Is there any way to add the birthday option to a Standalone Registration Form? I’ve got the form working, using code referenced here.

I’ve tried adding the code below from the Profile Form, and that didn’t work:

<select name="bday_y" id="bday_y">
<
option value="">Year</option>
<
option value="2012">2012</option>
<
option value="2011">2011</option>
<
option value="2010">2010</option>
<
option value="2009">2009</option>
<
option value="2008">2008</option>
...and 
so on...
</
select><br />

<
select name="bday_m" id="bday_m">
<
option value="">Month</option>
<
option value="01">January</option>
<
option value="02">February</option>
<
option value="03">March</option>
...and 
so on...
</
select><br />

<
select name="bday_d" id="bday_d">
<
option value="">Day</option>
<
option value="1">1</option>
<
option value="2">2</option>
<
option value="3">3</option>
<
option value="4">4</option>
<
option value="5">5</option>
...and 
so on...
</
select

Any thoughts?

I found a solution.

You can’t initially send the birthday information with the registration, but you can set up a standalone member profile edit form (found here) that will allow the new user to edit their profile once their membership is confirmed.

It lets you embed a custom layout, showing whatever field options you wish, without having to go through the task of editing the EE member templates.

Thank you Yuri Salimovskiy and IntoEEtive!
