Hi Moodlers,
I need a date of birth field on on my users profil. I tried to use this block :
https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversion.php?id=1142
But I can't install it. The documentation of this plugin is available for moodle3.2 here :
https://docs.moodle.org/32/en/Birthday_block#Languages
But the plugin is outdated. Is there a new directory for it ?
Thanks,
Hi - the Birthday block is only supported up to version 2.3. It would appear that it has not been updated since August 2012.
You can add a date of birth field to your user profile page through a custom profile field though - so it could be visible to the user or other users. Would that work for what you need? The documentation for profile fields is at https://docs.moodle.org/32/en/User_profile_fields
Hi Jon,
I tried that but the field can contain anything, there is no control to what a user can write in that field.
There is a "date and time" field but if you add it , the user need to insert the "hour: minute" of his birth (which is not appropriate to ask in a subscription form). There is no simple date type in custom fields.
Do you have any idea how to do that?
Thanks.
Hi Marwa - what version of Moodle are you using? For as long as I can remember, the date type in the user profile field has had a tick box to show 'time' or not.
So
which should result in
Oh thank you Jon,
I didn't notice it because it was collapsed.
Now it works , thank you very much
