      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?

        @sdetweil said in How to add custom birthdays to the calendar module?:

        https://devhints.io/moment

        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

            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

                  @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.

                    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?

                      @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.
