Birthday List
Ever forget a birthday? Not a happy scene, huh? Well, you never have to end up in the forgot-a-birthday-doghouse again with my Wordpress Plugin Birthday List. Enter the birthdays you want to remember and it will warn you 7 days in advance. The display can be inserted anywhere you like. It will fit most sidebars and footers with little or no tweaking. I currently have mine in the footer. Check it out.
Birthday List has been downloaded 587 times from this site. Shouldn’t you try it out?
1. Unzip and Copy (upload) the nbday folder (which contains this file and nbday_en.php)
to your wp-content/plugins folder.
2. Activate your plugin.
3. Activation will create the nbday table and add “Birthday List” to your Tools menu. It will also add an ‘Upcoming Birthday’ box to the ‘Right Now’ section of the Dashboard. This box will show upcoming birthdays for the current month.
4. If you wish to show upcoming birthdays on your site, check out the readme.txt for the command to use. I would suggest putting it in the footer as it may take some tweaking to fit a narrow sidebar. You may also need to tweak your css to match your site.
The Birthday List page will allow you to enter the birthday of friends and family. The plugin will calculate their age, their Sun sign and the date of their next birthday and display it in a list below the form.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome. If you’re having a problem with Birthday List, let me know. You can leave a comment below or contact me HERE.
I nearly melted my brain learning to write the code for this thing and all because I forgot my grandson’s birthday. If you find this plugin helps keep you out of the forgot-an-important-birthday doghouse, consider donating a buck or two or three to the cause. Thanks.
