Hi Roel,

Thanks for the extra explanation.
Initially I was still on the old track .
However, when following your instructions, by using "|(#a)|",
the result in the calendar is:
-- that I only get to see "(50 )", so the name is not displayed
-- and I can not "change" the event any longer by clicking on it.

Hi Lucas,

I remember that I've sent you some changed files in the past to display the age of persons having their birthday.
As Schwartz explained above, this feature has changed a bit to make it more flexible. This had to be done because not everybody was happy the age in parentheses. There are basically two changes:
1. To make the feature work, the year of birth should be present in the events description field enclosed in parenthesis
2. On the Settings page, under Views, in the "Event layout in Month, Week and Day view" templates you have now the freedom to specify how you want the age to be shown (e.g. "(#a)", "age: #a", "#a years old",etc. However, to ensure that the extra characters are only shown when #a results in a value, you should make it a section, by using the new section separators (vertical bar). So in your case you should put "|(#a)|" in the template .
Thereafter it should be fine.

I know that this means you will have to change a few descriptions (put parentheses around the year of birth) and I'm sorry for that. But I promise that I will not change this again in the future

If you use the section character|

then - what is in the section will only be shown when data is present.
Meaning that the paranthesis should  only be shown when the event has data for the #a parameter.

Maybe you will need to have the time also in a section -to avoid problems with events having starttimes and all-day events.

Hi,

I followed your instructions.
But if you would check https://bruedergrimmschule.de/terminkalender/,
you will see that evry event in the calender now gets an extra () displayed ...
Any ideas how to solve?

Regards, Lucas

You could also have a text like : (age: #a)

The result will be  : (age: 50)
If (1970) in the eventtext

Hello Lucas
In settings you have to specify the paranthesis - like this : #ts #e (#a)

In the event you specify the birth like this :  born (1970)
If you don't specify the paranthesis in the settings the birthday will be shown as a number.
If you wrap the #a parameter in paranthesis (#a) then the paranthesis is shown as text.
