Reduce card transaction start date choices...

[george]

The default credit card start date starts at 1994 (ten years), any way I can change it to 2000? Have searched the forums, etc but no joy.

Hi George,

I've asked our development team about this. I'll let you know once I've heard back from them.

Hi George,

Our development team have given the following hack:

Open OrderScript.pl in a text editor such as notepad.

Search for:

for ($nYear = 0; $nYear < 11; $nYear++)

and you should see:

for ($nYear = 0; $nYear < 11; $nYear++)		# now do the years
		{
		#
		# populate the start date year field
		#
		my ($nStartYear, $nExpYear);
		($nStartYear, $nExpYear) = ($nYear + $year - 10, $nYear + $year);

Change - 10 to - 4

Save and close the file and update your site.

When entering card details when a customer selects `Card Details Sent Separately` the default on my V7 starts at 1979! Handy if we could reduce this date too. I think the Queen would be the only person to get a 25 year card and she does not shop at FH.Not that I know of anyway.

I know this is an old thread but

the last comments are still valid, can this be changed at some time, when adding the start date manually it is a bit of a pain as there is no sliding scroll bar

please correct both the points made in this thread, because i have to change the perl script every update and this would be one less to remember to change

Cheers
