I use bbdb-anniv. It shows anniversaries in my org-agenda since one of my
files says
# %%(org-bbdb-anniversaries)
but I don't know if there's a way to "capture" bbdb-anniversaries from
e.g. calendar/diary/agenda. In case it's helpful, here are the relevant
parts of my .emacs.d setup:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;;; Anniversaries:
(when (require 'bbdb-anniv nil 'noerror)
(add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries)
(setq
;; seems like org-bbdb just ignores these:
bbdb-default-anniversary-format "gebursdag"
bbdb-anniv-alist '( (gebursdag . "Gebursdag: %n blir %d!")
(årsdag . "%n, %d-årsjubileum") )
;; … so we set them here as well:
org-bbdb-default-anniversary-format "gebursdag"
org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist
'(("gebursdag" lambda (name years suffix)
(concat "Gebursdag: [[bbdb:" name "]["
name " (" (number-to-string years) " år)]]"))
("årsdag" lambda (name years suffix)
(concat "[[bbdb:" name "]["
(number-to-string years) "-årsjubileum: " name "]]")))))
;; Unlike other date forms, I want anniversaries in the format YYYY-MM-DD, and
;; diary-date-forms is used by bbdb-anniv to parse the anniversary field
(eval-after-load 'calendar-norway ; calls (calendar-set-date-style 'european)
'(add-to-list 'diary-date-forms '(year "-" month "-" day "[^0-9]")))
#+END_SRC
(so yes, you can add arbitrary anniversary types and change the date format)
