Short Intro:
You’re using JetFormBuilder and want to make sure users are at least 18 years old based on their birthday input.
Problem:
You need a way to check if the selected birthdate means someone is 18+ today, and block the form if they’re not.
Solution:
This solution is assuming you already installed Jetformbuilder plugin and know how to create a form.
- Add a date field.
- In the date field Block settings, go to limit dates and add ‘%CT::CurrentDate%’ – 568036800000.
- Enable Field > Is Timestamp.
- In validation > Validation Type, select Advanced and add the messages you want to use.
Notes:
- The form will only accept dates before or equal to the calculated date.
- %CT::CurrentDate% macro will return current day in timestamp format.
- 568036800000 is in milliseconds which is approximately equal to 18 years.
- You can add “Starting from date” value if you want to use a maximum age.
- Make the date field required so they cannot submit the form unless the date field is valid.
