Features

• Users can register their birthday (day, month, and optionally year) using a slash command.
• An auto-updating birthday embed displays all registered birthdays organized by month, with a "Set Birthday" button for easy registration.
• The bot automatically sends birthday congratulation messages every day at midnight.
• Optionally assign a birthday role to users on their birthday (removed automatically the next day).
• If a user provides their birth year, the congratulation message can include their age.
• Optional pre-birthday notifications posted in the birthday channel a configurable number of days before a user's birthday. Multiple lead times can be configured (e.g. both 7 days and 1 day before).
• /birthday upcoming lets any member preview the next N days of upcoming birthdays without browsing the embed.
• Birthday data is automatically removed when a member leaves the server.
• Optional admin birthday management: admins can set, remove, lock, and unlock user birthdays.

Setup

1. Create a channel where the birthday embed and congratulation messages will be sent, and configure it in the module configuration.
2. Make sure the bot has View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links, and Manage Messages permissions in the birthday channel.
3. If you want to use the birthday role feature, create a role and configure it in the module configuration. Ensure the bot's role is positioned above the birthday role in the role hierarchy.

Usage

Users can interact with the birthday module using the following commands:

• Use /birthday set to register their birthday, or click the "Set Birthday" button on the birthday embed. The year is optional -- if provided, the bot will display their age on their birthday.
• Use /birthday status to view their currently registered birthday.
• Use /birthday delete to remove their birthday from the calendar.
• Use /birthday upcoming to view birthdays coming up in the next N days. The default look-ahead range is configured in the configuration; members can override it with the optional days argument.

Admin birthday management

If enabled in the configuration, admins can use the /manage-birthday command to manage user birthdays:

• Set a user's birthday.
• Remove a user's birthday.
• Lock a birthday - prevents the user from editing or deleting it themselves.
• Unlock a previously locked birthday.

Locked birthdays show a lock indicator when users view their own birthday status.

Automatic birthday checks

Every day at midnight, the bot checks for birthdays and:

1. Sends a congratulation message for each user whose birthday is today.
2. Assigns the configured birthday role (if set) and removes it from users whose birthday has passed.
3. Updates the birthday embed with the latest data.

Commands

Understand the documentation

In these docs, name:<Type> is an option of a slash-command with name name and the type Type. Options that not required, are described as [name:<Type>]. If the action of a command is vastly different between required and not-required options, we might list them separately.

Examples

• /moderate ban user:<Member>: This command (/moderate ban) has an required option with the name "user" that only accepts one member as a value.
• /moderate ban victim:<Member> reason:<Text>: This command (/moderate ban) has an required option with the name "victim" that only accepts one member as a value and another required option with the name "reason" that accepts any text as an value.
• /moderate ban victim:<Member> reason:<Text> [proof:<Attachment>]: This command (/moderate ban) has an required option with the name "victim" that only accepts one member as a value, another required option with the name "reason" that accepts any text as an value and a not-required option with the name "proof" which allows one attachment as its value.

Troubleshooting

The birthday embed is not showing up

• Make sure the configured birthday channel exists and the bot has View Channel, Send Messages, and Embed Links permissions.
• Ensure that "Birthday-Embed enabled" is turned on in the configuration.

Birthday roles are not being assigned or removed

• Make sure a birthday role is configured in the module configuration.
• Ensure the bot's role is positioned above the birthday role in the server's role hierarchy.
• Verify the bot has the Manage Roles permission.

Stored data

The following data is being stored about every registered birthday:

• The Discord User ID of the member
• The birthday day and month
• The birth year (if provided by the user)
• Whether the birthday is locked (if admin management is enabled)
• Metadata about the entry (date when created and last updated)

To remove all data stored by this module, purge the module database.
