Hello CB,

I have Joomla 1.5.14 and CB 1.2.1, ok, In the form I need create a new field Birthday that show Day and Month, Year not, but if the field is Date, show Day-Mont and Year, and this can not use, or, if the field is List box Day, but in the same field can not agregate a list box Mont, is a limitation.

Normally, in Dreamweaver HTML and PHP, for the field Birthday, i put a List box por Day, and List box for Month.

Then, I do for resolve the problem?


Thanks.

Hi famq23,

I think I've found a solution that will provide you the requested information.

If I'm not mistaking, you are currently trying to get the 'Birthday' date (month - day) from the List of your members.

Here how I have achieved that :

First step (data base record) :

I added a new 'Date' field where I store the Birthday from the member (no choice a date field in MySQL include year)

I have ajusted, from 'the date field' these Specific Parameters :

Display on profiles as : 'birthday only without year'
Alternate field title... : '_UE_Birthday' (this will change the title linked with the field)
Display Date and time : 'Date only'

Second step (display the result) :

I added a new 'List' named Birthday - ALL in witch I added a filter to make sure the date field is not empty (IS NOT NULL). Then you can get a list of all your member with a 'Birthday' date recorded.

I also added 12 others 'List' named Birthday - (jan to dec) in witch I added an advanced filter like this : 'MONTH(cb_birthday) = XX'

cb_birthday : is the date field you have added in the first step
XX : 01 to 12 according to the month of the year

Hope this will help you to achieve your goal.

Have a good day
