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)

[sdetweil]

@MyMirror yes, I already had support for next month dec=>jan
just sort was broken.

[sdetweil]

@MyMirror I just pushed a change to display a message
when no birthdays are found to display given the current settings

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

@sdetweil

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?

@MyMirror currently the module is designed only to display the day. IN THE CURENT MONTH.
let me think about this

[sdetweil]

@MyMirror ok, git pull again

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

@sdetweil

Excellent - 5 stars for you!
Great job!

@sdetweil

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?

[sdetweil]

@pulser I’ll look at it

[sdetweil]

@pulser do

git pull

in the module folder

[MyMirror]

@sdetweil

Maybe other idea for “day/month”?

Possible?

[sdetweil]

@MyMirror not without some redesign.

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…

[pulser]

@sdetweil

work smoothly. thanks.

@sdetweil
Hmm, but now something is wrong with the calculation of the age.
I have the following bdl.csv:

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”.

[sdetweil]

@MyMirror ok, will look. I didn’t change any of that, just sort

[sdetweil]

@MyMirror fixed… git pull in the module folder to update

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 …

[MyMirror]

@sdetweil
Unfortunately not quite :disappointed_face:
Now the age from the current month is no longer correct
Same bdl.csv as above

[sdetweil]

@MyMirror git pull again… I made two changes… hoped I would update before you pulled… oops

[MyMirror]

@sdetweil
Many thanks for the adjustments.
Now it looks good.
