Age Check

Hi Tran,

Our competition events group individuals by age category. During registration the registrant selects their competition category and enters his/her year of birth, as the competition age is based on age on Dec 31 of the competition year. We use a custom javascript to check by using Current Year - Year of Birth when the user completes those items on the registration form. This works fine except when the tournament year is not the current year (for instance, registration in October 2015 for a Jan 2016 tournament). We would like to reference the year of the tournament start date in the javascript? Can this be done? If so, please advise. If it helps, I've attached a file with the javascript that we use.

Thanks,
Tem

Hi Tem

Means you want to present year of the event in javascript ? If so, on what page you want to present this data ? Maybe you want the year available in a javascript variable?

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

Yes, we want the year of the event available in a javascript variable on the registration form page , i.e., when the user is registering for the event. The variable would replace the CurrentYear variable in the javascript file I sent. Can we do that?

Tem

The javascript file was not uploaded, I could not see your code. Could you please upload the file components/com_eventbooking/view/register/html.php here ? Please zip the file before uploading, otherwise, it won't be uploaded

Tuan

Here's both the html.php and the javascript

Hi Tem

Sorry, I am too busy and could not read the validation code. You can get this file, unzip and upload it to components/com_eventbooking/view/register folder of your site.

Run it and you will see a javascript variable called eventYear available for you to use. If you look at the file, you will see that it is generated by this code:

Hope it is a good start for you to work on the customization

Tuan

No file attached

Hmm. Seems it was not uploaded for some reasons. Please get the file here

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

Worked like a charm.

As always, thanks for your outstanding support,

Tem

OK Tem. Thanks for confirming.

Tuan
