Forthcoming birthdays within the next XX days

Featured Replies

It would make sense to be able to choose what forthcoming events should be displayed (like events AND birthdays).
Either having this as an option for birthdays with own forthcoming settings (as with events) OR include birthdays as an option to the already existing functionality of events?
E.g. Currently the following can be shown: "Forthcoming Calendar Events within the next 30 days", but there isn't a option to do the same with birthdays.

The cleanest way would of course be to add an own option for birthdays;

Current display;

Today's Birthdays


calendar 1 member is celebrating his/her birthday today


test_user(28)



Suggested display (option);

Today's Birthdays


1 member is celebrating his/her birthday today


test_user(28)


Forthcoming Birthdays within the next 7 days
test_user2(33) test_user3(21)


I believe this would allow IP.Board to support a wider amount of user groups, especially smaller communities and family boards?

Am I to believe that I'm the only one that thinks this to be a good addition?

would be a very nice addition to the forums.

smf use this aswell.

especially in busy boards you can see if some of your friends has a birthday in the next days.....

This is better to me implanted as a modification. he loads would be to great on a server to implant this as a standard feature.

With proper ACP settings (on/off, groups permissions, etc), the 'load' can be chosen by the admin per board and its usage.
Today there are many features that would put pressure on the DB, but fortunately you can chose not to have them :)
Forthcoming birthdays within the next XX days, ought to have these as well.
