Age Plugin - Shows age at stats menu

Can this work as an age verification tool? I would like it to refuse registration if the user is under 18 years old.

Well, basically trigers can perform some database work (insert,delete,update and some other computings like maths, based on your fields.
So you can use it to delete an user just after his registration if he doesn't match your criterias, but the weak point is that there will not be any comunication with the user.

To inform it, you must modify joomlapolis source code or
an other and more reliable way would be to use a cool cb feature :

- you can specify to cb a webpage to launch after the FIRST login of a new user. Then tell to CB to launch a php script that check the age of the latest user and if it's not ok, you can delete it and print a message to inform the user that is account has been deleted

I have used this to make my registered becoming author automatically after the first login.


Good luck,

How can we place the AGE inside the profile information tab? and I would like to add the Name as well to the tab. How to do this? Thanks.

this small plugin is designed for display in the statistics area.. it won't display in any tab..

it does what it says it does and it won't do anything else, development has finished unless someone comes up with a great idea.. like also calculate and add starsigns.. but that became a new plugin..

no i guess this is all it does and it will probably never do more.. it really is the smallest plugin

Thanks DjTrail Nevertheless I still like the plugin even if its there in the stats area. Looking forward to test the add start sign (zodiac sign) too.

When i donwload this package it won't work.

But when i edit age.php - line 59

[code:1]$agetekst = $params->get('ageText', "Age"«»);[/code:1]

to >

[code:1]$agetext = $params->get('ageText', "Age"«»);[/code:1]

($agetekst > $agetext)

Than it works well.
