Hi,


I'm running a kids' site so they can trade art.  On registration, though, they either have to lie about their age and say they were born in 1992 or earlier OR can't register.


How do I change the age requirements of Oxwall so a kid as young as four can join my site?


Thanks

This solution does not work any more, how does one change the minimum age now?

Found it! The setting can be found at


yoursite.tld/admin/questions/account-types


One must then click edit near the "Birthday" field.


I have set Geek.Zone to allow anyone born in 2015 or before to sign up, however next year we would need to add 2016 to the available options. Is there a way that this can update itself automatically?

instead of yoursite.com/admin/questions/index got to yoursite.com/admin/questions/account-types and edit birthday year range 


EDIT:

you beat me to it :p

Ha ha yes Kieron, I type quickly!


Is there a way to automatically update it so that it always allows people that are at least 0 to register?

James Geddes, you may change age range as you described  but if you need update age range this should be done  manually. If you would like to change it automatically this is considered  as custom code modification.

Hi Taissa,


This is yet another elementary thing that has been left out of oxwall. Will the list ever end?

James Geddes, we are thinking about improving our software constantly and we have a public repository where you may add the features you need or  bug fixes: https://bitbucket.org/oxwall/public . So you are always welcomed to commit changes with working solution.

Finally I see you are taking my advice and encouraging the community to support Oxwall! Well done!


By the way, Taissa, you can call me "James". My surname is "Geddes", so you don't need to use it every time :)
