Examples

/birthday set

Using slash command without arguments will open a Modal Form requesting some required information such the day and month of your birthday.

/birthday set 5 8 2004

In this example, the birthday will be set to August 8, 2004, at 12:00 AM using the server's time zone. For instance, if the server is configured to use the Europe/Paris time zone, the birthday will be set according to Paris local time, and the birthday notification will be triggered when it is August 8 in Paris.

You can avoid this behavior by adding the time zone argument to the command, so the birthday is not set according to the server's configured time zone but instead to the time zone you specify.

For example, assuming you live in New York City, you can use the America/New_York time zone in the command as follows:

/birthday set 5 8 2004 America/New_York

How the Time Zone of the server works in your Birthday

The time zone defines the relationship between the date you enter and the local time that Zergrosh should use to send birthday notifications. For example, if the server uses the Paris time zone and you set your birthday to August 8, Zergrosh will send the notification when it is August 8 in Paris.

This behavior can be changed if you specify the timezone when setting your birthday. For instance, if you set your birthday to August 8 in the New York timezone, Zergrosh will send the notification when it is August 8 in New York, regardless of the server's configured timezone.

If you don't specify a time zone when setting your birthday, Zergrosh will use the server's configured time zone.
