Well first of all you neeed the birthday hack which is easy to put.
Just go into your admin panel >> Profile Feields>> add on call birthday
then fill it all out and then when you get to the feidl type set it as date.
then click submit
now to add the table you need to go to your admin panel >> templates editing >> fidn your template>> and then open index_body.tpl
then find some thing like this
then
right before the | part you need to add
and thats how it is added :)

Correction michael
you have to wait 24 hours for the birthday to show up
soo if some one regsiteres on there birthday it wont show up because by the next 24 hours it will be past there birthday.
So its smart to have it required for your regsitstration

How does this code tell what user has a birthday?
| Code: | <tr> <td class="row1" align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1"><img src="http://howtodoit.myfastforum.org/templates/myfs_howtodoit1/images/birthday.gif" alt="{L_BIRTHDAY}" /></td>
<td class="row1" align="left"><span class="gensmall">{MYFF.BIRTHDAY}</span> </td> </tr> |
The MYFF.Birthday puts the text Birthdays in there right?
|
Andrew(AP)
|
yes it does put the text birthday in there.
so you don tneed to do any thing.
