Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 9, 20232 yr With the removal of the calendar, we lost birthdays. I'd like to request a page similar to what we had before where I could see all birthdays in a calendar format. Ideally by day, week, months, and year.
January 10, 20232 yr Just an idea (which I have already looked at, and declined to go further due to fear of the leap year) - an app which has a task which runs a task and converts birthdays to events would sort you out here, I think.

That might work. Are you interested in creating that? You might be able to put that on Market Place since technically, you are not restoring useful features that have been removed.

January 11, 20232 yr I’ve made my own back in October: There was some limitations like no sidebar block and not mobile friendly. You know, people are never satisfied so to avoid all the drama it could bring in support, I gave up. I don’t think I still have it.
January 11, 20232 yr Does it have to be in a calendar format? What about just a listing of users with birthdays in the next 30-60 days with the birthday posted next to them

What about just a listing of users with birthdays in the next 30-60 days with the birthday posted next to them I find people are creatures of habit and like things the way they had them, but that could work too. As a visual person, I really liked the old calendar that we had. It's a lot easier to see today's date highlighted or bolder and then a few days over I see a friends birthday listed. That's easier on me than a list.

That's easier on me than a list. I understand about wanting the old format. I'm just brainstorming to come up with some sort of alternative that might be easier to do programmatically but still fill the need. Path of least resistance and all...
January 11, 20232 yr The members widget contains already settings for todays / this months birthdays.It's not really exactly what you want, but better than nothing. Just a small hint because I noticed recently that many people weren't aware of this:)
January 11, 20232 yr @Square Wheels Perhaps I am missing something but ,as it stands now, the default setting is 'Overview'. Would changing the default setting to 'Monthly' solve your problem? It would then display the 'Calendar' as it was previously. You could even set up the RSS feed if so desired. Apologies if I have indeed missed something here.

January 11, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, Square Wheels said: birthdays have been removed. Birthday (day, month and year) are columns on members table and are still there, editable via profile. It wasn’t removed. Displaying birthdays in Calendar was.

Displaying birthdays in Calendar was. Sorry, I should have been clearer "Regardless of the display view, birthdays have been removed from the Events view (formerly Calendar).".
