How to add custom birthdays to the calendar module?

[sdetweil]

@doogy_rev

I can easily add the age and date format
date format, use moment formats…
like here https://devhints.io/moment
dateFormat=“Do”
ageFormat , some string with ‘m’ in it and I will replace n with the age
ageFormat : “[ n ]” // produces [ 23 ]

the other, limit number of entries

this is designed around birthdays this month (and show or not show those already occurred this month)

I can let u truncate the list at n entries, (1st 5 birthdays this month)

and I think there is a way to allow month cross over… 3 this month, 2 this month of the limit of 5, 1 month cross over at end f year… so show Dec and Jan, but not February (until Jan is curent month)

is that what you are looking for?

That sounds great and yes that’s kinda what I was looking for, the month cross over sounds good, This is how I have the default where it will only show the next 5 holidays so have the birthdays work the same way (or as near as), then past birthdays for the month drop off the list

@doogy_rev ok, git pull , review the README

by default it operates on current month only

Installed and working :-) Thanks for looking at this for me!

I am going to play with the CSS and change some of the colours a bit. I did notice the following . .

• If birthdays are shared date, then the second/third entry is in bold (see screen shot Aug 12th)

• when you specify number of entires it adds additional, I specified 5, but 6 are showing

• is it possible to have date aligned right and keep age after the name “doogyrev Birthday [45] Oct 1st”

• where do I change font to not be all uppercase?

@doogy_rev all the stuff is in css.

body has a transform uppercase
this is built as a table.

and if u change the css file, just hit f5 or ctrl-r

Thanks Again, I appreciate the help and assistance!!

I will check that out. I am what I class as a non-technical-technical . . . i.e I know a small amount, probably enough to be dangerous . .TBH, I am just chuffed I have managed to maintain my Mirror for the last 5years . . lol

I might be back if I can’t work it out :-)

@doogy_rev no problem…
this last with the date next to the age, they are in teh same table cell, so I might have to make another column

I didn’t do the css for this.

[doogy_rev]

I figured they were in the same cell since the colours are linked, but that’s beyond my feeble abilities …haha

This is where I am at, going to make some new icons to match the default, I found the one used, so just need to change the colours.

how do I change the cell height? I removed the existing icon and the cell height stayed the same? even changing the vertical height in the css made no difference. Also I assume the “Aug 12th” double entry’s are in the same cell, is it possible to put them in individual?

[sdetweil]

@doogy_rev yeh, two on the same day, should only have the date once…

for width I would look at google table cell width via css.

[sdetweil]

@doogy_rev fixed double date on same day and count plus 1
