Date Custom field - change starting year

Post by Sara »

Hi Everyone,
I've a question about the use of a custom field of type "Date".
I want to have the possibility to store for year 2006 (or other year before 2012).
How can I change the range of years suggested by the system? Thanks in advance....
Sara

Add the following code to file config_inc.php and adjust it to your needs

Code: Select all

/**
 * Number of years in the past that custom date fields will display in
 * drop down boxes.
 * @global integer $g_backward_year_count
 */
$g_backward_year_count = 4;

/**
 * Number of years in the future that custom date fields will display in
 * drop down boxes.
 * @global integer $g_forward_year_count
 */
$g_forward_year_count = 4;
