Birth Date Field

  1. Is there any chance that there is going to be a birthday field? I seem to always have a lot of forms that require the user to input his/her birth date. The date field works for this but I've noticed that users don't exactly use it properly.

    It would be a nice feature to have this field a long with maybe some simple validation options.

  2. We do plan on adding additional date field options. So i'm sure a birthdate will make it in to a future release.

    I have been looking for a way to capture date of birth as well. I would like to be able to send a subscriber an email on their sixteenth birthday (via Mailchimp), but I can't work out a way to do that at the moment. Is it possible?

  4. Mactonex, what would your birthdate field look like? What information are you trying to capture?

    Just a simple date field, with an option to display mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy.

  6. Can you use the datepicker advanced field, or did I overlook one of your requirements?

    Chris,
    yes, thank you, that field will do. Sorry - newbie on a *very* steep learning curve. My brain seems to be responding by selectively failing to process chunks of reality. Hey ho, time for another coffee :-)

  8. @Mactonex Gravity Forms v1.6, currently a test release, has added additional date options for capturing dates. See this screenshot for a preview of the available types when configuring the Date Field in Gravity Forms v1.6: http://i.imgur.com/WrtiX.png

    Gravity Forms v1.6 is currently stable but is still considered a test release. Release Candidate 1 is available for download on the Plugin Downloads page and adds extensive new features which you can read about here:
