JoomION adds birthdays, holidays and timed greetings

It displays greetings and date-based notices on a Joomla site, including birthdays, public holidays, vacations and custom events.

This need arises when a site wants more than fixed page text: a club may need member birthdays, while a company or school may need closures and holidays. Joomla core can publish a Custom module, manage users and groups, and use access levels to control who sees content. A developer could add time logic, calendar data and mail handling through a custom module or template override. Core does not provide this combined birthday calendar, event grouping, ICS subscription, frontend maintenance or scheduled birthday and holiday emails. According to the listing, this extension goes beyond core by combining those functions in one module, including German state holiday calculations and per-group visibility.

It is aimed at clubs, associations, schools, community sites and small organisations with logged-in members or recurring dates to maintain. A site that only needs a static welcome message, a standard Joomla calendar, or no shared personal-date data has little reason to install it.

The listing marks it as free software under GPL v2 or later and says it supports Joomla 5 and 6. JoomION lists 14 other extensions in the directory, while this entry has no reviews. Before installing, check how birthday and reminder emails are scheduled and delivered, what consent and privacy controls exist for personal dates, how time zones and translations are handled, and whether ICS or CSV imports validate remote and uploaded data. The listing does not explain those points or identify the exact extension type beyond its module-oriented description.
