Not showing birthday

[Battle_Ring]

I have a member who has a birthday today and its not showing on the home page, like they usually do. His usergroup is set to show

vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options > Display Today's Birthdays? YES.
did you try this ? is YES or NO?

Did he choose to display his birthday in his profile?

Is it possible to force all users to show birthday in their profile?

I don't think your users would be too happy if you went and displayed their birthdays when some of them specifically said "no".

I was just curious. okay how about this, is it possible to have "show birthday as a default option" instead of hide? (in usercp option)

This is what I meant Dismounted,

How can I default to "show" instead of hide?

How can I default to "show" instead of hide?

I would like this option also!

Can someone please answer our questions? I would like to show birthdays of my members as well. I don't see anything wrong with displaying a date and month only. It makes them feel "special" when getting birthday wishes from other members.

How can I default to "Display Only Day and Month of Birth" instead of hide?

Many thanks,

Margaret

In the template: modifyprofile_birthday
near the very bottom you'll see:

$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="3" $sbselected[3]>$vbphrase[display_day_and_month]</option>
<option value="2" $sbselected[2]>$vbphrase[display_age_and_dob]</option>
</select>


Change it to:


$vbphrase[privacy]<br />
<select name="showbirthday">
<option value="0">$vbphrase[hide_age_and_dob]</option>
<option value="1">$vbphrase[display_age]</option>
<option value="3" selected>$vbphrase[display_day_and_month]</option>
<option value="2">$vbphrase[display_age_and_dob]</option>
</select>


That will make "Show Day and Month" be selected by default each time a user modifies their profile, I'm not sure if it will do it when initially signing up but you can try- it should I would think... though on my board "Display Age and Full Date of Birth" is selected by default.

Obviously move the word 'selected' to any line you want to be the default option.
