Any suggest???

[kunal]

have u edited this in the script
TopicShow = 0         --- to display the birthday nicks in the Hub's Topic ... ( 1/0 : enabled / disabled )
disable it and then remove the topic from the ptokax network tab

[Syphrone-NL]

Yes i did that kunal i didnt work either and i know now why i found the soluction

He didnt putt it in the topic but he putt the birthday in the hubs name

So i needed to change the hubname not the topic

[kunal]

i m happy that u finally found the solution to ur problem

[Syphrone-NL]

but i think that somebody need to change the script then that it comes really in the topic not in the hubname

i think you can do it Syphrone,.. look :

just try change this.. :

--------------------------------------	
	topic = frmHub:GetHubName()
	frmHub:SetHubName(topic.." - Today is the birthday of the following user"..tit)
to:
	topic = frmHub:GetHubTopic()
	frmHub:SetHubTopic(topic..tit)" - Today is the birthday of the following user"..tit)
---------------------------------------

or maybe even this...
(if i am not wrong this is a little neater since it won't change the topic if there is no user's birthday)

-----------------------------------
	if titshow ~= 0 then
		local tit = ""
		local ct = 0
		for i,v in tNow do 
			if ct == 0 then
				tit = " "..v
			else
				tit = tit..", "..v
			end
			ct = ct +1
		end	
		if ct ~= 0 then
			if ct > 1 then
				tit = " Today is the birthday of the following user's"..tit..", Send them a PM *-<;o)"
			end
			if ct == 1 then
				tit = " Today is the birthday of:"..tit..", Send a PM *-<:oP"
			end
			topic = frmHub:GetHubTopic()
			frmHub:SetHubTopic(topic..tit)
		end
	end
-------------------------------------------

neither way is tested ... i just "think to know" it will work..

--	for prevention of repeating of topic....
		--	topic = frmHub:GetHubTopic()
		--	frmHub:SetHubTopic(topic..tit)
			frmHub:SetHubTopic(tit)					
		end

[UwV]

This one is "tested" ..

DefTopic = "Today there is no user to celebrate the birthday of.. maybe we need another topic for today ? ;0)"

function CheckBirthdays()
	tNow = {}
	local count = 0
	local yeah = nil
	for i, v in tBirthdays do
		if tBirthdays[i][2] == tonumber(os.date("%m")) then
			if tBirthdays[i][1] == tonumber(os.date("%d")) then
				if GetItemByName(i) then
					local happy = GetItemByName(i)
					DoHappyBirthday(happy)
					yeah = 1
				end
				count = count + 1
				if yeah == nil then
					tNow[count] = "("..i..")"
				else 
					tNow[count] = i
				end
			end
		end
		yeah = nil
	end
	if titshow ~= 0 then
		local tit = ""
		local ct = 0
		for i,v in tNow do 
			if ct == 0 then
				tit = " "..v
			else
				tit = tit..", "..v
			end
		ct = ct +1
		end	
		if ct ~= 0 then
			if ct > 1 then
				tit = "Today is the birthday of the following user's"..tit..", Send them a PM *-<;o)"
			end
			if ct == 1 then
				tit = "Today is the birthday of:"..tit..", Send a PM *-<:oP"
			end
			frmHub:SetHubTopic(tit)					
		else
			topic = frmHub:GetHubTopic()
			if topic == nil then
				topic = DefTopic
			end
			if string.sub(topic, 1, 24) == "Today is the birthday of" then
				frmHub:SetHubTopic(DefTopic)
			end
		end
	end
end

this fixes the problem of doubling topic, dont hang if no topic and set the topic to a default value if there is no birthday.
