This can be used especially in forums that have adult content.

oh this is just what I was waiting for! Sweetness

the idea of deleting the content of the template modifyprofile_birthday is irrelevent... just add a new plugin for the hook: profile_editprofile_start, add simply a "no_permission" thingy...

btw, i think it would be more efficient to be conditional to a setting - admin can activate this or not, so if not, the users will be able to change their birthday

+ Removes Birthday date changing via profile (now only admin can change it)
+ Allows user to hide birthday from public view

This is redundant; RC3 does this by default.

I see where they can hide their birthday, but how to you make it so they can't change their birthday? I can't seem to find this option.

Also, would it be possible for me to implement this with vBshout? I have a shoutbox, but I would prefer it if that was only accessible to adult users as well.

*Clicks Install* Just the hack I was looking for

Sorry, but one more question.

Is there a way to make it so that the forums are hidden?

I setup a test account, and it still shows the forum, but when I click on the it gives me the message about being too young. I would prefer it if they couldn't see the forums to begin with.

Is it possible to toggle the option to edit the date of birth?

The reason for this is so that some birthday data was incorrect during an import from phpbb and I want to allows users some time to correct any errors before enabling it

i can have a look into if you like but it maybe a step where you would have to modify the code!

Is there a way to make it so that the forums are hidden?

from what i've been told the only way to hide forum without code modification is to use a usergroup (could be wrong)

Is it possible to toggle the option to edit the date of birth?

Thats the next step, i'm looking into a usergroup method that would allow the forum admin to allow certain usergroups the abillity to edit there birthday

i should have a beta version by the end of the week for you with most of these included (hopefully)
