Birthdate/Age Text Display

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to find a way to display the Birthdate field with a “Birthdate” label when editing the field value, and an “Age” label when viewing the profile.

    Otherwise, “Birthdate: Jan 12 1934” when editing will show as “Birthdate: 85 years” with the “Check this if you want to show age instead of birthdate” option enabled.

    Ideally, when viewing the profile of a member, it should show “Age: 85 years”.

    Here’s an image of the profile field when editing:

    Here’s an image of the profile field when viewing:

    Essentially, when the “Check this if you want to show age instead of birthdate” option enabled” has been checked, the profile field should show “Age” instead of “Birthdate”.

    My apologies for the poor explanation, but I do hope someone can shed light on how this can be accomplished. Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    Thank you for the post.

    The plugin does not deal with field labels. It only deals with the values.

    You are seeing theI do understand your need though. The problem is in the plugin we can not decide the edit/view context out of the box.

    There is a fielter

    
bp_get_the_profile_field_name

    which can be used to show the different labels.
    A code like this should work

    

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_name', function ( $label ) {
	global $field;
	if ( ! $field || $field->type !== 'birthdate' ) {
		return $label;
	}

	if ( bp_is_register_page() || is_admin() || bp_is_user_profile_edit() ) {
		return $label;
	}

	return "Age";

} );
