Adding birthday to profile summary

[ccbtimewiz]

The following hack will put a birthday field on your profile summary. SMF by default does not do this, so this is how you do it.

Example:


For SMF 2.0 BETA 4

Open ./Themes/default/Profile.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

if (!isset($context['disabled_fields']['gender']))
echo '
<tr>
<td><b>', $txt['gender'], ': </b></td>
<td>', $context['member']['gender']['name'], '</td>
</tr>';

Add after:

Code Select Expand

list ($year, $month, $day) = explode('-', $context['member']['birth_date']);
$bday = $day == '00' ? '' : ($txt['months_titles'][(int) $month] . ' ' . $day . ($year != '0000' ? ', ' . $year : ''));

if( !empty( $bday ) ) {
echo '
<tr>
<td><b>Birthday: </b></td>
<td>', $bday, '</td>
</tr>'; }


For SMF 1.1.x

Open ./Themes/default/Profile.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Some more information.
echo '
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><hr size="1" width="100%" class="hrcolor" /></td>
</tr>';

Add after:

Code Select Expand

list ($year, $month, $day) = explode('-', $context['member']['birth_date']);
$bday = $day == '00' ? '' : ($txt['months_titles'][(int) $month] . ' ' . $day . ($year != '0000' ? ', ' . $year : ''));

// Let's show it!
if( !empty( $bday ) )
{
echo '
<tr>
<td><b>Birthday: </b></td>
<td>', $bday, '</td>
</tr>';
}

Nice Tip/Trick ccbtimewiz, Its great when useful tweaks require few edits.

[ccbtimewiz]

Indeed it is, L.

[GJSchaller]

Is it possible to make this into a package?  I have several SMF installs I would like to add this to quickly & easily. 

Thank you!

[ccbtimewiz]

Alright, I finished it as a package and uploaded it to the mod site. Awaiting validation from the customization team.

[GJSchaller]

Wonderful - thank you!

[Costa]

Amazing!

Works fine to me in Dilber MC

Thank you!

One question, can I translate your post and post them in the portuguese area?

[ccbtimewiz]

Go right ahead. Though I can speak fluent Portuguese. But if you're willing to do it for me, then be my guest.

I've already made a mod for this, so linking to the mod might be easier. It should be approved quite soon.

[Costa]

Until there the portuguese community who don't understand english can do itself

Thank you very much, you can see the topic in portuguese here

If you want to update the language it's simple

Where you put Birthday, replace that to Data de nascimento to portuguese and brazilian

Thank you one more time

Farewell

This works great in SMF 1.1.10 with just one small niggle; the date order is the wrong way round for British and European forums.
Currently it prints, month: day: year: when it should be day: month: year:

This is my attempt to rectify this and it works fine, but there may be a much better way to do it. I'm still learning!

Code Select Expand

      list ($year, $month, $day) = explode('-', $context['member']['birth_date']);
      $bday = $day == '00' ? '' :' ' . $day  . " ". ($txt['months_titles'][(int) $month] . ($year != '0000' ? ', ' . $year : ''));

      // Let's show it!
      if( !empty( $bday ) )
       {
         echo '
            <tr>
               <td><b>Birthday: </b></td>
               <td>', $bday, '</td>
            </tr>';
       }
