        {

            //set menu item for "Birthdays" page
            public function getMenuItem()
            {
                //$language - helps our site to be multilingual
                $language = OW::getLanguage();

                //initializing menu item
                $item = new BASE_MenuItem();

                $item->setLabel($language->text('base', 'user_list_menu_item_birthdays'))
                    ->setKey('birthdays')
                    ->setUrl(OW::getRouter()
                        ->urlForRoute('birthdays_users'))
                    ->setOrder(5)
                    ->setIconClass('ow_ic_calendar');

                if ( $this->isCase() )
                {
                    $item->setActive(true); // activate menu if "Birthdays" selected
                }

                return $item;
            }

                return false !== strstr(OW::getRequest()->getRequestUri(), OW::getRouter()->uriForRoute('birthdays_users'));
            }

            {
                $service = BOL_UserService::getInstance();

                //set date bounds for birthdays
                $period = array(

                    'end' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+7 day'))
                );

                return array(
                    $service->findListByBirthdayPeriod($period['start'], $period['end'], $first, $count), // get users
                    $service->countByBirthdayPeriod($start, $end) // count users
                );
            }
        }

        // register data for "Birthdays" page. 
        OW::getRegistry()->addToArray('users_page_data', new BIRTHDAYS_UsersPageData());
