Date Calendar does not show Year Navigation

[bluantinoo]

Hi,
I need to use a date field to store users’ birth date.
The problem is that the calendar does not show a way to navigate back in years.

this means that a 50 years old man has to click 600 times the previous month button to set his birth date!

is there a quick fix?

Hello,
Year navigation is currently not available. We are hopeful to add this with next release.

Thanks.

Hi Khaled,
thanks for reply.

do you have an idea on when will be released next version?
if it will be too far may I ask a little help to hack it?

I found out how to implement year change in calendar.
It’s quite easy actually.

This is how to do it

1) open file user-meta/views/generateForm.php at lines 161 and 162

change this:

$(".um_datetime").datetimepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
$(".um_date").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});

into this:

$(".um_datetime").datetimepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', timeFormat: 'hh:mm:ss', changeYear: true, yearRange: '-110:-13' });
$(".um_date").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', changeYear: true, yearRange: '-110:-13' });

Just adding 2 parameters:
– changeYear => set true to add a dropdown in calendar to change year
– yearRange => the range of years that you want users to select

2) Do the same changes in the file user-meta/controllers/pro/umBackendProfileController.php at lines 125 and 126

First point adds year select in public forms (registration, profile), second point adds it in the backend profile management.

I hope it can help someone (and that will be included in next release!)

Excellent solution bluantinoo! Just the thing i need, you are brilliant

Congratulations for the solution. I’m pretty sure everyone using a dob input field was looking for a simple way to navigate through years.

However, in order to be complete i’d say it would have to stop throwing the error about date not being in proper format when the user selects the year before the day/month.

A solution for running the verification script on input content only after all the date selection clicks are done would be greatly appreciated.
