    Default Date of Birth

    I'd like to change the DOB so it puts it in the non-American style, that is date/month/year (e.g. 27/05/1972). I changed it in a couple of places, but obviously missed one, because it still comes back saying it must be put in with the month first.

    Where do I need to go to change this?

    Default Re: Date of Birth

    In the webshop there's Swedish and English in usage and in the Create Account page there's a problem in both:
    I can't enter digits like this 1.1.1970 but I should put 01.01.1970 that it would work.
    (or in English 1/1/1970 doesn't work but 01/01/1970)

    Customer may not understand why they can't create their account and I tried to put the digits minimum in configuration - > Minimum values already in "0" but it doesn't help. Previously it was "4".

    I have read the wiki about the Localization of dates but those things are ok and working. I just do not want to add the zeros in the dates when entered.

    There in the end of the page in the Wiki is a Tip!
    If you want a more advanced function which can deal with more flexible formats such as optional month names instead of digits, see this user-submitted suggestion

    Also please serach the about topics and threads in the forum.

    I thought there would have been easier way to just enable the possibility to put 1 digit for the day and month instead applying this whole script of different date data options. I put it anyway and it seems all fine now.
    No need to loose a customer who is not able to create an account... ;)
