How to create a birthday list

Basics:
It's still a user macro, so "activating" it in Confluence will look the same as before. We developed it on your Confluence version and User Profiles for Confluence 2.1.0 so in case anything doesn't work as expected, please make sure you're already using the latest version.
Changes:
You can now enter the profile element name as a macro parameter, meaning you can configure the macro like any old Confluence macro after you've added it to the page and then decide if it should filter according to the "Birthday" element or for example a different element "Start date".
No matter which profile element you choose, the macro still expects a date in the syntax DD.MM. The year after that will not be taken into account, so it's optional.

Developing a macro that always shows the current day's/month's birthday or reviewing the code of such a macro is outside of our product support.
