Hello dotunman210.

Please create on list of birthdays an Index by column "Birthday" is need to sort and filter birthdays.

I found that the webApiPermissions required to use Graph API was missing on webPart. and is that the problem.

I changed and create a new package. sppkg. Please Install the new sppkg,
https://sitenanuvem-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/joao_j_mendes_sitenanuvem_pt/Ebl4y_iQ619Ppfq55rCS-m4BdEHGAaZ3VQEejwbbZ4Hxzw?e=u4Ztsh

and deploy you will see the consent panel and a message to inform to go to manage api management to aprove the API permissions.

go to:

SharePoint Admin Center - https://xxxx-admin.sharePoint.com and change to new . SharePoint admin center and go to :

API management and aprove the permissions that are in pending status.

Soon I will update a detailed documentation and new code and package on REPO.

Thank you.

Harry_G so the photos are retrieved from SP user profile using

/_layouts/15/userphoto.aspx?size=L&username=mailto:user@email.com

The app wasn't connecting to my list very well, and using F12 I saw that the user email was "undefined".

I rebuilt the Birthday list and it worked. Try doing that and make sure to use the exact columns.

  Hi Davaakhatan,
  
  You have to create Birthday list manually, with fields specified by author. Internally, this WebPart requires list is located on root SharePoint sites, even if you are deploying it to something like '.../sites/AnotherSiteCollection'.
  
  Just create the list in the way you normally do, test again and let me know if you have any doubts.
  
  Regards.

Hey!! I would like to reduce the size of the birthday box or just show it as a list. Is there a specific change? I tried setting the box card dimensions but it throws of the rest of the alignment like text and balloons. Please help.
