i tried to find a working solution for drupal 6, but i guess there is no one.

i created a birthday/date field with cck. but of course it shows only the date, not the age of a user.

its very important for my project to show a user's age.

I am not code with code, i hope someone out there has a working solution for me.

thank you very much!

I believe the VIEWS module lets you express a date as "Time Ago." In the case of a birthday, that is age!

What if you are not using Views to display age? I been looking for a module to do such but no luck. Any recommends? =)

there's http://drupal.org/project/birthdays but you'll have to use profiles

Has anyone successfully accomplished this with Birthday module? Any guides would be helpfully. My intention is to valid an age on new user registrations.

I don't think the original post is to validate the user's age. The Birthday module just takes a profile field and use it to display the users age in a block.

its very important for my project to calucate users age.

If you're using computed field, then you just have to do the math (see http://drupal.org/node/149228). Also, I don't remember if computed field works on the user registration page.

Well, i already found this. but its not very good documented.

Does the user has to customize any lines on this code which is here given?

http://drupal.org/node/149237

<?php
$birthday_date = date_make_date($node->field__[0]['value']);
$birthday = $birthday_date->db->parts;

//compute age
$bdayunix = mktime(0, 0, 0, $birthday['mon'], $birthday['mday'], $birthday['year']);
$nowunix = time();
$unixage = $nowunix - $bdayunix;
$age = floor($unixage/ (365 * 24 * 60 * 60));

$node_field[0]['value'] = $age;
?>

no, not the user. you have to customize it.

i tried to customize the fields, but the field displays alway the number "9". No matter which birthdate is given... :\

well, maybe you're doing something wrong, in the code above the field with the birthday it's "field__" I think that's the only thing you have to change. I never used that code but it doesn't seems to hard to understand.

$node_field[0]['value'] = $age;

i changed it to the right field

She has a tutorial that will return the user's age.
Though, as a noob, I'm still working on including the birth date fields on the user's profile information...

:)

Love to see what you figure out!
