I hate that you have to put the 0s and stuff in when you register. It just confuses people. It would be so much easier to have a pulldown menu. If someone writes this out I'll edit the Birthday Hack and put it in a zip file. Would this be easy to do? Thanks, John

Heres what the code looks like in the usercp_registration.php file in the includes file.

// find the birthday values, reflected by the $lang['Submit_date_format']
if ($birthday || !$board_config['min_user_age']) //if a birthday is submited, then validate it
{
for ($i=0;$i<=strlen($lang['Submit_date_format']);$i++)
{
switch ($lang['Submit_date_format'][$i])
{
case d: $day=$birthday_lengt;$date_count++;
$birthday_lengt++;break;
case m: $md=$birthday_lengt;$date_count++;
$birthday_lengt++;break;
case Y: $year=$birthday_lengt;$date_count++;
$birthday_lengt=$birthday_lengt+3;break;
}
$birthday_lengt++;
}
// did we find both day,month and year
if ($date_count<3)
{
$error = TRUE;
if( isset($error_msg) )$error_msg .= "<br />";
$error_msg .= $lang['Wrong_birthday_format'];
} else
{
$day=$birthday[$day].$birthday[$day+1];
$md=$birthday[$md].$birthday[$md+1];
$year=$birthday[$year].$birthday[$year+1].$birthday[$year+2].$birthday[$year+3];
$user_age=(date('md')>=$md.$day) ? date('Y') - $year : date('Y') - $year - 1 ;
// Check maximum user age
if ($user_age>$board_config['max_user_age']) $md=13 ;
// Check minimum user age
if ($user_age<$board_config['min_user_age']) $md=13 ;
if (!checkdate($md,$day,$year))
{
$error = TRUE;
if( isset($error_msg) )$error_msg .= "<br />";
$error_msg .= $lang['Not_old_enough'];
} else
{
$birthday = ($error) ? $birthday : mkrealdate($day,$md,$year);
$next_birthday_greeting = (date('md')<$md.$day) ? date('Y'):date('Y')+1 ;
}
}
} else $birthday = ($error) ? '' : 999999;

I just looked and it seems like you have already done this. Are you willing to share? Because typing in 05-05-1982 sucks. Id rather have pulldowns so my users don't get confused and pissed and don't come to my site anymore.

I see you have something like this....... Could you please share with me how to fix this right?

What would be better is if you could tell me how to make it so the Birthdate Is required and then remove the birthdate edit from the edit profile area.

Ok im almost there now... [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] shows how to make fields required. Now how do i make it so birthdate doesn't showup in the edit profile part.

Any help this time?

woops.... EDIT

Sorry I missed this post it has been along time since I installed that hack. But I do not recall making any special changes for the dropdown.
