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.

Installation text file here:

Did you put $age in your postbit? It works if you follow the instructions closely...

[eXtremeTim]

Not bad. Nice and simple. I will proble also install this one once i get my site back up and running.

---------------------------

// Set userage !

$userage = "N/A";
} else {
if (date("Y")<$bday[0] or $bday[0]<1901 or $bday[0]=='0000') {
$userage = "N/A";
}
}

if ( ($userage!="N/A") ){
if (date("m")>=$bday[1] and date("d")>=$bday[2]) {
$userage=(date("Y")-$bday[0]);
eval("\$getinfo_userage = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_userage")."\";");
} else {
$userage=(date("Y")-$bday[0])+1;
eval("\$getinfo_userage = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_userage")."\";");
}

}


if ( ($userage!="N/A") ){
if (date("m")>=$bday[1] and date("d")<=$bday[2]) {
$userage=(date("Y")-$bday[0]);
eval("\$getinfo_userage = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_userage")."\";");
} else {
$userage=(date("Y")-$bday[0])+1;
eval("\$getinfo_userage = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_userage")."\";");
}

}

if ( ($userage!="N/A") ){
if (date("m")<=$bday[1] and date("d")<$bday[2]) {
$userage=(date("Y")-$bday[0])-1;
eval("\$getinfo_userage = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_userage")."\";");
} else {
$userage=(date("Y")-$bday[0]);
eval("\$getinfo_userage = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_userage")."\";");
}

}

Birthday: 23.09.1982
Age: 20


^^ you see? he is older but its still August right?

anyone who knows how to fix this?

[N9ne]

I found something wrong!

A user set his birthdate to be in 1969 and it says he's 84 in the postbit

[N9ne]

ok Very strange I just checked his full profile in adminCP:

1918-06-12

That's what's set for his birthdate which means the 84 is RIGHT but in his PROFILE it says 1969, why does it say that

Code removed from this post, and added to the TEXT installation file.
