How to add custom birthdays to the calendar module?

[doogy_rev]

@sdetweil Well that’s awesome!, thank you sir! I will give it a try later.

@sdetweil This works great, thanks again!. How easy would it be to have this updated to match the look and feel of the default calendar? Something like this for example…

Dave Birthday [37] Jul 10th
My Anniversary [12] Aug 15th
Walter Birthday [52] Oct 23rd

And also to show the next 5 or 10 events rather than the next 30days?

@doogy_rev let me look at it

@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?

[sdetweil]

@doogy_rev all the stuff is in css.

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

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 :-)

[sdetweil]

@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.
