I downloaded this module and it's fast and easy. It is of great help in my new website powered by joomla.
This is a very nice mod, works out of the box with community builder, my only criticism is it's a shame you cannot choose between showing name or user name.

It's wrong. You CAN show NAME or USERNAME, but you must configure the module yourself.
Set value of the parameter Field "Name" to 'username' instead 'name' (as by default set).

My members adored the birthday notification mod on my old J 1.0 site, so I was disappointed not to find one for 1.5. You have saved the day with this!! Your mod worked out of the box with CB! I just added back the cb_birthday field (and made easy edits to the ini file to remove user's AGE - I'm amazed anyone really wants to see that ;)) I am just thrilled!

This is a cool little module and is great for a website I'm making for a skating club so logged in users can see whose birthday is coming up.
As far as using INI-files to modify so the person's AGE doesn't show, I would sure appreciate some instructions on exactly where to look and how to make mods.

I agree with the previous reviewer. There's so many people out there who don't want their age shown. It's a nice module, yes I can hack the age off, but I bet it would be much more popular if there is an option to hide the age.

I think its a good module but it would be great if you could give the option to remove the display of the age of the person in a easier ways than hacking the language files, I think it would be neat to have that option as part of the module interface.

Every site very specific and it's impossible to make settings for everything. Using INI-files everyone can modify view as wish for different days.
Maybe it is not simple module, but universal.

This a great module to have and love the avatar support for it also.

Thanks for this good module!
I just added in the select "u.block = 0" to have only the birthdays of active members. Now it works like I wish it to do...
Thanks again...

Thank for feature-adding!
I added this option in the new release (ver. 0.6)

I love this -- it's just what I want, but there should be a way to format what appears in the module.
I installed it on our site and it worked right away. However, I was horrified when I looked at the page and saw:
Ann Smith
43 years old!
birthday was yesterday
I'm quite sure our members don't want the world to know how old they are-- we just want the birthdate! I can't find a support site to see if it can be configured this way.

This problem was solved, when janeinpa wrote me via e-mail.
You can rich modify output of the module by changing translation ini-file and setting date format parameter.
For this case solution was to set date format as "%A %B %e" and use in ini-file "%1$s — %4$s" for output.
