How about a birthday plugin?

How about a birthday plugin?
My moderator who usually keeps track of them has finally had enough of trying to keep track of 800 birthdays.

Anyone feel like tackling it? I can't be the only one that would like to acknowledge users in some small way.

Hi Dat!

I was hoping someone might have whipped one up like some of the other forums have.

I suppose there would need to be a spot in the user profile with drop downs to set their birth date and then have either a list of "Today's Birthdays" or even "This Week's Birthdays" be listed below the forum listing on the Category Page and above the = Forum has new posts - Mark all read.

It would be nice if we could get some hints as to what will be included in the forum v.2 so no one is duplicating any work.

Shoot me an email and maybe the Diner will pay for development and then we can offer it at a small price to recoup the development costs.

Hi,

This is a plugin I wrote for Gossamer Community, maybe it would be of some use? http://www.ultranerds.com/.../BirthdayEmail_L155/ (Gossamer Community is free).

If you have any questions, please let me know (I could port this over to Gossamer Forum for you, for a fee - so please contact me if you didn't want to go down the Gossamer Community route).

Cheers
