Error: Call to undefined method IPS\calendar\Date::getBirthdays()

[bubblesnout]

Today I’ve updated to the latest version (4.7.3) and now I am sporadically receiving the following error when accessing our forums home page.

Looks to be related to the calendar and/or the “Todays Birthdays” widget which we have on the home page - this is currently not appearing.

Of course if this is still happening with all 3rd party items disabled, please let us know

This is referencing the Todays Birthdays widget, which to my understanding is a built in feature? I have never installed a plug-in for it or anything else calendar related.

That's a really strange feature to remove, any idea why they would remove a feature as simple as the ability to show birthdays in the calendar and in a widget? Users still have their birthdays on their profile, seems really strange to not be able to show these on the calendar.

Thanks, I have applied this which seems to have resolved the error. A little miffed we can't display users birthdays in a widget anymore, our users would use this quite heavily to recognise other users birthdays and make "happy birthday" topics.

This is something you would really need to post as feedback here
