display months, days 7 hours for "birthdate selector"

You can use the filter “bxcft_show_field_value” and change the way your field value is displayed.

hi,
thanks for such a speedy reply.

can you possibly guide me accordingly ?

where and how do i apply this filter ?

kind regards,

RC.

Try this:

add_filter( 'bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field', 15, 4);
function my_show_field($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
    if ($type == 'birthdate') {
        $value_to_return = strip_tags($value);
        $show_age = false;
        $field = new BP_XProfile_Field($id);
        if ($field) {
            $childs = $field->get_children();
            if (isset($childs) && $childs && count($childs) > 0
                    && is_object($childs[0]) && $childs[0]->name == 'show_age') {
                $show_age = true;
            }
        }
        if ($show_age) {
            $interval = date_diff(date_create(), date_create($value_to_return));
            $value_to_return = $interval->format('%y Year, %M Months, %d Days, %h Hours, %i Minutes, %s Seconds Old');
        } else {
            $value_to_return = date_i18n(get_option('date_format') ,strtotime($value_to_return) );
        }
    }
    return $value_to_return;
}

i added the above code at the bottom of “bp-xprofile-custom-fields-type.php” file.

showed everything right down to the second.
Thanks a lot !!!

Great! But the better place to put this code is at the end of the functions.php of your theme.

great, will do.
Thanks again your very quick, kind assistance and support.
