Its good but people might not like the idea of adding the birthday there.

I tried this mod on SMF: 2.0 RC3 but the text tags below are not showing on the registration page. Does anyone have any idea what I can replace them with? My forum is in French.

Code: [Select]

      <strong>', $txt['dob'], '</strong><br />
      <span class="smalltext">', $txt['dob_year'], ' - ', $txt['dob_month'], ' - ', $txt['dob_day'], '</span>
Update:

I checked the tags in the Profile.french.php file and they are the same as the ones on the mod so I don't understand what could be wrong.

Code: [Select]

$txt['dob'] = 'Date de naissance';

$txt['dob_month'] = 'Mois (MM)';

$txt['dob_day'] = 'Jour (JJ)';

$txt['dob_year'] = 'Année (AAAA)';
Update 2:

I don't know if I did the right thing but I added the text strings above in Modifications.french.php and it fixed my problem. I didn't notice any bug with either the registration page or the profile page with those strings in 2 language files but if someone has a better solution, let me know.

I don't see how to make it a drop down. Oh, 2.0 RC5.  I went to your site and registered Afro and didn't see either field day or month.  I just went to the profile on here and it has Birthday.....some one needs to share LOL

Ok, This works on the member registration, but not on administrator's new member registration.

As an administrator I already have a list of members I need to add and assign group member, their birthday, and maybe their avatars image.

So I need to do it from the admin page -> Members -> Register New Member.

Otherwise I have to update their profile after I add them. Which will be a lot of work. I'm looking for the fastest way to do this.

I noticed the fields smf use are : bday3 for year, bday1 for month, and bday2 for date. I tried to add these fields on the form and post it, but it doesn't work.

Any idea?

Go to
Administration Center » Core Features >> Advanced Profile Fields (enable it)



Then go to
Administration Center » Features and Options » Profile Fields >> Add new field there and adjust options as per your liking.

That will require some coding, open a new thread someone might help you there, as this thread is already marked as solved.

[Eclipse16V]

Have any one this for SMF 2.0.2?

Thanks

[drroot]

Yes. same question here. Any more details?

How to use bday3-bday1-bday2 in good formated "Profile fields"?

[Illori]

[dooie]
