[RC1] Prime Birthdate - Require on Registration

[primehalo]

MOD Title: Prime Birthdate
MOD Description: Provides the ability to make the birth date a required field. A birth date form field will be added to the registration pages, and if the forum is set to use COPPA then the entered birth date will be used to determine the user's age (instead using of the current link-selection method). Additionally, you will have the option to set a minimum age requirement for registration, and users will have the option to choose whether or not they want their age publicly viewable.

This is one feature I really wanted to see in phpbb3. I've only tested it out on my localhost, as I've been having trouble accessing my online test forum. If you try it out, please alert me to anything you find wrong with it. Thanks.

Yeah, I got a problem lol.. there is two March's and no October! Great mod other than that though

If you could patch the date problem as soon as you can cause I'm running this mod (I really do require it for my forum). .. and I can't find where the months are in the mod!

[primehalo]

Can you post a link to your board? I pull the short month names right from the "common.php" language file. The part where I build the month dropdown listbox is in "./includes/ucp/ucp_register.php", search for the variable "$s_birthday_month_options". If you could post the code in the general area of that variable, I can check and see if something got messed up.

Here is what mine looks like: http://www.absoluteanime.com/phpbb3/ucp ... e=register

Great mod of yours!
I LOVE IT!

*EDIT* I wonder why you can read my mind

[primehalo]

How long did it take you to install it? Was 10 minutes a descent estimate?

[ukrob12]

If I remember right then probably, yeah. Maybe slightly less..

[Sylwia]

Hi, I installed this mod, but the registration page is blank now, I also can't logout when I'm logged in. Any idea what might have gone wrong?

I checked and rechecked everything, and am not sure what else I might do. Any help will be appreciated.

Hard to tell without any error messages. Can you send me the files that you modified so I can take a look? Do you have access to your server's error logs?

[Sylwia]

Sure, just tell me how to send them or email me.

I don't have access to my server's error logs, but I wrote to my provider, so hopefully they'll answer back.

Also, I returned to my previous settings and it's still not working.

I looked over the files you sent and didn't see anything wrong. If you removed all of the changes and it still doesn't work, then maybe you accidentally added in a typo somewhere when originally installing it. I know I've done that a few times, accidentally deleting a semicolon or an ending brace. Getting ahold of those error logs would really help. And if you haven't installed many MODs, perhaps you could copy over a fresh version of the phpbb3 files (minus the config.php of course).

Do you know what version of PHP you're running? I think my code is compatible with version 4.3.3 and higher, but I'm running 5.2.3 so I can't test that.

great mod. Thank you, Prime.

I'm gonna test him on RC4.

Just a Sugestion: a Pack of require option sounds good like localization require, what do you think

Regards,
Chico.

Thanks, I found the mistake. I replaced with the ucp.php file the one in the main folder instead of the one in the language/en folder. They're both called the same, but apparently are not the same. Your mod works great!

I have another question though. Would it be possible to use the age option in such a way that people younger than 18 would automatically register to another group. I just need to give different permissions to adults and minors. At this moment I changed the requirements of COPPA, so everyone who is younger than 18 is registered as a COPPA user, but that requires my manual activating of each of them. Would is be possible to change it in such a way that they would register themselves but stay in the COPPA group or some other group defined for them?

Also, would it be then possible for them to automatically leave the restricted group as soon as they're 18?

I'm not even sure it's a good place to ask the question, but I'm very new to php. So if I should ask it elsewhere pls just redirect me.
