[solved] Date of birth validation

[tsandeep]

I want in my registration process the date of birth field should be mandatory as well as it will validate with current date how can i perform it please help.

[vekia]

if you want to set up birthday as a required field, go to the classes/Customer.php file

 

you've got there object definition with all fields, there is birthday field definition:

'birthday' =>	  array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate'),

 

add to this required=>true param

[tsandeep]

I have still problem with birthday required. I edit Customer.php and add required=>true. The field is now required but when i select date of birth on the page with authentification, system give me error "Birthday is required" and I can't save it. I use prestashop 1.5.4.1. Thanks for reply

 

Customer.php - 'birthday' => array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate', 'required' => true)

[vekia]

and if you remove required => true you've got still the same? 

[luckin315]

no there is no problem without required. I try new installation 1.5.4.1 and there is same problem.

 

In identity.tpl is birthday too and works good with birthday required.

?

[amodkarmarkar]

Same quote again

 

Customer.php - 'birthday' => array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate', 'required' => true)

 

This does not work.

 

Even if birth day entered errors as birthday required

[vekia]

weird, i tested it on my demo store (1.5.6.0) and everything works well then.

what theme you use? default one?

[amodkarmarkar]

yes the default one

[love-vaping]

usign v1.5.4.1 and having the same problem. Using the below:

'birthday' => array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate', 'required' => true param ),

 

This leaves my page not loading...

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

[amodkarmarkar]

Hi love-vaping

 

It is not

'birthday' =>  array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate', 'required' => true param ),

Instead it is

'birthday' =>  array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate', 'required' => true),

regards

[vekia]

'birthday' => array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate', 'required' => true param ),

true param - this is wrong! you have to use "true" only

[love-vaping]

Thank you for that update! Was a silly mistake really....

 

But, having made that change it is not possible to register as a new customer, as it always states birthday required, even when it has been entered...

[vekia]

yes, you've got the same issue as other merchants here

i don't know where the problem is

i will inspect authentication controller, maybe i will find solution for this weridy issue 

[amodkarmarkar]

Some how i solved this issue by removing the above parameters that is

 

This

'birthday' => array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate', 'required' => true param ),

to This

'birthday' => array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isBirthDate' ),

Again I mean to default and Made changes in classes/validate.php As

 

This

public static function isBirthDate($date)
    {
        if (empty($date) || $date == '0000-00-00')
            return true;

to This

public static function isBirthDate($date)
    {
        if (empty($date) || $date == '0000-00-00')
            return false;

This atlest gave an error as invalid date of birth but only when you fill all the required fields

 

Hope so i have explained you better, Might be helpfull to you.

 

Regards

you can do it in authentication.tpl file located in your theme directory (themes/YOUR_THEME/authentication.tpl)

[BuckWierd]

I tried that, but I can't find the right place for it...

Where do I have to place the ^* ?
 

<p class="select">

<span>{l s='Date of Birth'}</span>

<select id="days" name="days">

<option value="">-</option>

{foreach from=$days item=day}

<option value="{$day}" {if ($sl_day == $day)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$day}  </option>

{/foreach}

</select>

[vekia]

here:

<p class="select">

<span>{l s='Date of Birth'} ^*</span>

<select id="days" name="days">

<option value="">-</option>

{foreach from=$days item=day}

<option value="{$day}" {if ($sl_day == $day)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$day}  </option>

{/foreach}

</select>

[BuckWierd]

I tried that before and it doesn't work

Birthday is still without the "*"

Hello Everyone, I have found root cause of the date of birthday required error.

 

Here is complete flow of action.

 

function processSubmitAccount() in AuthController which is taking care of post data and validate them.

Then If we marked birthday field as required field then we need to update ObjectModel.php file. Because validation is checked based on parameters set in classes\Customer.php file and in Customer.php file there is birthday field on which are setting validation required=>true but there is no such fields in authentication.tpl file and in ObjectModel.php file there is function called validateController() which is checking for each required field data and produces error array.

 

So we have to update it for birthday field. In validateController() function you can find below code:

 

if (isset($data['required']) && $data['required'] && empty($value) && $value !== '0')

{

    if (!$this->id || $field != 'passwd')

       $errors[$field] = '<b>'.self::displayFieldName($field, get_class($this), $htmlentities).'</b> '.Tools::displayError('is required.');

}

 

Replace it with below code:

 

if(isset($data['required']) && $data['required'] && $field ==  'birthday')

{

         if (!@checkdate(Tools::getValue('months'), Tools::getValue('days'), Tools::getValue('years')) && !(Tools::getValue('months') == '' && Tools::getValue('days') == '' && Tools::getValue('years') == ''))

         {

               $errors[$field] = '<b>'.self::displayFieldName($field, get_class($this), $htmlentities).'</b> '.Tools::displayError('is required.');

         }

}

elseif (isset($data['required']) && $data['required'] && empty($value) && $value !== '0')

{

        if (!$this->id || $field != 'passwd')

               $errors[$field] = '<b>'.self::displayFieldName($field, get_class($this), $htmlentities).'</b> '.Tools::displayError('is required.');

}

 

Let me know if it works or not. I have checked with all the conditions and it works well.

Hello Everyone, I have found root cause of the date of birthday required error.

 

 

Thanks a lot, very helpful.

Adapted code for Presta 1.6:

      if(isset($data['required']) && $data['required'] && $field ==  'birthday')
      {
        if (!@checkdate(Tools::getValue('months'), Tools::getValue('days'), Tools::getValue('years')) && !(Tools::getValue('months') == '-' && Tools::getValue('days') == '-' && Tools::getValue('years') == '-'))
        {
          $errors[$field] = '<b>'.self::displayFieldName($field, get_class($this), $htmlentities).'</b> '.Tools::displayError('is required.');
        }
      }
      elseif (isset($data['required']) && $data['required'] && empty($value) && $value !== '0')
      {
        if (!$this->id || $field != 'passwd')        
        {
          $errors[$field] = '<b>'.self::displayFieldName($field, get_class($this), $htmlentities).'</b> '.Tools::displayError('is required.');          
        }
      }
