Idea Change birthday format in profile

I have a strange problem in the profile section of the Kunena 1.6.3 forum.
When I visited the profile I get the birthday format in DD-MM-YYYY (day-month-year).
And when I want to change the birthday information in the profile the birthday format is YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day). Is it possible to change this? It is confusing for the forum visitors.

The date format in the first picture can be changed simply. You can change the format by editing the language file.

The layout of the items in shown in the second picture cannot be so simply changed. However, you can, if you want, build your own custom template to change the way that the data input textboxes are arranged.

Thanks for the quick reply.
That's a shame. I was hoping that the layout in the second picture was easy to edit. Do you no if there is a (commercial or free) template with the right (DD-MM-YYYY) date format?

I don't personally know the answer to that question, sorry. I have my hands full dealing with questions about the default template!

Maybe someone else in the community can help you.

If you're trying to do what I think the following should help.

Find the file ../components/com_kunena/template/default/profile/editprofile.php

Find the section that looks like this and rearrange the three lines highlighted in blue so they match the order you require.

<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_MYPROFILE_BIRTHDATE_DESC'); ?>" >
<input type="text" size="2" maxlength="2" name="birthdate3" value="<?php echo $bithdate[2]; ?>" />
<input type="text" size="2" maxlength="2" name="birthdate2" value="<?php echo $bithdate[1]; ?>" />
<input type="text" size="4" maxlength="4" name="birthdate1" value="<?php echo $bithdate[0]; ?>" />

Next, to change the wordning of the tooltip find the file ../language/en-GB/en-GB.com_kunena.ini

Find the section that looks like this COM_KUNENA_MYPROFILE_BIRTHDATE_DESC="Year (YYYY) - Month (MM) - Day (DD)"

Rearrange the text shown highlighted in blue to match the format you require for the tooltip.

That's it - you can either download the files in FTP and edit them locally or edit in cPanel file manager.

Hope this helps

Thanks. That's basically what I was trying to say a few posts ago; I didn't have time to fill in the details.
