I'm currently translating the module into german. On page http://localhost/?q=birthdays the birthdays (without a year) are displayed as 'day.month' (eg. 31.01) but should have a dot behind the month, too (31.01.). For me it looks like the way the date is derived from the system settings need to be improved (maybe a configurable field in the settings needs to be provided).

By the way: there are also two untranslatable strings on page ?q=admin/settings/birthdays/sync: 'Profile to Birthdays' and vice versa.

Great catch, I didn't know that. I'll try to think of a solution. Hopefully without adding configurations.

BTW, the 2 untranslatable strings have been fixed. Both in D6 and D5.

Hi,

It also would be great if the module would get the date format from the Drupal core settings even for the profile page. Since it looks a pretty much strange that it uses a custom date format. That's fine that it adds the age after the date, but the format of the date should be in the format set up in Drupal earlier.

I have another question.. Why does it sets a left margin or whatever to the date field on the profile page?

Bumping version. The D7 version uses Drupal's date formatting.

@Niklas, I'm not seeing where in D7 I can use the date formatter? I certainly can't change the format in Views, I couldn't find the option through display options in account settings either.

Of course it is possible to rewrite the value using format_date, but I don't see that as a permanent solution.

Either way, +1

Are you sure you're using the latest development version on the 7.x branch? You can change the display options on the "Manage display" tab of the bundle and also in Views. If that's not working for you, maybe we should open a seperate issue and see if we can fix it.

@Niklas, development versions are for development, not for production. I do not deliver products with dev version modules, nor do I want to be required to (and I know I'm not the only one on this). Actually, I find the beta status of the module risky enough.

If you have new features tested and ready for production, I'm looking forward to seeing a new update pop up in my update manager.

how can you get the output to display "January, 1" instead of "01/01"
