Member's Age in Postbit & Getinfo Profile (automatically calculated from birthday)
 

Member's Age in Postbit & Getinfo Profile - by Dr. Erwin Loh
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I requested this a while back. Since no one has released a hack like this, I worked out how to do it.

NOTE: This hack automatically shows the age of the person calculated from the birthday entered (it's not a separate input). If there is no birthdate or birthyear, the age doesn't show up automatically.

1) Postbit hack
-------------------

This hack basically places the member's age underneath his join date (or wherever you want) in the postbit, like this:


Registered: July 2000
Age: 18
Location: USA
Posts: 102


If the member has not entered his birth-year, then the age will NOT show up at all, like this:


Registered: July 2000
Location: USA
Posts: 102


This hack requires 1 file edit (functions.php), and 1 template edit (postbit).

2) Getinfo Profile hack
----------------------------

This adds the member's age in their profile.

I've added this to the installation text file. It's a matter of editing members.php and the getinfo template.

Also, this doesn't add any additional queries to your forums. :)

Nice hack man, thank's...

I updated the code - there was a bug in the original installation file - please clear your cache and view the new code now. :)

Awesome hack. Installed it, works like a charm:)

Installed, works very nice. So easy to add. And I am happy it doesn't add another query.

Awesome hack man. *installed*

I wouldn't say it's awesome, I don't see what's so great about displaying the user's age, of course I'm admin of a FF site so that wouldn't interest me. Nice job though.

Good point, but in that case, couldn't you say the same thing about a users post count, location, etc? :)
