Birthdays automatically added to the news Fader..

[blueshead]

When will this  be possible?

Hi blueshead,

We're aware of the demand for this and it is on our dev's list for something to consider in the future, however there's no ETA for when it would be expected. I'm afraid adding them in manually as events in the calendar would be the only way at the moment. Sorry

CheatAreZee Is there any way to have the link in the info center only show up there when there is actually a birthday and not be there when there isn't?

Thanks

[CheatAreZee]

I don't believe that's possible, given the way that birthdays are currently handled.

[Forever Sunshine]

OK worth a try but sure would be nice.

Thanks CheatAreZee

This would be a slightly better step then me having to do the birthdays manually....

That wouldn't be possible, Forever Sunshine & blueshead, but I'm playing around with a plugin idea that uses a super user key to place a notification on the forum for other members when you log in and it's your birthday. The stipulation is that it only works if you log on to the forum on your birthday, or if a user visits the profile of someone (whose privacy settings are configured to display the birthday) whose birthday is that day. If neither of those conditions are met, the notification text wouldn't display even if it was someone's birthday.

It's not a particularly reliable workaround and I'm not even close to done with the plugin, but it's an example of a solution someone could come up with.

Hi






Now that the new forum has been installed we have lost the showing of birthdays in the stats area. Is it possible to have this put back? or is there a workaround to show it other than show birthdays display message?

[CheatAreZee]

Hi engines,

Unfortunately that's not currently possible at this time. You can still view todays birthdays by clicking the "View All Birthdays" link in your info center, however

Yes we use that but people are set in their ways and liked the old display in the stats area. Thanks for you comment though.
