BBDB anniversaries in the calendar/diary
It's useful being able to have BBDB anniversaries show up in the Org agenda following section 10.3.1 of the Org manual. The only problem with putting the anniversaries in BBDB instead of the diary is that the dates aren't marked in the calendar and don't show up the diary. Is there away to make the calendar/diary aware of anniversaries in BBDB? Putting %%(org-bbdb-anniversaries) in the diary file marks the calendar, but hitting 'd' in the calendar doesn't show the anniversary, so org-bbdb-anniversaries in org-bbdb.el might be a good starting place to get this functionality? Update: I see Take birthdays from the BBDB, add them to calendar. From Boris Goldowsky. is on the list of TODO, so maybe this being worked on.

Is there away to make the calendar/diary aware of anniversaries in BBDB? Yes, such a functionality was implemented by Robert Fenk, I still have his pkg. However I have only tested in 2.35 and cannot guarantee that it will work in vs 3. If you want it I can send it to you. However this is only for the simple diary/ccalendar, not for org-agenda etc. Yes, please. I'm using 2.35 and as long things appear in the diary/calendar, Org can pick them up to display in the agenda. Thanks, Joseph -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Its only goal is to make calendar/diary aware of anniversaries / birthdays etc. stored in BBDB. (I do not know how to further propagate these dates to org mode; but once these things are known to calendar/diary/ this should be no problem anymore.) Does this answer your question?

(I do not know how to further propagate these dates to org mode; but once these things are known to calendar/diary/ this should be no problem anymore.) Does this answer your question? This looks promising. I uninstalled BBDB 2.35 and installed the package 20131116.1130 (with list-packages). From reading the comments in bbdb-anniv.el I put (add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries) in init.el. I added a birthday to a contact with: - M-x bbdb (found a record) - i birthday 29-11-1955 (tried a few other formats as well) - save the record. When I open the calendar, I don't see anything on the 29th. A few related questions: Is there anything I need to do to update my database to the new BBDB version? Can arbitrary anniversaries be added, e.g. death? When I open a message in Gnus I see: run-hooks: Symbol's function definition is void: bbdb/gnus-pop-up-bbdb-buffer. Any hints to fix this? I tried setting bbdb-use-pop-up to nil without success. Please excuse me if there is any documentation I'm missing that describes these issues.

Re: BBDB anniversaries in the calendar/diary
I'm close to having most of the questions from my last email answered. I can get the BBDB anniversaries to show up in the fancy diary, however even with the code below in init.el, I have to run (add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries). Ideas? ;; bbdb (add-hook 'after-init-hook ( lambda () (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message)) (add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries)) The second thing that threw me off was that calendar days for BBDB anniversaries weren't marked even with calendar-mark-diary-entries-flag set to t. Is it possible to mark calendar days for BBDB anniversaries? Thanks, Joseph -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
