Age restriction required for firework site

[babyewok]

My client sells fireworks and needs to make sure that the people buying from the site are over 18. I need to make the Date of Birth required on sign up and to check that the person is over 18, and if not, then to show this error message:
We're sorry, but you need to be over 18 years of age in order to buy from our website.

How can I go about doing this?

I have the latest version of Prestashop

No ideas about how I can do this? I really need to make the DOB required and automatically check they are over 18

Hey babyewok,

 

Did you ever find a solution to this?

You sell fireworks as well?

 

Have a look at this module. Disclosure: module is built by me.

You are awesome! This is exactly what I need. I was able to get a minimum age by editing the Validate.php file but to make DOB mandatory was beyond me. I don't sell firework related products but tobacco related products.

 

Cheers,

Rob.

All I could do was to check the birthday entered when registering to make sure they were over 18. If not, they get this message: You are too young to purchase from this site! Over 18s only.

 

This was added below the other scripts at teh top of authentication.tpl in my theme

 

<script type="text/javascript">
   function checkAge()
        {         
 /* the minumum age you want to allow in */
 var min_age = 18;

 /* change "age_form" to whatever your form has for a name="..." */
 var year = parseInt(document.forms["account-creation_form"]["years"].value);
 var month = parseInt(document.forms["account-creation_form"]["months"].value);
 var day = parseInt(document.forms["account-creation_form"]["days"].value);

 var theirDate = new Date((year + min_age), month, day);
 var today = new Date;

 if ((today.getTime() - theirDate.getTime()) < 0)
 {
           alert("You are too young to purchase from this site!  Over 18s only");
        return false;
        }
 else
        return true;
           }
</script>

 

Then right at the bottom, an onclick was added to the submit button:

 

<input type="submit" name="submitAccount" id="submitAccount" value="{l s='Register'}" class="exclusive" onclick="return checkAge()" />

 

Hope that helps

The code

var theirDate = new Date((year + min_age), month, day);

should be change to

var theirDate = new Date((year + min_age), month-1, day);

 

This is because the integer value representing the month, begin with 0 for January and not 1.

I will not be developing this module any further. Module codebase and rights has been transferred to another member of these forums, to a PrestaShop Gold Certified agency, who I have no doubt will continue to maintain the quality the users of the module have come to expect. All further queries about the module should be made to Marty.
