Hi all,
With TB 3.01 coming out (thanks!!), I tried again to upgrade, and with some tips posted on the forum I got TB 3.01 to work 
I also installed the latest (beta) Lightning addon, and that works just fine too.
But I was under the impression that with the new 'Birthday/Age' fields in the Address Book, these would show up in Lightning automagically as well....
As the plugin I used to use (Birthday Reminder) doesn't work for 3.01, I'm looking for a way to add the Birthdays into Lightning.
Is there a way to do this -without- adding addons to TB3? Or do I just have to wait for the update? Or is there some addon that will do this and more?
I have to admit I liked Birthday Reminder for the list it showed you when starting TB.
cheers for any anwers,
rob

Birthdays have always been kludgey in everything, getting things to work back and forth. I gave up on it a long time ago and just added birthday events to my calendar. Now they always work.
I don't think Lightning does anything with them (nor does Thunderbird). I don't think they sync properly to Google Calendar all the time with the extension either. Not sure if Google Calendar handles them properly.
The only thing I ever had that DID handle them properly was my Palm.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Hi,
I've got the birthday thingy working with the "ThunderBirthday" plugin. You'll have to add "MoreFunctionsForAddressBook" as well to get it properly working and to 'see' the birthday entries in a new calender.
But it seems to work and Birthdays are showing in the agenda. I will keep you informed about my experiences.
cheers,
rob
as well. I wish TB would use his code to make theirs work better.
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
