Default values DOB field

Hi,

You can change in wordpress settings – General – Date Format.

Or you can create a filter in your functions.php like this:

function my_show_field_value($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
    $field = new BP_XProfile_Field($id);
    if ($type == 'birthdate') {
        // Get children.
        $childs = $field->get_children();
        $show_age = false;
        if (isset($childs) && $childs && count($childs) > 0 && is_object($childs[0])) {
            if ($childs[0]->name == 'show_age')
                $show_age = true;
        }
        if ($value != '') {
            if ($show_age) {
                $value_to_return = '<p>'.floor((time() - strtotime($value))/31556926).'</p>';
            } else {
                $value_to_return = '<p>'.date_i18n('Here goes your date format' ,strtotime($value) ).'</p>';
            }
        }
    }

    return $value_to_return;
}
add_filter('bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field_value', 10, 4);

Replace the sentence “Here goes your date format” with your date format.

Sorry, I didn’t explain myself properly.

I mean that on my login page the default values are ‘9 March 1966’

It makes more sense if the date is not already filled in when a user is signing up.

Hi,

I believe it’s because you have default value in the database. Search this table: bp_xprofile_data and here you need to find the date 6 march 1966 in this format:
1966-03-06 00:00:00 probably with user_id=0. If you delete this entry I think it will work.

Also, if you delete the field and you recreate it must work. I don’t know why this is working this way. Maybe when I have more time I can investigate why.

Thanks that worked

I have a problem that for every new registration, the default values are left from the last registration.

Any help?

Yes I’m having the same problem now too…

I don’t know why. In my test site, this is not happening. Is this happening always? With every registration or only with some of them?

in my case with every registration.
I see that it’s the same with regular checkboxes fields, so my guess is, that’s not your plugin fault…
maybe some cache issues?

Are the default values inserted in database with user_id = 0?
