I'm really thankful to the developers of this birthday module. I installed in my site and it works fike a charm. My users are really happy to have this feature added in my site. One thing I cant beleive is the support of the developers. They answer my inquires in less than 24 hours. Despite the free offer to download the module the offer excellent support.

One thing i can say- Excellent job CODE JOOGLE!

I'm having problem with this module that same birthday is coming multiple times and also it showing past birthdays. Anybody can help?
I don't get why it is every single birthday mod for JomSocial insists on showing a person's year of birth or age. This mod shows not just the day, month and year or birth but aso the time! Which is wrong anyway cause it's code just copies and pastes it from JomSocial which defaults to a time of 23:59. So a birthday will say: Wednesday, 21st June 1978 23:59.

This mod has a lot going for it. It has a lot of features. But no birthday mod is any good if it cannot display the date properly.

Here's my suggestion:-

Change it so that the Super Admin can turn off year of birth and age. (Or each and every user (in which case the admin should be able to set a default off setting for age and YOB)).

And secondly, if someone's birthday is today, it should just say "Today!"

It would also be great if it could *also* import birthdays from custom profile fields provided they followed a specified format. (Example: FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, DAY, MONTH, YEAR). That's because there will be occasions when a birthday is not included in the default DOB field. Which is the case in my site.

But whereas my last suggestion is a more personal one, the previous two are vital. I can't use this mod without them. If they are added, this mod is a winner.
