Up to now I have been using reminderfox (a plugin for firefox - you probably know it anyway) as my calendar application. I don't rhink is as good as Orage, but not everything there is bad. They have at least one cool thing. When you add events like birthdays or anniversaries you can also add (with some formating) the year of the birth or the first occurrence of whatever you want to celebrate and when that event is shown to you or reminded to you, you will see the age. Let me put an example (just because I don't think I'm making myself clear). If I want to add my daughter's birthday I will put all the info needed (day, month, year, recurrency...) but in the title I can say which year she was born, so I would write something like that in the title: My daughter's birthday <2007>. This way when her birthday arrives again next year the reminder or info I get will be: My daughter's birthday 3rd (or in my case since I'm spanish My... 3o).
Need to think how this could be done. Interesting feature.
I don't know if this can be of any help but you can check "reminderFox" source code from this website "http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/reminderfox/". This way you can check how the guy does it in that firefox plugin.
It would be rather easy to show the plain number like: My daughter fills 10 years today. (1) But it is a lot more difficult to format the number to ordinal like this: Today is my daughter's 10th anniversary. (2) If (1) is enough I could do that quickly, but I still have not found a way to format numbers to (2).
I'm just happy with the plain number (option 1). Option 2 would look more polished but it's not absolutely necessary. So go for 1, and if in the future you get some inspiration and find the way to add the extra formating then great, if not no problem at all.
Implemented in 4.7.4.10. It is simply a number to show difference between current year and parameters <&Ynnnn> nnnn.
Great!! Thank you Juha
in 4.8.0
