Mandatory fields revisited: DOB

This is with regard to http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/#topic/BUG-Profile-Fields-Stuck-On-Mandatory.htm

But specifically DOB, making it non-mandatory and removing the min and max values as advised.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I said this is after I have make Date Of Birth (DOB) a non-mandatory field in the edit profile section and have removed DOB from the join form (makes sense as some people do not like specifying their age)

Scenario 1

I leave the max (99) and min (18) ages with values in.

Result: I cannot save the edited profile record as I have 0000-00-00 in the DOB field.

Scenario 2

I delete both the minimum and maximum age from date of birth

Result: When a user goes to edit their profile, the date of birth calendar will only let you select year 2010. Nothing above or below.

Scenario 3

I put the value 18 in the minimum field of DOB and leave the maximum field blank.

Result: In edit profile, the DOB calendar will not let you select any year and a blank space which is not a year.

Scenario 4

I put the value 99 in the maximum field of DOB and leave the minimum field blank.

Result: In edit profile, the DOB calendar will let me select a field (YAY!) but if I leave the age as 0000-00-00, it will not let me save the record (NOOOOO!).

I just noticed this issue.  Same exact problems as described. If this is fixed, can we have a set of files or code to update?

Thanks, I will test this out tomorrow.

Has anyone checked to see if leaving the DOB out will cause the profiles to not show up as happened in D6.1?

Just checked the most recent version of D7. Yes you can leave out DOB completely and profiles show up without a problem.

I skipped this issue as it seemed to fix itself.

I don't know which fixed the issue, one of the 2 following things:

1. Possibly because I reset min age to 18 & max to 99 while setting DOB to not be required.

2. Possilbly because I reverted to non-minified JS code.  I coded a batch file that would minify all the code JS files using jsmin but there's a possibility that the minification introduced a defect.

Was just trying to save the initial JS load performance but in the grand sceme of things saving 30K in download for now isn't worth it until I get a chance to test which of the changes I reverted corrected the issue.
