birthdaylist

[MyMirror]

@sdetweil

thank you very much for your great birthday overview.
Unfortunately, as you wrote here ( https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18107/mmm-birthdays/11 ), the list is limited to the end of the month or year.
Is it possible to add 2 more options to extend the display beyond the end of the month or year? Because this way I can only see at the beginning of the month/year if someone has a birthday on 01.01., for example.
And … could the list also have an underlined heading “Birthdays”?

I wish you all a happy new year. Stay healthy.

Jens

@MyMirror go to the module folder and do

git pull

to get underlined header just add the header to the config

{
        module: "birthdaylist",
        position:'top_left',
        header:"birthday list header",
        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
                }
}

for year end wrap around, set
currentMonthOnly:false,

@MyMirror what if you change
currentMothOnly: to false from true?

underline, use custom.css to add the underline

@sdetweil

Sure …

        {
                module: "birthdaylist",
                position:'top_left',
                header:"Geburtstage",
                config: {
                language: "de",
                dimmEntries: false,             // 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: 10,           // 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: 10,                 // 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
                }
        },

10 maxEntries just for the test, if this works, i would go to 4.
On my screen I get this:
![screenshot](https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/CBHojVsL)
So ... only 3 entries and i took your example
