      My Raspberry Pi 4 with 24" monitor has a working default calendar, synchronized with my Google calendar. I would also like to have a birthday calendar, or the ability to display birthdays.
      I downloaded the birthday list module (https://github.com/sdetweil/birthdaylist)
      and installed. Also made a csv file with my own data.
      I don’t know what else needs to be done to get the birthday calendar, or anything like that, working. Is there a manual or step-by-step plan to consult? Thanks in advance for the help.

        @veldje tell me more…

        also have to do an npm install

        its a 2 column csv, but you cannot set the name, you MUST use data/bdl.csv

        date, name

        and in config.js

        { 
             module: "birthdaylist",
             position: "somewhere",
             config: { 
             }
        }

          @veldje I have solved this by including a “birthday” calendar from google and giving at an own symbol.
          For that I have created an own calendar within google, transferred all birthdays to that (didn’t take long) and included that calendar into the config.

            @sdetweil Thanks for the quick response. Reinstalled now and it works.
            But I have a follow-up question about the bdl.csv:
            The layout of the text is now upper- or lowercase.
            Is it possible to display the text as (the layout) in the file bdl.scv, for example: “Bep van 't Veld-Pijpers”?
            If so, where should what be adjusted?

              @veldje the uppercase is done in the css
              transform(uppercase)

                @sdetweil I placed in the folder: custom.css

                .birthdaylist .TD-BODY {
                font size: 18px;
                text transform: none;

                and the text layout conformed to that in bdl.scv

                Dissolved. Thanks for the suggestions
