Date of Birth still in Customer Account Creation

When creating a new customer account the user is required to input their date of birth.

I've turned off the DOB requirement in the admin panel and I've blanked out the minimum length of the field

What else do I need to do?

This is just a wild guess but I don't have DOB turned on and I have no problem. Do you already have customers with DOB entered into database? Maybe that is interfering? I'm interested now so I'll be back to find out what it is.

Another question, what template are you using?

I'd guess that your commercial template has replaced the standard Zencart Create Account form with its own. Search your template files for dob.

I searched my template files for "dob" and for "date of birth" and found nothing.

I looked at all the options on the template customization page and didn't find anything related to dob.

I Googled Shopfast dob and Shopfast "date of birth" and haven't found anything.

I've also contacted Shopfast to ask if they require a date of birth and have not heard back yet.

Any other suggestions?

There are no customers in the database. This is a fresh install.

Here's the element on your page:

Here's a stock Zencart element:

Try searching your template files for part of the <div> class name.

DOB is in many template files in the default. Are you using the developers toolkit

No, I'm making all my configurations through the admin panel.

Here's the element on your page:

<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 dob"> <label class="inputLabel" for="dob"> Date of Birth: <span class="alert-text">* (eg. 05/21/1970)</span> </label> <input type="text" name="dob" id="dob" class="inputlogin" /> </div>

Here's a stock Zencart element:

<fieldset> <legend>Verify Your Age</legend> <label class="inputLabel" for="dob">Date of Birth:</label> <input type="text" name="dob" id="dob" /><span class="alert">* (eg. 05/21/1970)</span><br class="clearBoth" /> </fieldset>

Try searching your template files for part of the <div> class name.

Thank you, I'll do that now.

That I understand, but if your template has a modification that ignores what you set in the admin panel then you need to look at the code to find it.

The DEVELOPERS TOOLKIT is under the TOOLS menu in the admin panel. It's pretty straight-forward - just follow on-screen procedures.

Also... if your template is restricting/removing your ability to make vital changes via admin, then ask the seller of that template to refund you, and go get a professionally produced template from one of those showcased in the plugins area of zencart.

There are many con-men out there selling "zencart templates" - you should avoid almost all of them. Use templates by people who contribute extensively to this forum.
