Superb....that works just fine. Once again many thanks for a prompt solution to a pressing problem. I have at least one site admin who will be delighted by this. Diolch yn fawr :)

Ahhh ...of course I realise now that the more link IS plain text :) But where should that link go. Not sure how to construct it?

Got the links working but the more link code displays as text. I'm thinking we may get 10 a day max on a busy day but I don't want the b'day list to take up half the column if poss.

Cheers

Note that this adds an extra database query for every user in the birthday list so will load the server a bit more, but if the limit is still four its not much of an issue. If greater, let me know and I'll give you some template code that's a bit more complicated but will get all the profile_urls in one hit.

Hoping to get all the birthdays for a single day in a single hit. Ideally though I would like to display 4 followed by a more button to reveal the rest so that the widget doesnt take up too much page real estate. Is that possible?

A further question occurs to me. Should 'enter your b'day' q be in user/account or create account? At the moment I have it in both but it does not appear on the create an account page?

Many thanks.....I have it now on the home page of AC (bottom right for now till I've styled it a bit) but it doesn't appear that the icons are linked to the members profile pages. What I was hoping for is a list of clickable icons that admins can use to access profiles and leave birthday messages.

Also I added the code above to a Template Code box on sitebuilder and got a template error message ( see screenshot below )

I am still somewhat confused. When I go to the Form Designer in User Accounts I find that there is already a birthday field there user_profile_birthday

Can I not use this?

Many thanks :) I just implemented this but its not showing any b'days for today. That may be because there aren't any but with 4000 members you would expect an average of 10 a day (approx).

Possible gotchas:-

1. Should I enable this for all quotas? Which I did.

2. Also when you say 'groups' does that mean quotas?

Cheers
