Date field

diana38

I am using first time Acymailing 6. In Acymailing 5 there was a plugin for birthdays. I tried to use the date field instead of plugin ..without %y in subscription forms (as we don't need the year and not everyone would be willing to provide year). When I set date with year included in the field, form can be filled no problem, without %y no way it form can be submitted. System display errror ( set by me of course ) same way like entry wasn't done. Can anyone help to tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no way to do this at the moment!
A solution could be to define a default date (12/12/20 for example) then on the front-end hide the year dropdown using some CSS.

All your users will have year value set to 2020 but you don't mind about this right?

Thank you so much Alexandre.....I will try this.....🙂 Would be perfect solution...!

allright I must be dumb but I cannot see where I can set default value for year 🙁

I found one thing during the testing. Once I made field not required and the user fills birthday= it post to backend ok...so we collect data... (of course css disabled to show year = thank you for this tip) However it is not a real solution as we want to have birthdays 🙁 as required field......If I knew how to use default value for year this might help but I cannot figure out yet how 🙂

This way we will have a look at it.
Also please provide the form page URL ;-)

Hello Alexandre, Thank you for this.....I think it is a lot of ignorance by me at this point in time. I send you via the form in couple of days all information 🙂 Once I read first all documentation about new version 6 ...and comprehend! Again thank you so much.....Huge hugs
