git pull

to get underlined header just add the header to the config

{
        module: "birthdaylist",
        position:'top_left',
        header:"birthday list header",
        config: {
					language: "en",
					dimmEntries:true,  // true: dims entries and the associated
							     //       symbol when the date has expired.
						             // false: dont display entries and the associated
							     //        symbol when the date has expired.
					initialLoadDelay: 0, // How many seconds to wait on a fresh start up.
							     // This is to prevent collision with all other modules also
							     // loading all at the same time. This only happens once,
							     // when the mirror first starts up.
					updateDelay: 5,      // How many seconds after midnight before a refresh
							     // This is to prevent collision with other
							     // modules refreshing at the same time.
					currentMonthOnly: false,  // will show birthdays for the current month only if true
					maxEntries: 0,	     // maximum entries to show, default is all
					dateFormat: '',	     // date format for birthday (default is none), could be 'Do' for 'Sep 12th'
					ageFormat:'',	     // some format string for the persons age, '[ n ]'  n will be replace by age value
					debug:false
                }
}

for year end wrap around, set
currentMonthOnly:false,

I was only comparing the day of the month (as its the current month, right!!.. nope…!)

so if the bd month is > then the current month OR they are the same month but the bd DAY is > than today… show the projected age then …

birth, name
08/01/1940,aaa 84
10/01/1963,bbb 61
15/01/1964,ccc 60
05/02/1964,Oliver 60
06/02/1974,Frank 50

and the result (made via my cell phone, as I can’t currently get the MagicMirror to start on my PC (mstsc)):

The birthdays from the coming month are now 1 year “too young”.

work smoothly. thanks.

the image we picked originally was only supposed to hold the day number
there is no up/down room, each line would have to get taller

and for US the month would have to come first…

so it gets harder and harder…

anyone that wants to try, fork the module and go for it…

Maybe other idea for “day/month”?

Possible?

git pull

in the module folder

thanks for this module, first of all.

upcoming months are sorted correctly, but current month is on the bottom. how can we get current month on top?

Excellent - 5 stars for you!
Great job!

Jens

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

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?

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

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

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

the bd on Dec 19th is in the past, and u have

dimmEntries: false

so, past BD’s are not dispplayed

is a blank needed before “Suzie”?

my bdl.csv:

my output:
