How would I write the {if} statement calculation to determine a day/month/year that is over 13years from current_day?

I have a "profile" birth date field set up for children, whose parents are able to manage their child's profile. It is set up using the "custom form designer" in the "profile settings area" as a date_birthday type.

I wish this worked:
{if $profile_birth_date > (smarty.now + 13y)}

{if $profile_birth_date + (13 * 31536000) >= $smarty.now}

31536000 is the number of seconds in a year.

There's lots of examples around for smarty :)

Quote:
{$smarty.now} is a simple timestamp (number of seconds since 1970). So you can just add as many seconds to it as you need:

{$smarty.now+20*24*60*60|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'} //+20 days

So you just need to figure out how many seconds in 13 years and add that.

Is $profile_birth_date in UnixTime or is it yyyymmdd ?

Wow I thought I was the only one concerned about the lack of privacy options in Jamroom, particularly for children/younger members.

There is no way to systematically verify or enforce age restrictions online, so not sure what is missing. Jamroom is already setup to work correctly:

1) Set your signup to "admin validated"
2) Have your members who signup send or fax you "proof" of their age
3) authorize their account if things line up

Anything else is just a game and can't be relied on.
