Birthday Reminder
Scans your Address Book for birthdays and creates appointment reminders.
With a single-click, you can scans your Address Books and display your contact birthday information. You can review and create multiple reminders for each birthday. Multiple reminders help users schedule plans in advance of a birthday.
Reminders can be:
- "On-the-day-of" the birthday
- "1,2...7" days before the birthday
- "1,2...4" weeks before the birthday
This updated version of the Birthday Reminder Zimlet includes the following changes:
- Scan entire Address Book and add multiple yearly-recurring appointments.
- Allow users to automatically create Birthday Reminders when saving individual contacts by adding "Save & Add Birthday" button, which allows users to easily create Birthday Reminders.
- Allow scanning of entire Address Book multiple times without duplicating already-created-reminders.
- Ability to "Reset Birthday Reminders" Calendar.
- Added support to quickly select and unselect all Reminders to add.

I installed this zimlet, and it seems to work well. All the birthdays are gathered and entered into a calendar.
The only problem is that it interprets UK dates in the US format. This means that dd/mm/yyyy is interpreted as mm/dd/yyyy. A birthday that occurs on 12th April therefore occurs on 4th December etc.
Also, is it possible to collect birthdays from shared calendars? I couldn't see how to make that happen.
Seems as if this nice zimlet isn't working anymore in the 7.x series. Will there be an update?
Hello,
I have the same issue as Simonalane.
I correct the "bug" with the following change in birthdayreminder.js
diff -e ../birthdayreminder.js.ori birthdayreminder.js488c var normalizedBD = this._normalizeDate(tmparry[1], tmparry[2], tmparry[0]);.
347c var birthday = this._normalizeDate(tmparry[1], tmparry[2], tmparry[0]);.
After this change and new installation, the zimlet work fine on my 7.1.4_GA_2555.RHEL5_64
Best Regard and many thanks

Hello,
After a birthday change in the contact, i run the script again and display me the old birthday Date.
After a Logout/Login, the birthday date was displayed correctly.
Best Regards
Dan
