Request - Birthday Reminder Email
Genosis
Welcome to the forums Martin.
Feels like the post is a cross between a Feature request / suggestion and a coding question.
You're right that currently there is not a module that sends out
(to who?) an email reminder for upcoming birthday events.
How to code it: You'll need to build a module to do this. There is no easy vs hard way to build a module, its just language. If you haven't worked with code before im not sure where to point you to.
Code is a language just like english is, you make sentences to give instructions.
We do build sponsored modules for the community if you wanted to sponsor it:

If you do know php and would like to build a module for this, then the way I would go about it would be:
#1 ) create a new module structure
Docs: "Creating a Module"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/26/creating-a-module
#2 ) Use the "Events and Listeners" system to fire off a function on either the
'daily_maintenance' or the
'hourly_maintenance' events that would do a search for the coming birthdays, then send an email.
