I don't know if you remember me ... but we talked about this on the phpBB message board ... over a month ago ... I can't find the post there anymore, but I was wondering if there was a way to have the Birthday Mod without showing the year a person was born or their age?

Thanks

the age in the viewtopic, is easely removed, just avoid doing the viewtopick_body.tpl

about avoiding the year in the user profile
find this in file usercp_viewprofile.php

'BIRTHDAY' => ($profiledata['user_birthday']!=999999) ? $poster_birthday=realdate($lang['DATE_FORMAT'], $profiledata['user_birthday']) : $poster_birthday=$lang['No_birthday_specify'],

change it to something like this

'BIRTHDAY' => ($profiledata['user_birthday']!=999999) ? $poster_birthday=realdate('d-M', $profiledata['user_birthday']) : $poster_birthday=$lang['No_birthday_specify'],

if you also wan to remove the age on the birthday list on the index page then do this to page_header.php

[FIND]
$birthday_today_list .= ' <a href="' . append_sid("profile.$phpEx?mode=viewprofile&amp;" . POST_USERS_URL . "=" . $birthdayrow[$i]['user_id']) . '"' . $style_color .'><b>' . $birthdayrow[$i]['username'] . ' ('.($year- realdate ('Y',$birthdayrow[$i]['user_birthday'])).')</b></a>';

[REPLACE WITH]
$birthday_today_list .= ' <a href="' . append_sid("profile.$phpEx?mode=viewprofile&amp;" . POST_USERS_URL . "=" . $birthdayrow[$i]['user_id']) . '"' . $style_color .'><b>' . $birthdayrow[$i]['username'] . '</b></a>';

[FIND]:
$birthday_week_list .= ' <a href="' . append_sid("profile.$phpEx?mode=viewprofile&amp;" . POST_USERS_URL . "=" . $birthdayrow[$i]['user_id']) . '"' . $style_color .'><b>' . $birthdayrow[$i]['username'] . ' ('.$user_age.')</b></a>';

[REPLACE WITH]
$birthday_week_list .= ' <a href="' . append_sid("profile.$phpEx?mode=viewprofile&amp;" . POST_USERS_URL . "=" . $birthdayrow[$i]['user_id']) . '"' . $style_color .'><b>' . $birthdayrow[$i]['username'] . ' </b></a>';

That worked great ... I have only one more request ... is there a way to make it so that the users don't have to put the year of their birth in at all? Some of the people here in the office want their age to be completely secret Some people are silly that way.

Thanks

I haven't tryed it yet, but maybe this would work

in file usercp_register.php

Code: Select all

[FIND]:
       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)

[REPLACE WITH]
//       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<2)

[FIND]
      $year=$birthday[$year].$birthday[$year+1].$birthday[$year+2].$birthday[$year+3];

[REPLACE WITH
      $year=create_date('Y',time(),$board_config['board_timezone']);

[FIND]
      if ($user_age<$board_config['min_user_age']) $md=13  ;
[REPLACE WITH]
//      if ($user_age<$board_config['min_user_age']) $md=13  ;

I think what should do it

[talia679]

I was wrong ... there is one more thing ... What do I change on the admin pages to make this change take effect?

[Niels]

I have made it so the age is only vieweble for the users, in admin panel the admin will se the year the change did take effekt

if you want to get this a way, then in file functions.php you should be able to out comment
thise 2 lines

Code: Select all

$year=$year+1970;
$date_syntax = str_replace('Y',$year,$date_syntax);

maybe you will also have to change the lang['birthday_submit_format']

[talia679]

Here's what I mean.

If you go to the admin panel and click on Management Under Users, you have the ability to change the birthdate of the user. If I try to do this it tells me I need to put in the year.

I would like to edit the profiles of all of our staff that haven't put their birthday in ... I'd like to do it for them in the admin panel ... but I need to make the changes here that I made on the profile pages.

Does that make more sense?
