DOB In Boxes

[stevanicus]

Hi There,

Created it for myself and thought i'd share it.
The aim of the following is to allow users to enter their DOB (date of birth) into 3 boxes... dd mm yyyy (UK / European Format)

i've attached an image so you can see what i mean

**Always Backup First**

Step 1:
open: includes\languages\english.php
add the following code

define('TEXT_VALIDATION_DAY', 'DD');
   define('TEXT_VALIDATION_MONTH', 'MM');
   define('TEXT_VALIDATION_YEAR', 'YYYY'); 

if you need to switch to the UK Format, change the following

 define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y');  // this is used for strftime()
  define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
  define('DATE_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y'); // this is used for date()
  define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S'); 

into ->

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d/%m/%Y');  // this is used for strftime()
  define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
  define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd/m/Y'); // this is used for date()
  define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S'); 

and

////
// Return date in raw format
// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy
// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY
  if (!function_exists('zen_date_raw')) {
    function zen_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {
      if ($reverse) {
        return substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
      } else {
        return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2);
      }
    }
  } 

into->

  if (!function_exists('zen_date_raw')) {
    function zen_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {
      if ($reverse) {
        return substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
      } else {
        return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2);
      }
    }
  } 

now find

// text for date of birth example
  define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy'); 

change to: dd/mm/yyyy

and also find

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', 'Is your birth date correct? Our system requires the date in this format: MM/DD/YYYY (eg 05/21/1970)');
define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT', '* (eg. 05/21/1970)'); 

Change accordingly...

save it.

Step 2:
open includes\templates\template_default\templates\tp_modules_create_account.php

find

<?php
  if (ACCOUNT_DOB == 'true') {
?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_DATE_OF_BIRTH; ?></legend>
<label class="inputLabel" for="dob"><?php echo ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('dob','', 'id="dob"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</fieldset>
<?php
  }
?>

and change it to

<?php
  if (ACCOUNT_DOB == 'true') {
?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_DATE_OF_BIRTH; ?></legend>
<label class="inputLabel" for="dob"><?php echo ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH; ?></label>
<input type="hidden" name="dob">
<input style="float:left;" name="day" size="2" maxlength="2" onclick="this.value=''" value="<?php echo TEXT_VALIDATION_DAY;?>"><span style="padding:5px;float:left;">/</span><input style="float:left;" name="month" size="2" maxlength="2" onclick="this.value=''" value="<?php echo TEXT_VALIDATION_MONTH; ?>"><span style="padding:5px;float:left;">/</span><input style="float:left;" name="year" size="4" maxlength="4" onclick="this.value=''" value="<?php echo TEXT_VALIDATION_YEAR; ?>">
<br class="clearBoth" />
</fieldset>
<?php
  }
?>

save this...

Now we need to make sure the dates are passed into our hidden input


Step 3:
open includes\modules\pages\create_account\jscript_form_check.php

find the following

function check_form(form_name) {
  if (submitted == true) {
    alert("<?php echo JS_ERROR_SUBMITTED; ?>");
    return false;
  }

  error = false;
  form = form_name;
  error_message = "<?php echo JS_ERROR; ?>";

Add the following line under it

form.dob.value = form.day.value + '/' + form.month.value + '/' + form.year.value; 

save that...

Step 4:

Do the same in Step 3, but with the following file

includes\modules\pages\login\jscript_form_check.php


Thats it.... your ready to rumble

Hoped that it helped
