How to make birthday field required on registration

[giwrgos88]

Hello, I'm looking a method to make birthday field on the registration form required because I want to add some warnings to categories which needs age restrictions.

 

I don't want on the next update of prestashop this modification to be lost.

 

I'm working on 1.6.1.0

 

Thank you

You reply is for the age to make it required or you post it on a wrong section?

Hello, 

 

You can do this by doing two overrides.

 

The first one is the Customer.php. We have to set the birthday field to require true.

<?php

//overrides/classes/Customer.php
// Set the birthday to required true

class Customer extends CustomerCore
{

    public function __construct($id = null)
    {
        self::$definition['fields']['birthday'] = array(
            'type' => self::TYPE_DATE,
            'validate' => 'isBirthDate',
            'required' => true
        );
        parent::__construct($id);
    }
}

The second is the front controller AuthController.php, if you don't do this one, you will never be able to create an account. Prestashop check if the required fields are in the POST, the birthday is calculated after so he won't be there at the control. So we had it before the control.

<?php

// overrides/controllers/front/AuthController.php
// Add the birthday to the POST to handle valideController

class AuthController extends AuthControllerCore
{
    protected function processSubmitAccount()
    {
        $birthday = (empty($_POST['years']) ? '' : (int)Tools::getValue('years').'-'.(int)Tools::getValue('months').'-'.(int)Tools::getValue('days'));
        if ($birthday) {
            $GLOBALS['_POST']['birthday'] = $birthday;
        }

        return parent::processSubmitAccount();
    }
}

And don't forget to delete the file in cache/class_index.php (it will be generated automatically), otherwise, those files won't be loaded by Prestashop.

Would it be possible to update your step by step guide to v1.7.2 please? It doesn't seem to work, 500 server error after uploading two edited files.

Could someone please explain to me where to insert this code in PS1.7.4.1 please?

when i go to .../override/classes there are only a bunch of folders which all only have "index.php" files in them but i can not find the customer.php or authcontroller.

 

thank you for helping a noob getting better
