Userscripts.org

It seems that if the user does not provide his year of birth, the birth date will appear as for example:

1 Jan ()

But if the year is provided it displays correctly:

1 Jan, 1981 (31 years old)

Any ideas on how to fix this?

i think what you show is actually normal and not a bug.
if the user doesn't show his birth year, then the script has no way of knowing how old he is. if the script were still somehow able to know, then it would probably be against the rules.

but, if you're talking about the () still showing when there's no year, then i don't know how to fix it either. probably more lines would be need to be written to hide the () when it senses that a profile hasn't got a birth year on it.

Yup it's the () that bothers me. The script should determine whether the birth year is provided or not and if none is provided the brackets should not appear. The brackets are probably hard coded?

Find and change the line
if (info) { bdayNode.innerHTML = bdayNode.innerHTML + ' (' + info.join(', ') + ') '; }
to
if (info.length >0) { bdayNode.innerHTML = bdayNode.innerHTML + ' (' + info.join(', ') + ') '; }

That seems to fix it for me when there's nothing to display

Ed G: It works! Thank you!

In 2.3.1.8 Beta, if no year is provided, it will appear as:

Jan 1 (-1 years old)

I'm using the old layout, not timeline.

For anyone that wants to fix the -1 year thing before the next beta goes up here's a quick fix, on line 5066 change
if (prefs['Age']) { if (now.getFullYear()!=bday.getFullYear()) { info.push($l('yearsOld',bday.getAge())); } }
to
if (prefs['Age']) { if (now.getFullYear()!=bday.getFullYear() && bday.getAge()>=0) { info.push($l('yearsOld',bday.getAge())); } }
