DBirthdays module (mod_dbirthdays) shows nearest birthdays (future or past) of your site users.

change output text?

I love DBirthdays, I have it installed on 2 sites already. Thank you for such a great module! I also installed DAvatar so that the user's avatar from CB would show up in the birthday list, and it works just perfectly. DBirthdays also works great with uddeIM, which is wonderful.

One small thing (and it is a VERY small thing). I know that English is not your native language so this is probably the reason. On the frontend text where it says "birthday will [date]" is there any way to change it to say "birthday will be [date ]" ? The syntax is wrong for English. The word "be" needs to be added. Is there any way to fix this?

Like I said, it's a very small problem and doesn't stop me from using this great module. I appreciate your work.

Very big thank for correction. You are the first who say about that error. I'll correct it in future.

Of course, You can easy change output format. There are two ways:
1 (I prefer this way). Make changes in the module language file. For English language it's {joomla_root}/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_dbirthdays.ini
At the end of the file you'll find strings to be changed. Exactly you need this part:
Code: Select all
DBD BIRTHDAY TODAY=birthday is
DBD BIRTHDAY WILL=birthday will
DBD BIRTHDAY WAS=birthday was

Change "action" to correct string:
DBD BIRTHDAY WILL=birthday will be


2. Modify output format in the module parameters group Birthday output formats.
