          @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

                        @MyMirror ok, git pull again

                        add
                        withMonth: true,

                        to the config parms…

                        note that the image is 27px square, so the space for text is small…
                        to fit, I made new css classes with a smaller font size when showing month
