Please help. change DOB format for 10-digit social security

[oling]

My site will be in Icelandic (as main languague) and I need to use social security numbers instead of only the "Date of Birth" in create_account. These are always 10-digits like, "DDMMYYCCCC" (C for numbers 0-9). So (after some investigation), I think I at least need to modify the following line in the icelandic.php file (same as english.php) somehow:

/ text for date of birth example
define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy');

to displaying something like:

/ text for date of birth example
define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mmddyycccc');

Does anyone know how to do this, please?

Thanks, oling

First off all it will not work with 'cccc' AT ALL as it will not reconize it as a date. This is a DATE field not a text field. You would be better off following all the DOB variable and ADD a text feild to all files.
