Hooks

[](#hooks)

### birthdayMailerAbortSendMail

[](#birthdaymailerabortsendmail)

The "birthdayMailerAbortSendMail" hook is triggered for for checking if a birthday mail should be send. So custom checking for each birthday child is possible. It passes `$birthdayChildConfig` (the config of the current birthday child) and `$blnAbortSendMail` (the current value, if sending should be aborted). It expects a boolean return value.

```
// config.php

$GLOBALS['TL_HOOKS']['birthdayMailerAbortSendMail'][]   = array('MyClass', 'myAbortSendMail');

// MyClass.php

class MyClass
{
	public function myAbortSendMail($birthdayChildConfig, $blnAbortSendMail)
	{
		if ($blnAbortSendMail !== TRUE && $birthdayChildConfig->id == 1)
		{
			$blnAbortSendMail = true;
			$this->log('SEnding birthday mail to member with id "1" was aborted.', 'MyClass myAbortSendMail()', TL_INFO);
		}
		return $blnAbortSendMail;
	}
}

```
