SLiCK_303 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I dunno if anyone needs anything like this, but I just release another module, this one is called Birthday Gift. You can find it on the thirtybees store here, or on github directly here. It will send an email out to a customer who has a birthday today. You can also choose to make a discount voucher as well. You can run it as a cron job everyday, so it will be automatic, or you can run the link manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandra Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 @SLiCK_303 You read my needs, another one I was waiting for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeta Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Go go @SLiCK303 ! :kissingsmiling_eyes: And now the usual questions/requests: Is the coupon created automatically? How about do like IKEA that gives the discount during all the "birthday month"? ...so it needs to send the email on 1st day of the "birthday month" with a coupon valid (1 time for that specific customer) for the whole month.

wakabayashi Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Oh that's an interesting one. I guess when we test my loyality module, we could hook this birthday module into mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRMasterChief Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 just my short note: THIS IS HOW COOPERATION AND WORK SHOULD BE IN AN FORUM ! Thank you for these, guys.

Yes it is, if you set it to create one. How about do like IKEA that gives the discount during all the "birthday month"? ...so it needs to send the email on 1st day of the "birthday month" with a coupon valid (1 time for that specific customer) for the whole month. I think thats a different module....But I contemplate the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll talk to you more about this on Slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandra Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 @SLiCK_303 It would be good to have customer group selection so we can avoid sending birthday emails to say b2b and blacklisted customers. Second, as above a month would be a better duration for voucher validity (unless it can be configured somewhere). Thanks again for this nice module.

I just released v1.0.2 which has duration setting, and new emails. Uninstall and delete the version you have now, then d/l and install the new version. As for the customer group setting, I'll look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLiCK_303 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 If you setup a cron job, make sure to change it to the new url, as the security key has changed since you installed the new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put out version 1.0.3 of the module, you can now enter customer groups you'd like to restrict the emails to. I did it a dirty way, were you have to enter the group id's manually, instead of picking from a nice pick menu, but it works. Just install over your existing install, and then pick your groups.

SLiCK_303 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 I just released version 2.0.0 of the module. I re-wrote it, and added email logging to it. Uninstall and delete your current version, then d/l and install this version. You will be getting a new security key doing this, so update your cron job to reflect it.

Chandra Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Works nicely. No Subject was found for birthday in the database. I was able to change the email subject in translations in earlier versions, however the email subject text box does not show up now. How can I change it in v2.0.0?

Chandra Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 @slick_303 Installed 2.0.1 but still see the same issue with email subject being unavailable in the translations. The other interesting thing is that the email template for %discount voucher can't be seen. Only the absolute value translation shows up and it does not have a subject. I tried after a clear cache too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLiCK_303 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Seems to work for me... I only use english though, so maybe theres an issue with others. You copied the new /mails/en to your language files right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandra Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I use only English. Instead of the text box for email subject, I see a message that no subject was found in database. Let me completely uninstall and reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandra Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I copied the emails from the module emails folder to /themes/default-bootstrap/modules/birthdaygift/mails/en and all is good now. For some reason, this was still having only one old email template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimmer-media Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I am thrilled and so far it works very well. At the moment, I keep in mind that customers can always change their date of birth to get a voucher. Are there any restrictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLiCK_303 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 no, that is always a possibility. You would have to watch the vouchers to see if that was happening. I have no solution for a person doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
