Hi guys - I can't find the ticket with the notes on this one to save my life, might have been in email, I'm not sure. I put in a feature request to hide the birthdate and only show Age. Someone on your side applied a fix that did that for me on my site, but did not send me the code for what they did. As soon as I updated the version it reverted, of course. I'd love to know what they did so I can apply it to my site again, as everyone's birthdays are showing.

In general - this is kind of a violation of privacy and leads to people putting in fake birthdays. I'd think this is a fairly straightforward, and hopefully priority, feature to add. Should be an option in the back end to only show age.
Beth in what view (section) and where ? Better if you have a screenshot

Hello Beth,

Yes, you might want to provide a screenshot of the section you wanted to hide. So that we can easily inform you how to do it.

Hi,

If you are referring to Profile -> About, then you can configure it here: https://db.tt/EI9XTaz3

If you would like user to configure themselves, then they will have to edit their profile, and set the Year Privacy in the birthday field. https://db.tt/lkQxjJyD

Would have been better to describe where to configure it because meanwhile the screenshot is no longer available and I am looking for the same thing. Could you please explain it again?

It is totally weird. I can hide the age and even the year but those two points are not relevant. The only thing that identifies you is the date. I do not understand why it is that way, it is totally upside-down.

I need to show only the age, please.

Hello Le,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Currently it is not possible to show age only inside the profile page. You need to manually modify the code in order to achieve this. First you need to enable the age view from your backend > easysocial > themes > select your default theme > profile > Display Age set to "yes". Next, go to your /media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/birthday/themes/default/display_content.php and comment out the following code at line 15,
<?php echo $date; ?>
// replace with
<?php //echo $date; ?>


Hope these help.
