@amitchone hello, thanks for creating this module. When I try git clone your repository I get unable to access, the TLS connection was non-properly terminated. Not sure what’s wrong.

You have to send out /MagicMirror/modules folder with:
git clone https://github.com/amitchone/MMM-birthdays.git

Hi! I came across your module yesterday and installed it. First of all, thanks for the module and the excellent guide. I’m using it with a .*json document, and I find it convenient that it’s separated and doesn’t need to be in the config.

Do you have any plans to add icons for birthdays in the future? An idea would be to display round birthdays with balloons, confetti, or just colored or monochrome icons that can be customized. I think that would be great.

@Chazzer you can also look at my birthday list module

https://github.com/sdetweil/birthdaylist

from a csv, multiple people with the same are on the same line

i have an image, but its the same…
could be extended to add another csv column with the image name

@sdetweil Hello, thank you for the module recommendation. I’ll definitely take a closer look at it. Could you please share a screenshot that includes the icon and birthdays?

@Chazzer

only shows this month forward to end of the year, birthdays prior to today in this month are greyed out
multiple people can have the same BD… but same or different ages listed together…

this image is the calendar sheet with the month day number on it

the module settings for this image are

  {
        module: "birthdaylist",
        disabled: false,
        position:'top_left',
        config: {
			language: "en",
			dimmEntries: true,  // true: dims entries and the associated
					     //       symbol when the date has expired.
				             // false: dont display entries and the associated
					     //        symbol when the date has expired.
			initialLoadDelay: 0, // How many seconds to wait on a fresh start up.
					     // This is to prevent collision with all other modules also
					     // loading all at the same time. This only happens once,
					     // when the mirror first starts up.
			updateDelay: 5,      // How many seconds after midnight before a refresh
					     // This is to prevent collision with other
					     // modules refreshing at the same time.
			currentMonthOnly: false,  // will show birthdays for the current month only if true
			maxEntries: 0,			 // maximum entries to show, default is all
			dateFormat: '',			 // date format for birthday (default is none), could be 'Do' for 'Sep 12th'
			ageFormat:'',			 // some format string for the persons age, '[ n ]'  n will be replace by age value
			debug:false
        }
}

is there a way to include google contacts birthdays, instead of individually adding birthdates?
