This wouldn't be hard to do...just look at the template "calendar_birthday" and see how the birthday is called then edit forumhome to include the info.

When you guys make this hack, do you think it would be possible to make it so you can display it on a non vb page also? Would be very nice to show this on news page as well

I've just cobbled this together for forums/index.php.

1) Open index.php and under the line that starts $templatesused='error_nopermission you need to add this:

Code:

$templateused.=',calendar_birthday';

then, straight after require('./global.php'); add this:

Code:

$today = vbdate("m-d",time());
$birthdays = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE birthday LIKE('%-$today')");
while ($birthday = $DB_site->fetch_array($birthdays)) {
	$bd_user = $birthday[username];
	$bd_userid = $birthday[userid];
	$datebits = explode("-", $birthday[birthday]);
	$bdage = date("Y") - $datebits[0];
	if ($bdage > 0) $age = "($bdage)";
	else $age = "";
	eval ("\$todaybirthdays .= \"".gettemplate("calendar_birthday")."\";");
	}

When you have done that, edit your forumhome template and add $todaybirthdays wherever you want the birthdays to appear.

Using this hack will add one extra query to the main forums page (as you can see).
