@MyMirror hm…
{ 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: 10, // 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 } }and I see 5 entries
I added the time to the screen shot to show its new
can u paste your exact config?

Sure …
{ module: "birthdaylist", position:'top_left', header:"Geburtstage", config: { language: "de", dimmEntries: false, // 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: 10, // 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: 10, // 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 } }, 10 maxEntries just for the test, if this works, i would go to 4. On my screen I get this:  So ... only 3 entries and i took your example BR Jens -
@MyMirror you have to use the 3rd icon from the right above the editor to include images
-
@sdetweil
Sorry :flushed_face:
-
I see 4 entries, u have dimmEntries: false, so the bd on the dec 19th doesn’t show…
did u change the csv?
-
@MyMirror I added Suzie to the new bdl.csv but it was part of the git pull …
birth, name 15/01/1987,suzie 12/05/1951, Sam -
@sdetweil
No, i took your example after getting no output of mine.
So the only changes are in the config regarding the currentMonthOnly and the max Entries.
Hmmm :confused_face: -
@MyMirror can u edit the birthdaylist/data/bdl.csv
-
@MyMirror the sample file is in
DD/MM/YYYY format
-
Yes, of course.
What should i try?
Add this:
15/01/1987,suzie
12/05/1951, Sam -
@MyMirror that second line shouldbe there already, do this
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/birthdaylist git checkout data/bdl.csvthen look at the file again
it should start like mine
suzie on the second line -
-
is a blank needed before “Suzie”?
-
@MyMirror correct
the bd on Dec 19th is in the past, and u have
dimmEntries: false
so, past BD’s are not dispplayed
-
@MyMirror said in birthdaylist:
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
-
@MyMirror the csv file format is
the header row,
birth , nameand then
rows for each personbirthday , namethe birthday format can be in whatever format you like
MM/DD/YYYY
DD/MM/YYYY
YYYY/DD/MM
YYYY/MM/DDusing whatever separator you choose
the layout and separator have to be the same for all birthday rows
-
@sdetweil
OK, my mistake :worried_face:
I misinterpreted currentMonthOnly: and assumed that all maxEntries would then be displayed (for more than 2 month).
But with “false”, the current and the following month are displayed.
Sorry for the trouble :flushed_face:
(There was no entrie for January in my data file) -
@MyMirror yes, I already had support for next month dec=>jan
just sort was broken. -
@MyMirror I just pushed a change to display a message
when no birthdays are found to display given the current settingsI 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

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?Jens
