Description

Hello, I found an error in the birth date BuddyPress. This error has a quick solution.

The error is in line 692 to 695 of file bp-xprofile-template.php.

for ( $i = 2037; $i > 1901; $i-- ) {
$html .= '<option value="' . $i .'"' . selected( $year, $i, false ) . '>' . $i . '</option>';
}
break;

These lines should be replaced by:

$anyo = date('Y');
for ( $i = $anyo; $i > 1901; $i-- ) {
$html .= '<option value="' . $i .'"' . selected( $year, $i, false ) . '>' . $i . '</option>';
}
break;

This is actually intentional. The date field isn't meant to be specifically for birthday dates; it can be used for anything. We do want to look at different types of profile fields in a future release, and as an example, a "birthday field" sounds reasonable.

If anyone's interested in why the upper year limit is 2037, it's to do with the Year 2038 problem minus a little for safety in case someone performs date calculations which go into January 2038.
