Magento. Add gender and date of birth to the registration form

Question

I want to put 2 fields in the user registration form, / customer / account / create /. These fields are gender selection and birthday.

As I have already seen, the magento user module already has these 2 attributes, so if I am not mistaken, I do not need to ruin the tables.

So how can this be done? Through observers? Or does the controller overwrite? Which option is better?

My Magento - 1.5.

Answer 1

I have only magento 1.6 version and you have options:

Configuration → Clients → Cusotmers Configuration → Name and Address Parameters

Show date of birth Show gender
