Thread: Birthdate is showing 12-31-69

I am running Dolphin 5.5 and for some reason the birthdate in my users profiles that were born before 1970 all show 12-31-69 as the birthdate. Their age however seems to be correct. ie. 42yrold male, 53yrold Female etc... Is there a fix to this? I've searched the forum and found nothing. Thanks

I had the same problem. Never did find a fix. I just removed the code to display birthdate. It's a security issue anyway is what I finally decided on. If you do find a fix, let me know though. I would be curious what is causing it. Btw, that was GPLDate that was causing me the issues.

I tested it works fine for me, in profile.php it shows the correct birthdate. However try to delete content in folder "cache" this is where the profile.php gets the data to populate profile view, dont worry the files would be created when you view profiles so its ok to delete files here.

Dear Sir,

I am using Dolphin 5.5 with "Simple" Template my university website is www.gndusite.com and it has about 70 members.

Please see this topic as a reference

How to change the Date of Birth to DD/MM/YYYY format?

I did the following changes

************************************************** **

Admin Panel>> Split Join Form>> Join page number 1

The Sequence of Date of Birth is below:-

DateOfBirth,DayOfBirth
DateOfBirth,MonthOfBirth
DateOfBirth,YearOfBirth

************************************************** **

================================================== ==
Admin Panel>>Profile Fields

The Sequence of Date of Birth is below:

DateOfBirth,DayOfBirth
DateOfBirth,MonthOfBirth
DateOfBirth,YearOfBirth

================================================== ==


Then went to my hosting account >> Phpmyadmin>> Table name>> ProfilesDesc

Identified Fields 11 and 13

made changes which are below

in ID 11

order value 13
group_mark b >> e
group_text_a >> deleted (  -  )


in ID 13

namedisp _Date of birth
order value 11
group_mark e >> b
group_text_a >>  - 


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++


After doing the above now the join form shows the date in the format that i require which is dd/mm/yyyy

http://www.gndusite.com/join_form.php


I realy thought that my problems are over now..

But now i see that the date of birth does not save.......

It is showing as >>> Date of birth 12-31-69

The other problem that I faced is that in

http://www.gndusite.com/profile.php?ID=88

Age is not showing..


As the website is related to dating and my university, the dob feature is very crucial to work for the website...

Also I wonder when all the fields are being saved why DOB is not getting saved..??????


I also "observed" that in phpmyadmin >> Table >>Profiles >> DateOfBirth

The Database is saving the date of birth in the below format

yyyy-mm-dd

I belive that the problem "starts" when the date of birth that we "feed" in the "join form" doesnot reach the backend "profiles" table. So their might be some thing which connects the two. If you find it please tell me also.

Please help and reply.

Thanks in advance for your patience to read this.

Anand


After writing this much i did some research on boonex forums and here is what i get

1) Find in inc/profiles_disp.inc.php file next string:

$ret = strftime( $short_date_format, mktime( 0,0,0, $MonthOfBirth, $DayOfBirth, $YearOfBirth ) );

2) And replace it on this:

$ret = $MonthOfBirth ."-". $DayOfBirth ."-". $YearOfBirth;

I have not done this modification , but i am going to do it right now... I shall write here what happens next..

Yes I am having this same problem.
I have looked around and can not really seem to find a answer this.
I have two profiles that I am workign with. One profiles shows the correct birthday. and the other resorts back to the 12/31/69 date.
Has anyone found a solution or work around for this?

I may have to just make it to where it doesnt show up

We are having a similar issue, however; all of the profiles second member of a couples (regardless of sex) shows 11-30-xx. Every profile has 11-30 when you view it as a profile. But when the user goes to edit their profile it shows the correct date.

Please help!!!
