Sure -
Part 1 - I'd like to have a custom field in each regular member's profile that is a date - an anniversary they define. So far, when I view the documentation and demo, I see I can do custom profile fields for other types, just not dates. Which makes me wonder why? Is there a reason why a custom date profile field won't work? Or was it just never included and no one never needed it? I've looked hi and lo through mods and articles and haven't found anything although I saw a few unanswered requests. But sometimes I miss blatantly obvious things...
Now, once i have the custom date field in the profile (if it's possible), I want to both have the date shown in the post bit (found this handy article here :up:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...+profile+field - even though I can't read the code, I see it can be done and that's all I need before I buy) and...
Part 2 - I'd like to have a calendar populated with that data, so user's can easily see which users' anniversaries are in the coming month, etc. I'm not sure if that's possible or easily hacked either.
So I guess this is a 2 part question. :erm: Does that make sense now? Part 1 is really necessary for me and possibly a deal breaker if I don't know I'll be able to do it because the date is integral to the members. Part two is something I'd really like to have but if nothing's available now I would live - and fiddle with it or hire someone later.
