 * Hello
 * I still think, this is the most powerful plugin for wordpress 🙂
 * But now i have a problem: i have a database with users and birthdays included.
   my idea is, to show only the birthday-year on the frontend. but all i can display
   is the original birthday-entry.
 * can you please give me a hint? ps: can the german date format be the problem?

 * If the birthday field is a date-type field, you can set it to display only the
   year.
 * In the field definition for your birthday field, you can set the display format
   in the “Attributes” with a setting like “format::Y”
