          @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  ,  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

                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 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

                      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

                        @MyMirror currently the module is designed only to display the day. IN THE CURENT MONTH.
                        let me think about this
