can this age restriction override be modified to work with recent versions?

[Truffelstunter]

found this and treid to get it work

probably for an old version of prestashop. But it does excatly what i need, so if anybody kknow how to modify it so it should work on recent prestashopversions i would be very grateful and i think more people will also!

 

In this tutorial, we show a code to restrict the user the age of 18 as the minimum age.

To do this, the validation class (class / Validation.php) that birthday check is used. But we use the override to avoid modifying core files of PrestaShop.

First, create a new php file called Validation.php, and put this content:

class Validate extends ValidateCore {
public static function isBirthDate($date)
{
if (empty($date) || $date == '0000-00-00')
return false;
if (preg_match('/^([0-9]{4})-((?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))-((?:0?[1-9])|(?:[1-2][0-9])|(?:3[01]))([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2})?$/', $date, $birth_date))
{
if ((floor((time() - strtotime($date))/31556926))<18)
return false; 
if ($birth_date[1] > date('Y') && $birth_date[2] > date('m') && $birth_date[3] > date('d'))
return false;
return true;
}
return false;
}
}

 

and copy this file to overrides/classes directory of PrestaShop. After that, delete the file cache/class_index.php to load the new override and thats all

I just tested this on my PrestaShop v1.6.1.7 test site and it works fine. It did have a syntax error that disappeared after I reformatted the code though. Here's what I have in override/classes/Validate.php:

<?php

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

        if (preg_match('/^([0-9]{4})-((?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))-((?:0?[1-9])|(?:[1-2][0-9])|(?:3[01]))([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2})?$/', $date, $birth_date)) {
            if ((floor((time() - strtotime($date)) / 31556926)) < 18)
                return false;
                
            if ($birth_date[1] > date('Y') && $birth_date[2] > date('m') && $birth_date[3] > date('d'))
                return false;

            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
}

I then went and tried to register a new account with a birth date that made me under 18 years. At first I thought it wasn't working, but then I realised that the "Invalid date of birth" message doesn't appear unless every other field is correct.

 

You can go to Localization > Translations > Error message translations to change the error message to something more friendly like "You must be over 18 years old to register.".
