Woo! Thanks! Good mod!


One issue for me...

CODE

Happy Birthday! Warm wishes for you, and hope you have a great one! Congrats!

Membro(s):

    * <span style='color:#696969'>plazman
    * <span style='color:#696969'>PyRo
    * <span style='color:#696969'>eeyore
    * <span style='color:#696969'>Darkmoon
    * riddance123isgay

Where can I change the word "Membro(s)" at? My board is an English board, and Membro(s) doesn't work... Also, as you can see, the members with HTML in front of their name... yeah I have no idea why its there... what can I do to fix it?

Probably something in the configuration of your groups... Take a look at ADMIN CP -> MANAGEMENT -> MANAGE USER GROUPS -> suffix.

You can edit "Membro(s)" in sources/tasks/BirthdayMessage.php.

Thanks for the reply Rush, I'll try the fixes now.

The fixes went okay for me. File edit was simple, and the HTML mistake was a silly mistake I made, some member groups I forgot to add </span> at the end... yeah... I feel dumb, lol

The mod is working great although, thanks.

Try not to run the task in ACP! If you wanna make some tests, configure  the task to run at every 5 min...

Can you help please.

Hey buddy, working like a charm on 2.3.2... everything's fine! See those screenshots:

Be sure not to select a category instead of a forum and see how's the configuration: Show Birthday Message as: Auto PM or New Topic.

I have my task set to run at midnight, but it runs at 6:00 PM. I don't know how to set it back any further because you can't go back any further than midnight.

IP.Board surely is running tasks before this one!

[MylesTaylor]

It's running 18 hours late. I need to set it back 18 hours and I'm not sure how since that goes into the day before.

That's how it works: IPB can run a task and it can take hours or several minutes... In the meantime, other task will wait this first one end to begin... IPB runs the task this way!

[chaz]

SO can it be via PM AND post??? or does it have to be one or the other and not both?

[Adriano Faria]

One or another!
