@MyMirror that second line shouldbe there already, do this
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/birthdaylist git checkout data/bdl.csvthen look at the file again
it should start like mine
suzie on the second line -
-
is a blank needed before “Suzie”?
-
@MyMirror correct
the bd on Dec 19th is in the past, and u have
dimmEntries: false
so, past BD’s are not dispplayed
-
@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
-
@MyMirror the csv file format is
the header row,
birth , nameand then
rows for each personbirthday , namethe birthday format can be in whatever format you like
MM/DD/YYYY
DD/MM/YYYY
YYYY/DD/MM
YYYY/MM/DDusing 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) -
@MyMirror yes, I already had support for next month dec=>jan
just sort was broken. -
@MyMirror I just pushed a change to display a message
when no birthdays are found to display given the current settingsI 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

One more request/question:
Could you add the month as a picture?
If you set this option “currentMonthOnly: false” (which I find very good), then a month without an entry can lead to misunderstandings.Example:
We have January and no entry for January in the bdl.csv.
But on February 10.
This would look like the next birthday is now on January 10, right?
In this respect, is it possible to display the month as well?Jens
