So, the only piece missing, from my perspective, is a way to mark the calendar for the days with a BBDB anniversary. A function for one of the calendar display hooks might do the trick. Joseph

I don't use the diary, but I'd sure like to see colored blobs in the calendar (like holidays are currently displayed) for anniversaries defined in BBDB. Eric

Hi Myles, Thanks for your reply. Myles English writes: > I wonder, did you look at the section of 10.3.1 titled "Anniversaries > from BBDB"? This is what prompted me to store many of the anniversaries in BBDB as opposed to the diary. Following the information in section 10.3.1 of the manual allows one to see these anniversaries in the Org agenda, but they are now not shown in the calendar/diary. So far, I've been able to partially resolve the issue by upgrading to BBDB 3, which includes bbdb-anniv.el. ;; To display BBDB anniversaries in the Emacs diary, use ;; (add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries) Joseph

[O] Anniversaries from BBDB available to calendar and diary?
It makes sense to put birthdays and other anniversaries in BBDB as described in section 10.3.1 of the Org manual. Why repeat information by putting it in the diary when you already have a contact entry in BBDB for the person? The only problem with this is that the anniversaries 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? Joseph
