I would like still to use it, but for something else.
Like an association number, since each of my members uses association numbers.

thanks

THis is also a great example of asking a question different from what you want to know.

It looks like you really don't want to re-program the DOB field, but want a number associated with each customer.

Try describing exactly what you want to do, and I'd guess someone here will have a suggestion for you.

This module will help you add additional custom fields to the account form.

thank you for the modul, I will try it out.

To describe the date questions. I want to eliminate the script checking the format of the entry x/xx/xxxx . Since I want to user to be able to type numbers or letters.
The date fields is in 90% not usefull anyways.

thanks

Then disable the DOB field completely from admin. Now, add your own custom field using the mod provided in post # 5 above.

Is it not easier to just disable the script checking the specific date entered?
I read that custom modules can cause problems.

To enable the customer to add the date of birth as optional, you just need to configure the DOB correctly ...

Go to the Configuration ... Customer Details ... and set to: true

Date of Birth
Display date of birth field during account creation and with account information
NOTE: Set Minimum Value Date of Birth to blank for not required
Set Minimum Value Date of Birth > 0 to require

Now go the the Configuration ... Minimum Values ... and set to blank, not 0 but blank as in nothing in the input box, as instructed:

Date of Birth
Minimum length of date of birth

Now the date of birth will display, but is not required ...
