Contacts: A field for the age

Post by Buscafusco »

In my contacts i have created a field for the age. There I write the number. After a year i have update this field manually.

It would be create there is a field that calculate that number automaticly (from the entry of the birthday of course). And also that i can put this field directly under the names (and replace Company).

Can you please implement this?

Take a look at my (ignored so far) suggestion here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18854
I think we both meant the same.

I'd like an age field next to the birthday field in contacts. It seems the age has already been calculated that shows in calendar days set before birthday.

I've requested custom scriptable fields and columns in the past and this is another great example of something that if it was there users could just add themselves easily. :D

Currently Contacts module has "Birthday" fixed field. Do you want to be able to add more fields like this?

It would be great, if you can print the actual age of the person in each calender-entry. Also it would be nice if birthdays get per default different colors (by setting a default-category, not the empty one).

Hello,

EPIM does show an actual age of the person (see bottom of the window):

Could you elaborate, what's missing in EPIM, looking at screenshot above?

Hi Max,

okay, you're right. We can see it when we have the day-view. Also, when in month-view and selecting two days before the event. What I meant was when looking on the entire month - then you don't know how old the person will be. But the actual state is totally okay! Thanks again.
