[Free] Date of birth in registration

[Panoulis64]

It was in old versions too.
I think that since there is a birthday indication in the calendar, the system sends birthday wishes, if there was also a standard option in the smf, to be set by the administrator, mandatory or not. At least let's hope for a modification or a new mod! for sfm 2.1.3

There was this: https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=3680

You're looking to make birthdate a required field when registering?

[Panoulis64]

It's something I'd love to have and as for the required field, it should be an administrator's choice decision.

I was able to get that mod to work on 2.1x but don't know how to make it required.

Thanks for your answer.
Yes I have seen it and followed your steps.
It works, but I made the post, just so that it would be up to date, without the process we did and to have the mandatory option. I believe this is how you will appear in the management fields as well.

When I saw that, I took it a step further by putting your code inside the BirthdayOnRegister and tried to change the version as well, with the little I know.

I zipped them again but still got the warnings on install

Of course, I didn't need to go into files for the changes you suggested. I'm also uploading the compressed file for you, in case you know something else to do.
