[XFR] Birthdays

[Pepelac]

Add-on for XenForo Beta 5

Description
Shows list of users, who have a birthday today in the sidebar.

What it can do
Please, refer to attachments to see all possible settings



Why
I've made this if there already is the birthdays add-on?
Because friend of mine, who need this block on his forum, asked me about some new options, which wasn't implemented in the Xen-TR Show Today's Birthday add-on; because that add-on requires a template edit to install it; and some other stuff...
This is not a copy of the Xen-TR Show Today's Birthday add-on, it's written completely from the scratch.

Installation

• upload contents of the upload folder to your server (be careful, some file managers can replace content of the destination folder with the new content)
• install add-on via control panel (use addon_XfRuBirthdays_EN.xml file)
• play with the add-on settings

Future plans
Make an option to send (using cron) alerts to users, who have a birthday.

Very, very nice! I like that it takes user's preferences into account. Spot on, man!

Well done, keep it up!

Is there a template edit required. I set the settings and marked "Always Show" but it's not appearing.

Template edit isn't required. Try without other plugins and with default style.

Still isn't working Romchik®. I'm using Flexile as default theme and have a lot of modifications. Is it just working on the default theme, without addons ?

Check your settings. If there in no problem in the settings, try to disable add-ons and see, if it will help.
You can see at the screenshot, that this add-on works with the Flexile style (no template modifications were made after add-on installation). Second screenshot - settings, with them the first screenshot was made.
