ALL to show age and birthday !

[RS2000CUSTOM]

note:- I have searched this forum but have not found a suitable answer (maybe not asked before!)

Is there a hack or mod I can run to make it a default setting that ALL members show age and date of birth

I know that in the user cp members can choose this option

I wish this option to be Admin managed as " ALL show d.o.b and age"

Can this be done ?

p.s. Keep up the great work and thanx in anticipation of any replies :up:

If they didnt fill them in when they registered, its not going to show anyways, so you have to go back and make that a required field when registering.

UPDATE user SET showbirthday=2

Forgive my ignorance but do I enter this code in the Execute SQL Query ?

My registration proces does insist on date of birth being entered

[snakes1100]

Yes you can run it there or from phpmyadmin

lol - many thanx

1.35 seconds and job done



Suddenly the calendar is very full - lol

Your Welcome.

Just remember there is nothing stopping a user from changing that option back, if you want it to be removed from their control, you will need to remove that code from the template.

Am sure I will be able to find 1.35 seconds to run it again - lol

Forcing birthdates to be visible might lead to privacy complaints.

There is a reason why they don't want to show the age and birthday. It is a privacy concern and forcing them to show it is probably not a good thing to do. On my site, most members show the information of their own free will and the ones that don't are a little cautious about privacy. As a site Admin, be careful when it comes to personal information. You don't want it to bite you in the database later on.
