the call of duty here. As soon as I am not unemployed (and homeless), I will financially encourage you to keep up the good work here. Kudos! Image

It's actually true (being homeless doesn't mean having to stay under the bridge, but I do not have a place to call home due to various reason (some of which I explained to Rich via chat the other day)), so I am "leeching" at the moment...
