Hi again!
As my users were a bit reluctant to share some of their personal data within my site I came up with a way to "obscure" the birthdays they enter within a datetime region. I had the incredible inventive idea (
) to "hide" the data for the month and day inside the time part while I feed some random values then to the dates. I "decode" then the information on the frontend.
All that works rather fine, unless I change something on the users page within the admin panel (or if I hit simply save there without making changes of course). If I <cms:dump/> the data afterwards, the time part of the variable is empty, or better "00:00:00". Is that a known problem? Can it be fixed?
