Birthday Field

[bonjurkes]

As you know there is option for hiding age or hiding both birthday and age at user control panel. Is there a way to make birthday field visible to admins even user set it to hide his/her birthday and age info?

I know i can check it from edit user section but just want to know if there is a easier way for it

This will require a modification. Please visit vBulletin.org for modification support and assistance.

On a side note to this, is there a way to disable that option so the user is not given a choice on whether or not to display their birthday and have the option set entirely by the admin?

I really think this should be the default behavior of vBulletin. Here's a template mod:

AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> (pick your style) -> Edit Templates -> Member Info Templates -> MEMBERINFO

Find:

<if condition="$show['birthday']">

Change it to:

<if condition="$show['birthday'] or is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)">

To remove this option during REGISTRATION, replace this (near the beginning of the template):

        <fieldset class="fieldset">
                <legend>$vbphrase[birth_date] - $birthdate</legend>
                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="100%">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        $vbphrase[your_date_of_birth]<br />
                        $vbphrase[contact_admin_to_modify_birthday]<br /><br />
                        $vbphrase[privacy]:<br />
                        <select name="showbirthday">
                        <option value="0" $sbselected[0]>$vbphrase[hide_age_and_dob]</option>
                        <option value="1" $sbselected[1]>$vbphrase[display_age]</option>
                        <option value="2" $sbselected[2]>$vbphrase[display_age_and_dob]</option>
                        </select>
                    </td>
                </tr>
                </table>
            </fieldset>

with:

<input type="hidden" name="showbirthday" value="1" />

Change the value="" to whichever of the 3 options you want.


To remove this option from the USER CONTROL PANEL, replace this (towards the end of the template):

                <tr>
                    <td>
                        $vbphrase[privacy]<br />
                        <select name="showbirthday">
                        <option value="0" $sbselected[0]>$vbphrase[hide_age_and_dob]</option>
                        <option value="1" $sbselected[1]>$vbphrase[display_age]</option>
                        <option value="2" $sbselected[2]>$vbphrase[display_age_and_dob]</option>
                        </select>
                    </td>
                </tr>

with:

<input type="hidden" name="showbirthday" value="1" />

Change the value="" to whichever of the 3 options you want.
