Registrations - Restricting to over 18s

[Mandala]

Hi,

Apologies if this is a stupid question. Due to the nature of our business, we can not have anyone under the age of 18 purchasing products. Is there a way in PrestaShop 1.3.1 to deny registration to people who put in a date that states they are under the age of 18?

Thank you.

Just a quick bump, really looking for an answer on this one - any help would be appreciated

Thank you!

I suggest that you use Javascript to compare the birthday to the current date. Add something like this in authentication.tpl:

<script language="javascript">
   function checkAge()
   {
       /* the minumum age you want to allow in */
       var min_age = 18;

       /* change "age_form" to whatever your form has for a name="..." */
       var year = parseInt($('#years').value);
       var month = parseInt($('#months').value);
       var day = parseInt($('#days').value);

       var theirDate = new Date((year + min_age), month, day);
       var today = new Date;

       if ((today.getTime() - theirDate.getTime()) < 0) 
       {
           alert("You are too young to enter this site!");
           return false;
       }
       else 
           return true;
   }
</script>

then change line 224 of authentication.tpl:

<input type="submit" name="submitAccount" id="submitAccount" value="{l s='Register'}" class="exclusive" />

Add onclick="return checkAge()" to the button (with straight quotes, not angle quotes). It's annoying how the forums automatically delete onclick events from all posted code.

Thanks!

I'll give this a try

[Mandala]

Sorry about this, but where does the onclick go to? And do I have to place the large chunk of code in any particular area of the tpl?

Thanks

Add the onclick event before the /> at the end of the line.

You can put the Javascript anywhere in the TPL file.

Hi rocky - I'm trying to implement this on v.1.4 and nothing seems to happen even if I put 2001 as the year of birth - is there something I need to change for it to work on v 1.4?

[babyewok]

hmm, maybe it has something to do with where you say "change "age_form" to whatever your form has for a name="..." "...I can't see age_form referrenced in your javascript

[babyewok]

I managed to get this working by changing

 var year = parseInt($('#years').value);
var month = parseInt($('#months').value);
var day = parseInt($('#days').value);

to

var year = parseInt(document.forms["account-creation_form"]["years"].value);
        var month = parseInt(document.forms["account-creation_form"]["months"].value);
        var day = parseInt(document.forms["account-creation_form"]["days"].value);

and adding name="account-creation_form" to the necessary form
