This is a Birthday Notification MOD. This will NOT add birthday events to the calendar, but will show them in sitenews (ServerHacker) and default.asp within the Events listing.

This mod can be used with either with or without Serverhacker's code.
THIS IS BETA AND NEEDS TESTING ON REGULAR SNITZ, however I have no reason to think this should not work, see my link below for default.asp

This has only been tested with Access 2000 and MS SQL Server. This will need testing on MySQL and I would appreciate it if a MySQL user would contact me for testing.

You can see this mod on my site on the sitenews page:
http://huntcentral.com/forum/sitenews.asp
and
http://huntcentral.com/forum/default.asp

Download Beta v2.0 Here

Fix for DBS file for SQL users (if you have Access you don't NEED this, but it wouldn't hurt in case you ever upgrade to SQL and forget about this):
Download Beta v2.1 Here

Readme File:
For Serverhacker Snitz Version 8
AND AS OF BETA VERSION 2.0 FOR REGULAR SNITZ 3.4.03

Initial Release - 11/17/2002 - Beta version 1.3
Prior Release   - 11/18/2002 - Beta version 1.4
This Release	- 11/22/2002 - Beta version 2.0

REQUIREMENTS - Red1's New Event Mod

Author - Huntress
For support, please email me at huntress@huntcentral.com

This has ONLY been tested on Access and SQL Server and forum version 3.4.03
This is still a BETA mod as it has only been tested by a few users.

Features:
=========

- Show Today's Birthdays in Events on sitenews (serverhacker only).
- Show Next 30 days worth of Upcoming Birthdays in Events on sitenews.
- Show Last 30 days worth of Recent Birthdays in Events on sitenews.
  NOTE: The above is configurable by setting BdayDays in:
	inc_events.asp and cal_default.asp
- Only show these birthdays for members having made posts within the last 30 days.
- Refreshs listings automatically if a user changes updates birthday in profile.

Issues:
=======

1) Needs leap year logic, will show 2/29 even if there is no 2/29 in current year.
   This should be addressed within the next couple of months, I have until 1/29
   to fix this ;-) What date should I show for 2/29 birthdays?
2) Will this work on MySql???? Need MySQL users to help test this, Interested?
   Contact me at the email address above!

Included in this ZIP:
=====================

readme.txt			This file.
inc_events.asp			Code that shows Event Calendar and Birthdays in 
				Sitenews.asp (ServerHacker Only). This file can be
				called to other webpages to show Event calendar.
cal_default.asp			Code that shows Event Calendar and Birthdays in 
				Default.asp
cal_functions.asp		Functions used by Event and Birthdays
pop_profile.asp			Added update to clear working tables on DOB changes
dbs_birthdayevents.asp		DBS to create (or clear) the working tables, also cleans
				up from previous releases.

Install Notes:
==============

1. BACKUP YOUR EXISTING FILES!!! Here's the files to backup:

	/include/inc_events.asp	
	pop_profile.asp	
	cal_default.asp			
	cal_functions.asp

2. Delete these files if you had previously installed prior versions of this mod:

	dbs_birthdayevents_v1-3.asp					
	dbs_birthdayevents_v1-4.asp					

3. Upload the ASP files to your forum directory.

	a) pop_profile.asp, cal_default.asp and cal_functions.asp go
	   to the root of your forum directory
	b) inc_events.asp goes to the include directory

   NOTE: If you have modified any of the included
	ASP files, this MOD is clearly commented,
	so simply search and cut and paste into
	your code. The exception to this is cal_default.asp, 
	MAKE SURE TO BACK THIS UP PRIOR TO INSTALL.

4. Upload the image files to your forum image directory.

5. Run Admin_mod_DBSetup.asp (ADMIN MOD in ADMIN control panel) with the supplied DBS file, 
   titled "Birthday Events Beta 2.0".

   NOTE: If you had previously installed this mod from version 1.3, please make sure you run 
   the correct one. I strongly suggest you delete the file dbs_birthdayevents_v1-3.asp and
   dbs_birthdayevents_v1-4.asp to avoid confusion (step 2 above).

Be kind, this is my very first mod

If I am by chance not paying attention to this post, please stop by Serverhacker.com and this post on this mod:

http://www.serverhacker.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=854

BE VERY CLEAR THAT YOU ARE USING IT FOR REGULAR SNITZ. As posts at SH's site are going to assume you are using his modded up forum code

Thanks!

All you have to do is do a include of inc_events.asp on the page you want it to show.

Like this:
<!--#include file="include/inc_events.asp"-->


Mind the directory

Installed it - include works fine, but birthdays do NOT show up. Also, looking at the Members_BDates table, every birthdate edited shows up as year 2003....

Carefree

Where is inc_events called? Don't see it anywhere....

PeeWee, is there some reason you are not providing me a link to your site? You can email it to me if you prefer.

That is used to call it outside of the forum in your other site pages. Remember, this is for use in both Portal code as well as regular plain Snitz as indicated in the readme file
