birthdaylist

MyMirror

Yes, of course.
What should i try?
Add this:
15/01/1987,suzie
12/05/1951, Sam

sdetweil

@MyMirror that second line shouldbe there already, do this

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/birthdaylist
git checkout data/bdl.csv

then look at the file again

it should start like mine
suzie on the second line

MyMirror

@sdetweil

my bdl.csv:

my output:

4 lines

MyMirror

@sdetweil

is a blank needed before “Suzie”?

sdetweil

@MyMirror correct

the bd on Dec 19th is in the past, and u have

dimmEntries: false

so, past BD’s are not dispplayed

sdetweil

@MyMirror said in birthdaylist:

is a blank needed before “Suzie”?

no, I trim off blanks… allow for sloppy editing/pasting

all entries have to have the same date format

sdetweil

@MyMirror the csv file format is

the header row,

birth  ,  name

and then
rows for each person

birthday , name

the birthday format can be in whatever format you like
MM/DD/YYYY
DD/MM/YYYY
YYYY/DD/MM
YYYY/MM/DD

using whatever separator you choose

the layout and separator have to be the same for all birthday rows

@sdetweil
OK, my mistake :worried_face:
I misinterpreted currentMonthOnly: and assumed that all maxEntries would then be displayed (for more than 2 month).
But with “false”, the current and the following month are displayed.
Sorry for the trouble :flushed_face:
(There was no entrie for January in my data file)

sdetweil

@MyMirror yes, I already had support for next month dec=>jan
just sort was broken.

sdetweil

@MyMirror I just pushed a change to display a message
when no birthdays are found to display given the current settings

I also added support to translate that message into the language set in the MM config…

I provided files for english, french, german, italian and spanish
