Get Notified of User's One Year Anniversary After Registration – Possible?

    Hi,

    I’ve tried to find a plugin but haven’t been 100% successful.

    Members List will let me see a list of users via the registration date. So the information is in the database to be used.

    Is there anyway of getting notified as the WP Admin when a user reaches the 365th day after they registered — ie, their one-year anniversary as a member of the site?

    So put simply, something along the lines of:

    <?php

function user_anniversary {
if user = subscriber (& registration date +365 days = today) 

action "notify Admin (via email preferably)" 

}

    As you may guess, I’m not a natural php coder!! 😉

    I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one having requested this, but can’t seem to find anything.

    Any pointers gratefully received.

    Cheers,

    Tracy

    Here’s a quick, untested, snippet that will hopefully inspire you.

    <?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();

$registered = $current_user->user_registered;
$now        = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$diff       = strtotime($now) - strtotime($registered);
$days       = $diff / (60 * 60 *24);
$daysround  = round($days);

if( $daysround == 365 ) echo "Happy anniversary";
?>

    Don’t forget leap years…

    Hi tcbarrett,

    Thanks for this — looks promising.

    Somehow I need to add an instruction to email Admin in place of the:

    echo "Happy anniversary"

    I found this useful snippet (at http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/18/10-useful-wordpress-hook-hacks/) that looks well on the way to getting what I want along with the above code (slighly hacked for this purpose):

    if (!wp_next_scheduled('my_task_hook')) {
   wp_schedule_event( time(), 'daily', 'my_task_hook' );
}

add_action( 'my_task_hook', 'my_task_function' );

function my_task_function() {
  wp_mail('blogadmin@mysite.com', 'Automatic email', 'User-name has been a member for one year.');
}

    Basically, a scheduled event happening daily, that will call the function to check if any user has been a member for 365 days.

    I just don’t know how to marry the two snippets of code above. As I say, I’m not a programmer so I’m relying heavily on you experts out there.

    Cheers,

    Tracy
