    Hi,

    For an intranet site, We are using your plugin already for our regular events/agenda.
    But we would like to add the upcoming birthdays to this agenda showing them in on the agenda page together with the regular events. And in a seperate ‘upcoming birthdays’ widget.
    This seems possible with your pro plugin, with tags/categories and imports.

    Now the difficult question, can this be linked to the birthdate and info of the users account (we are using Buddypress/bbpress for the users).

    And what would be the possibilities for customizations for this?

    Kind regards,

    Martijn

    Hi Martijn,

    Thanks for reaching out to us and for your interest in our products 🙂

    Let’s break this down into the following steps:

    • Creating the birthday event: I don’t see a way of doing this ‘automagically’, I’d say importing a CSV file or manually creating these is the way to go. If you decide to use Events Calendar PRO you can make the event recur every year so you don’t have to add the event again next year.
    • Linking the event to the user profile in bbPress: for this you’ll need to flag these events in some way (via a tag or event category for example) and add the user profile URL as event website (or PRO additional field). Then using the tribe_get_event_link filter you can route ‘birthday’ events to the bbPress profile.

    Hope this makes sense, we can help with a customization like this one in our premium forums.

    Please let me know if it answers your question,
    Best,
    Nico

    Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

    Thanks so much!
