Kirsty's Update Multi-World Calendar v6.2.0--Moon Counter Not showing

Hello Good folk of the API threads. I'm using the above script and for some reason it doesn't show a moon counter for Modern, Eberron or the Tal'Dorei Calendars. However it does for the Faerun and Greyhawk ones. Is this something known or is this something specific to me in particular?
i believe that is by design the api writer had some help in getting those calendars formatted ...ie online there is a place that defines the cycles start and end as well as a history of time if you will. if that exist for those other settings drop her a PM and she will work on the one you need just keep in mind that she is a person and gets busy... 
Well, that explains it. Thanks for the heads up lordmage it is much appreciated.

Hi Mike! lordmage is correct, there is no moon counter for those three worlds. I have plans to put the modern moon cycle in, but it's not high on the priority list at the moment (though if someone needs it, I'll move it up!). Eberron has 12 moons, so it's really not practical to add them into the calendar. As for Tal'Dorei, I don't own the campaign setting myself and there was nothing online about the moon cycles when I added it to the calendar. If someone sends me the information, I'm happy to put it in. To do that, I'd need the length of each moon's cycle and a starting place for the cycle. A full moon on a specific date would be perfect for my purposes.
Thanks Kirsty, That is good to know because I was sure I was just missing a setting or something. The last t hing I want to do is put more work on you, so I can be patient until you get the chance to work in the program. I understand coding, just enough, to realize that it can take a ton of concentration and time to get right so no rush.  Peace --Mike PS please close this tread. thanks in advance.

Hi Divis Mal [Mike], No need to close. We generally close Bug reports once resolved, but threads in places like API or General Use often attract suggestions or solutions from other users. If there is no interest, the thread eventually sinks on its own and closes of its own accord.
...blink, blink...there is a moon counter in this script? How did I not know this?

I haven't been making posts when I update the calendar. Once I get around to getting it on the one click install, I was planning on making a thread. To be honest, I'm always kind of surprised to hear that people are using it. The latest update can be found here on github. Version 6.2 is the newest.
Thanks Kirsty. I love the script but I just realized am using ver 1.0 because I manually changed the names of the months. Also, on my custom calendar the New Year starts on November 1 so I have to manually adjust the year forward, and then back when January 1 hits, but that is a small thing.
Wait, did some of the older version of the modern calendar have the moon counter included?

@Mike The calendar has been through several changes. When I first put it on the forums, it was only a calendar for Faerun and did not include the moon phases, count until next full moon, weather or notes options. As people make requests, I've been adding to what the script does. I'm continuing to make changes to it and am slowly hammering it into shape. (Key word here is slowly! I've got a lot on my plate and I'm not the fastest coder at the best of times.) The modern calendar has never had moons added, but that will be coming in the future. @Doug I get quite a few requests to make the calendar customizable. It's something that I've been thinking about for a while now, it's just a huge pain to implement. Months having different numbers of days, different numbers of moons and different moon cycles as well as the length of the year changing makes it really difficult to put a system in place. It would involve a whole re-write of the script, but it is something that I'm considering doing down the line.
