Legacy create birthday thread and tag user

[Captive Reefs]

I'm using another addon called Cyb - Auto Birthday Greeter that automatically creates a birthday thread for active members. It would be nice to combine something like this with this product or perhaps help with the code so that it can tag the users when it creates the new birthday thread. That way they are more likely to find the post and reply.

I use that mod to, I think it would be a nice if AUT did that as well!

We'll take it into consideration for future versions

Looks like I figured out how to modify the birthday greeter add-on to tag the user's with birthdays in the post:

In the Cyb - Auto Birthday Greeter - MN plugin, Find the following:

$cabg_birthdays .= '[url="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/member.php?u='.$cybabgreeter_user[userid].'"]'.$cybabgreeter_startc.$cybabgreeter_user[username].$cybabgreeter_endc.'[/url]';

Replace with:

$cabg_birthdays .= '[mention]'.$cybabgreeter_startc.$cybabgreeter_user[username].$cybabgreeter_endc.'[/mention]';

Well that's pretty cool, thanks for sharing that bit of info.

I might have spoke to soon...it appears the mention worked in the post (created a profile link), but I'm not seeing where it actually got added to the user's mentions.
