[SOLVED] remove Birthday option

[horsetags]

Can i remove the birthday option on the registration form, is it required for Prestashop to work properly?

[rocky]

Customer birthdays are optional, but they are used in some of the statistics and some modules like the Birthday Present module. If you aren't using any modules or statistics that need the birthday, it is safe to remove. Just remove or

the following code in authentication.tpl and identity.tpl in your theme directory:

{l s='Birthday'}

-
                   {foreach from=$days item=v}
{$v|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}  
                   {/foreach}

               {*
                   {l s='January'}
                   {l s='February'}
                   {l s='March'}
                   {l s='April'}
                   {l s='May'}
                   {l s='June'}
                   {l s='July'}
                   {l s='August'}

                   {l s='October'}
                   {l s='November'}
                   {l s='December'}

                   {foreach from=$months key=k item=v}
{l s="$v"} 
                   {/foreach}


-
                   {foreach from=$years item=v}
{$v|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}  
                   {/foreach}

Thank you! :-)

Using presta version 1.4.2 and can't for the life of me get rid of the birthday. (this should be an option in the B.O. I would think...)

Anyways, I have deleted the birthday code from 3 files so far, and it still shows up in instant checkout. Any thoughts? Is there another place where this code is hiding?

Thanks...

[mr913]

I fixed this by deleting the birthday code from the files listed and then I had to delete the cache from FTP - Prestashop/Smarty/ then folders Cache and compile

Delete the files (I deleted all but index.php) and then it should work.

Glad you figured it out. An easier way is to simply go to the Preferences > Performance tab and change "Force compile" to "Yes", refresh your website, then change it back to "No". It's much easier than deleting all the compiled files manually using FTP.

I edited Authetication.tpl and Identity.tpl but the Date of Birth feature is still popping up. I believe I have properly commented the right info out of the files. What else do I neeed to do?

[Steffen]

I'm using 1.4.4 and this doesn't work for me either. Can someone please come up with a solution for removing birthday option?

 

Thanks

[Wahyu]

same as me. my Force Compile had been turn on all the time but nothing changed

[Steffen]

I have noticed a second occurrance of the code in authentication.tpl. But commenting out or deleting this also only moves the layout around and removes a little part of it in registration. It does nothing to /order-opc (one page checkout)...

[yapliren]

For one page checkout, you need to edit 1 more file order-opc-new-account.tpl

[akulkin]

Has the syntax changed for version 1.6?

I believe the text has changed to "Date of Birth", but it's not just that, but part of the code syntax as well..

Coud you please advise where (in authentication.tpl and Identity.tpl the code needs to be commented out?

 

Thanks!

the following code in authentication.tpl and identity.tpl in your theme directory:

Indeed, the files from which you must comment out the code are: authentication.tpl and identity.tpl but also order-opc-new-account.tpl.

 

The code I had to comment out was:

<div class="form-group date-select">
						<label>{l s='Date of Birth'}</label>
						<div class="row">
							<div class="col-xs-4">
								<select id="days" name="days" class="form-control">
									<option value="">-</option>
									{foreach from=$days item=day}
										<option value="{$day}" {if ($sl_day == $day)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$day}  </option>
									{/foreach}
								</select>
								{*
									{l s='January'}
									{l s='February'}
									{l s='March'}
									{l s='April'}
									{l s='May'}
									{l s='June'}
									{l s='July'}
									{l s='August'}
									{l s='September'}
									{l s='October'}
									{l s='November'}
									{l s='December'}
								*}
							</div>
							<div class="col-xs-4">
								<select id="months" name="months" class="form-control">
									<option value="">-</option>
									{foreach from=$months key=k item=month}
										<option value="{$k}" {if ($sl_month == $k)} selected="selected"{/if}>{l s=$month} </option>
									{/foreach}
								</select>
							</div>
							<div class="col-xs-4">
								<select id="years" name="years" class="form-control">
									<option value="">-</option>
									{foreach from=$years item=year}
										<option value="{$year}" {if ($sl_year == $year)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$year}  </option>
									{/foreach}
								</select>
							</div>
						</div>
					</div>

After that, do this:

 

go to the Preferences > Performance tab and change "Force compile" to "Yes", refresh your website, then change it back to "No"

just like rocky said.

 

It worked for me

For those still having issues with this I have found the source of confusion.  

 

When commenting out the suggested code you'll need to comment it out in two different locations of authentication.tpl.  

 

On my current version (1.6.1.4) I found the same code on line 468 and 138.  

[jkovac]

I want to ask for help. I remove birthday option by the instructions bat in order_conf mail arrives " 0000-00-00 Firstname Lastname " in

{Delivery_block_html} and {invoice_block_html}

Thank you in advance for your reply

Al comentar el código sugerido, deberá comentarlo en dos ubicaciones diferentes de authentication.tpl.  

 

En mi versión actual (1.6.1.4) encontré el mismo código en la línea 468 y 138.  

ok, is correct.
