Who want the birthday widget back? there it is

Tue, 24 Jan 2017 16:27:22 +0000

Dear partners and Efficy workers,

as far as I work with Efficy, The birthday widget is here to help me to remember the birthday of my pretty awesome coworkers.

since Pascal is out of the serverscripts language I ve remake the widget with real improvement.
Have it as a tribute to the community that loved it.

in macroWidgetsCustom this will add the entry in the available widget list only for the users of the SPECIAL group :

WidgetTemplate5@SPECIAL {[<%Macro("$MACRO$", $KEY$=5, $KIND$="Macro", $TITLE$="Today's Birthdays",
    $ICON$="../efficy/img/user16.gif", $COLLAPSED$="$COLLAPSE$", $SENTITY$="User",
    $CONFIG$=|{url:"dialog?entity=Acti&_MACRO=BirthdayEfficy&_MACROFILE=MacroWidgets.txt"}|)%>]}

In the same file : This will drag the magic back on line :

BirthdayEfficy [
    <%LoadScript("serverscripts/NL_server_birthday.js")%>
    <%RunScript("getBirthdays")%>
]

then add a NLserverbirthday.js file in your custom/serverscripts with this content :

function getBirthdays(){
    var result = '<table style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><tr><th colspan=2>A venir</th></tr>';

    var picBirthday = '<img src="<%GetCustomBase()%>img/birthday2.gif" style="width: 100%;"/>';
    var isBirthday = false;

    var 
        qh = 0,
        context = Database.OpenTemporaryContext(),
        sql = "";

    sql += "select TOP 3 ";
    sql += "    U.FULLNAME  ";
    sql += "    ,left(convert(nvarchar(10), C.BIRTHDAY, 103), 5) as birthday  ";
    sql += "    ,case when cast(getdate() as date) > cast(year(getdate()) as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4) ";
    sql += "        then cast(year(getdate()) +1 as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4) ";
    sql += "        else cast(year(getdate()) as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4) ";
    sql += "    end as nextBirthday ";
    sql += "    ,case when getdate() > cast(year(getdate()) as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4) ";
    sql += "        then datediff(day, GETDATE(), cast(year(getdate()) +1 as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4)) ";
    sql += "        else datediff(day, GETDATE(), cast(year(getdate()) as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4)) ";
    sql += "    end as daysToBirthday ";

    sql += "from  ";
    sql += "    ADMIN.ACC_ACCOUNTS U ";
    sql += "    inner join ADMIN.CONTACTS C on C.K_CONTACT = U.K_CONTACT ";
    sql += "where C.BIRTHDAY is not null ";
    sql += "order by  ";
    sql += "    case when cast(getdate() as date) > cast(year(getdate()) as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4) ";
    sql += "        then datediff(day, GETDATE(), cast(year(getdate()) +1 as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4)) ";
    sql += "        else datediff(day, GETDATE(), cast(year(getdate()) as nvarchar(4)) + right(convert(nvarchar(8),C.BIRTHDAY,112), 4)) ";
    sql += "    end asc";

    var ds = Database.ExecuteSystemSQLQuery(qh, context, sql, "", true, true, 1);
    ds.First;

    var today = new NL_date();
    today = today.toString("dd/MM");

    while (!ds.EoF) {
        if (today == ds.FieldByName("birthday").AsString) {
            result = '<table style="width: 100%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><tr><th colspan=2>C\'est le grand jour</th></tr>';
            result += '<tr><td colspan=2>' + ds.FieldByName("FULLNAME").AsString + '</td></tr>';
            result += '<tr><th colspan=2>A venir</th></tr>';
            isBirthday = true;
        }
        else{
            result += "<tr><td>" + ds.FieldByName("FULLNAME").AsString + "</td><td>" + ds.FieldByName("birthday").AsString + "</td></tr>";
        }

        ds.Next;
    }

    result += "</table>";

    result = (isBirthday)? picBirthday + result: result;

    return result
}

function NL_date(_date){
    this.date;

    this.date = (_date)? _date : new Date();
}

NL_date.prototype.toString = function(_format){


    var result = "";

    var yyyy = this.date.getFullYear().toString();
    var MM = (this.date.getMonth()+1).toString();
    var dd  = this.date.getDate().toString();

    dd = (dd.length == 2)? dd: "0" + dd;
    MM = (MM.length == 2)? MM: "0" + MM;

    result = (_format)? _format: "yyyyMMdd";
    result = result.replace(/yyyy/i, yyyy);
    result = result.replace(/MM/, MM);
    result = result.replace(/dd/i, dd);

    return result;
}

Feel free to change the Ugly hardcoded labels I ve used in there... (line 2 and 42)
And finally add in your custom/img folder a gif you want to appear for the birthday (i ve called it 100% width it s going to be huge^^)

I personnaly recommand my selection :

Last part add the users you want to a group called SPECIAL (don't add your boss imho)

Enjoy
