Mothers Day and such events I can add however I would like to make the feature where a person can add events such as birthdays themselves. It would also be nice if the person could chose which dates they would like to be reminded of. I am hoping to give reminders lets say a week before,3 days before and the day of. What is the easiest way of tackling this? I'm sorry if this is something to complex to ask. I'm currently working through all the tutorials and hoping that will help too. Thank you!

Even if you aren't a Swede welcome to BT and congratulations on diving right in and getting first star. No plugin available as yet but would imagine someone will put something like that together soon. I assume you use Google Calendar or similar at the moment but there are a load of web widgets, jquery and so on out there that can take care of a lot of what you're looking for. Have a look at some sites like this and see if anything looks groovy: http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2012/04/jquery-calendar-date-pickers.html All the best with it and once again welcome to BT!

Keep active in the forums, one of the best ways to learn and never hesitate to shout if you get stuck. Peace Comments Nice one. Few of us Europeans living in the US on here.
