Modify $birthdays display

[iwbyte]

In VB2, I had hacked up the today's birthdays display to show a link to send a person an ecard (using photopost). i.e. instead of just:

today's birthdays:
bob
jane
mary

it was
today's birthdays:
bob - send ecard
jane -send ecard
mary -send ecard

I see that I need to hack up the build_birthdays() function in functions_databuild.php, and i've done so, but now I don't see any changes - is this function only run once a day?

Is there some other way I should be doing it?

Necessity being maternal and all that - I figured it out. I had made the correct changes in the file, but couldn't figure out how to get the function run again. Did some more poking around on different search terms and found this page that helped me out:
