is there any way to only make certain years to appear, lets say from 1970 – 1999.

I’d be interested in a fix for this as well.

Hello,

the values you haveto tweak are hardcoded in bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php:639
`for ( $i = 2037; $i > 1901; $i– ) {`
Change 2037 and 1901 to what you want
Note: defaut start year is 1901 + 1 year = 1902 in the output.

You’ll lose your amendments as soon as you upgrade BuddyPress – it’s not a good practice to be hacking core files.

The safest way to address this one, would be to add a filter on: bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox

In there, you’d have to do a bit of PHP string manipulation – replacing the option value parts for year in the HTML string, with the range that you want.

It’s not straightforward, but it’ll work through a core upgrade.
