Hooks

birthdayListerModifyBirthdayChildren

The "birthdayListerModifyBirthdayChildren" hook is triggered for modifying the list of birthday children. So custom sorting is possible or removing of birthday children. It passes $arrBirthdayChildren (the array of birthday children), $modulConfig (the modul configuration to get user definings). It expects an array of birthday children as return value.

// config.php

$GLOBALS['TL_HOOKS']['birthdayListerModifyBirthdayChildren'][]   = array('MyClass', 'myModification');

// MyClass.php

class MyClass
{
	public function myModification($arrBirthdayChildren, $modulConfig)
	{
		if ($modulConfig->birthdayListPeriod == 'mySpecialPeriod')
		{
			// do custom modification here
		}
		return $arrBirthdayChildren;
	}
}

birthdayListerCheckBirthdayInPeriod

The "birthdayListerCheckBirthdayInPeriod" hook is triggered when checking if a birthday is in the defined period. So custom periods could be added or custom checking is possible. It passes $birthdayInPeriod (current decision if the birthday is in period), $modulConfig (the modul configuration to get user definings), $birthday (the date of birth normalized to the actual year), $birthdayChild (the database object of a member). It expects a boolean (is birthday in period) as return value.

// config.php

$GLOBALS['TL_HOOKS']['birthdayListerCheckBirthdayInPeriod'][]   = array('MyClass', 'myPeriodCheck');

// MyClass.php

class MyClass
{
	public function myPeriodCheck($birthdayInPeriod, $modulConfig, $birthday, $birthdayChild)
	{
		if ($modulConfig->birthdayListPeriod == 'mySpecialPeriod')
		{
			// do custom checking here
		}
		return $birthdayInPeriod;
	}
}
