How to add date of birth from About Me plugin to Registeration?

Hi All!
Need help with some customization. I'm using About Me plugin to make user profiles on my Vanilla Forum and need to add Date Of Birth from About Me plugin to Register page. I'm using Version 2.0.18.8

So I copy this to register page:


<?php
     echo $this->Form->Label('Date of Birth', 'Birthday');
     echo $this->Form->Date('BD', $this->GenderOptions);
     ?>
</li>
<li>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <?php
                     echo $this->Form->CheckBox('HideBD', T('Don't show DOB'), array('value' => '1'));
                ?>
            </td>
            <td>
                <?php
                     echo $this->Form->CheckBox('HideBY', T('Don't show year'), array('value' => '1'));
                ?>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</li>

But, after register Profile still clear. How to make it show DOB after register on a profile tab?
Sorry, for my bad english...And thanks for help!

    The issue is that registering a new user uses the User model and the data you are capturing needs to be stored in the AboutMe model. You will have to hook into the entry controller registration successful event and look for your data. Then update the about me model.

    Something like below will get you started:

    public function EntryController_RegistrationSuccessful_Handler($Sender) {
      $FormValues = $Sender->Form->FormValues();
    
      // Use this to find your data
      decho($FormValues);
    
      $AboutMeModel = new Gdn_Model('AboutMe');
      $AboutMeModel->Save($FormValues);
    }

    you could look at this to get ideas:

    short of this, if you don't have time, and if a volunteer doesn't have time, you may need to go the pay for what-you-want route. good luck.

    php was only created 19 years ago, so it wasn't too long ago in the scheme of things :)
