Hi,
Is it possible to change COPPA so that it only asks for the year of birth?

Thanks,
Afie

I think you need to edit your member_register_coppa templates:

{$lang->coppa_desc}

Remove the code.

They want it to only ask the year, not remove all the text about COPPA.

It needs a core file edit, line 347 of ./member.php, change:

$bdaytime = @mktime(0, 0, 0, $mybb->input['bday2'], $mybb->input['bday1'], $mybb->input['bday3']);

to:

$bdaytime = @mktime(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, $mybb->input['bday3']);

and line 353:

if($bdaytime >= mktime(0, 0, 0, my_date('n'), my_date('d'), my_date('Y')-13))

to:

if($bdaytime >= mktime(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, my_date('Y')-13))

So then it's just checking the year.

Then from the member_register_coppa template, find and remove:

<td class="smalltext"><label for="day">{$lang->day}:</label></td>
						<td class="smalltext"><label for="month">{$lang->month}:</label></td>

and:

<td>
							<select name="bday1" id="day">
								<option value="">&nbsp;</option>
								{$bdaysel}
							</select>
						</td>
						<td>
							<select name="bday2" id="month">
								<option value="">&nbsp;</option>
								<option value="1" {$bdaymonthsel['1']}>{$lang->month_1}</option>
								<option value="2" {$bdaymonthsel['2']}>{$lang->month_2}</option>
								<option value="3" {$bdaymonthsel['3']}>{$lang->month_3}</option>
								<option value="4" {$bdaymonthsel['4']}>{$lang->month_4}</option>
								<option value="5" {$bdaymonthsel['5']}>{$lang->month_5}</option>
								<option value="6" {$bdaymonthsel['6']}>{$lang->month_6}</option>
								<option value="7" {$bdaymonthsel['7']}>{$lang->month_7}</option>
								<option value="8" {$bdaymonthsel['8']}>{$lang->month_8}</option>
								<option value="9" {$bdaymonthsel['9']}>{$lang->month_9}</option>
								<option value="10" {$bdaymonthsel['10']}>{$lang->month_10}</option>
								<option value="11" {$bdaymonthsel['11']}>{$lang->month_11}</option>
								<option value="12" {$bdaymonthsel['12']}>{$lang->month_12}</option>
							</select>
						</td>

See how that goes.
