Hey, I thought this could be done with templates alone?

[tnguy3n]

yup, it's done by template mod.

I made my own male/female signs (bit like those on toilet doors etc.)

I simply leave it blank if the user is "Undeclared" (which I first put as "Undecided" - Whoops!)

If anyone wants to use them feel free:

nice images, thanks for sharing. :)

If anyone wants to use them feel free:

I plan on making mine say "Unsure" as that will prompt them to pick one or the other. ;)

Shouldn't that be iowa.org? ;)

[tnguy3n]

Shouldn't that be iowa.org? ;)

how about vbiowan.org? :D

btw, are you a hawk or cyclone? :ninja:

[Boofo]

LOL Yeah, that would work better I think. ;)

It depends really. I've never been partial to either one. I like them both. It keeps me out of trouble that way. How about you, or should I even ask, considering where you are? ;)

[FleaBag]

Sorry! The description says there is 1 file mod?

Works great though! Thanks for the images mini2!

[tnguy3n]

That's a mistake. It should be template. ;)

Well, I'm not into Football much, but I do follow up my score and matches, espcially the one with the Cyclone. The two have been rivals for many years, and the game between them is like one big annual festival. :D

[Boofo]

Harsh.

;)

But it works. ;)

[tnguy3n]

Did you change XX value in $post[fieldX] to your fieldid?

[funinthesun]

Yep :confused: I'm going to put the code into the postbit template instead of the postbit_legacy template because I think that may be the problem. I had the same situation with the mood hack so I'll give it a try and let you know :)

[funinthesun]

OK, I put the code into the postbit template instead of the postbit_legacy template and it's working fine now. I've also changed the male and female icons and uploaded them here to share with all of you :)

[tnguy3n]

glad it works for you.
instruction says postbit(_legacy), but it's recommended to mod in both template in case you switch from one to another style.

[cbr929rrerion]

I tried this, could not get it to display anything.. I dunno.. I put them in the right catagory, I put the firld..5, and nothing...

[cbr929rrerion]

Fixed it.. it did not work in postbit_legacy but it did in postbit..

Thanks

[funinthesun]

That was the same problem I had :)

[Flow Fusion]

Great hack thanks. Also thanks for the images.

[DaXecutioner]

hi, this feature looks awesome. although i probably wont be installing it (no use for it right now...) i do have some questions. i was hoping you might be able to help with the questions i have here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=814173#post814173

after reading your post a little more (skimmed it before for some reason) im going to try what you did. thanks!

[Rickie3]

*installed* nice hack thanx

<font color="SeaGreen">* christianb clicks install</font>

I'd like to integrate this somehow with the default avatar hack.

[Hornstar]

I'm gonna try this with 3.5.4 now, see if it still works

however could this be made any better, or is it already really good.

[kungfujesus]

Works great in 3.5.4 but I had to troubleshoot a couple things:
You don't specify wether to change [fieldX] to [field#] or just [#]... I figured out it's [field#].
Secondly, in the directions you state to upload the gender directory to images/gender but at the bottom you state:
1. DON'T FORGET TO UPLOAD gender dir TO YOUR forum/gender OR IT WON'T WORK.

I would change 1. to images/gender instead of forum/gender. I must have missed the original listing where to place the gender directory and put it in forums/gender instead.

Other than that it works fine. Yes I clicked install.
:banana:

[defcon_420]

Nice lil hack "clicks install"


Find in postbit
<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>


HAHAHA sorry i find it funny, cause just about anyone who has installed any mods in their vb that would be about the first line to go.
By looking at the screen shot it made it easy for me to see where in the code to put it.

Great job!

[davidw]

HAHAHA sorry i find it funny, cause just about anyone who has installed any mods in their vb that would be about the first line to go. I actually like the post count and thus I kept mine.

This should be moved to the graveyard as it appears all files/images have been removed.

[alpayton]

This should be moved to the graveyard as it appears all files/images have been removed.

There's not supposed to be any files to be dl'd...it's a code modification only.
