For the images to work you would need to upload a

images/misc/gender_male.gif and gender_female.gif :)

If you dont have or want images remove the img tag :)

oops, i didn't know this hack already been released here. seems much easier than my Image Gender thing. ^_^

if it was your hack, i released it here after, seeing as this isnt much more than a template mod to begin with :)

Just a couple of things..


First, a typo.!
Should be:
Second, Disclosed should be Undisclosed.. =)
Disclose; To expose to view, as by removing a cover; uncover

I had to retype it as IE crashed :) and ill change it :P

very good zachery and easy to do

can be changed for a number of things cheers

i cliked install :)

Awesome!

nice! but what if its just a blank text field... how do i show those that is non blank text field?

Can this be done without the images, i.e. text only?

Sure just remove the imag tag :)

Thanks! :)

This is exactly what I'm looking for, but for some reason my images aren't showing up. I think i know what the problem is. I'm using the images_old directory for my images and I think $stylevar[imgdir_misc] calls upon vB's default image dir. I'm not much of a coder, so I'm not entirely sure how to make [imgdir_misc] point to the old one. I assumed the $stylevar would tell it to follow which ever directory the particular style is using, but it doesn't seem to reflect that. Ideas? I have the gender_male.gif and gender_female.gif in both the default vB images directory AND the images_old dir.

bump

just change the image path....

Zak can you put this in a text file?, thanks.

Didn't work. Now, maybe I can't combine a normal HTML path with vB code (which is just PHP, no?). This is what I have setup:
The src is correct, but it still won't work. I guess I could set it up w/o the image, but I figured the image would be kind of neat. I'm not really sure what the problem is at this point. I've got the images in every single images directory and vB still produces X's. I've used the default code and also the code above and the results never change.

works fine for me

Except if a member is deleted the picture turns into a red x ... can the information be retained if a member leaves or can the info be removed completely from the postbit?

I guess I could always add 1pixel image but that is more of a workaround than a solution

(Oh and first post so hello there)

Installed ;)

I can't seem to get this to work... I think it has something to do with having RPG stats hack installed as well... :(

Any Idea why even if the user has chosen to not answer the question (i.e. left the field blank) the "Gender:" info still shows up under their name, there is just nothing next to it. Here is what I have (the all text version) :

In your User Profile Manager set the default to "yes but no first blank option"

*admincp > user profile field > profile manager > gender > edit

and hello all :)

hope that works for you Beastboyz..

Well, that is only an option for the drop down boxes with multiple choices. Since mine will be "real name" and "Bike" options, I can't use a drop down box. Any ideas on how to do this with a single line text box?

Thanks everyone :)

Matt

Maybe make it a required field? if they dont have a bike enter N/A I guess.. *shrug* Maybe somoene will come back with some code that will default to "whatever" if left blank. :D

Hi, I'm trying to use this in the latest version of vbulletin but instead of the graphic showing up it says gender: female female. Can someone please help?

run this query in phpMyAdmin or AdminCP
adjust that fieldX with your gender field.

Works Great, I wish I thought of it!!!!

smaal but good

i try to add the $gender to my postbit and i want it next to my username but it puts it on a new line under the username??

anyway of getting to align with the username???? i have checked for <br> in code but there isnt any.

ame when i put the stars hack on my post bit too. i am still using original postbit cose.

http://www.carstyledirect.com/forum/ - to see example


thanks

ignore me i sorted it now.

I seem to remember releasing this exact same mod for Gamma & RC. Zach's response to it was

Your mod doesn't seem to do this at all, just a re-hash of previous ideas.

Hi,

I have followed all the instructions and the only place that the gender shows is in the member properties page AND it doesn't show the image (some little images i found elsewhere and uploaded to the correct directory/ correct names)

Any help appreciated,

Mith

All is ok... being a noob I didn't realise yoy had to change postbit AND postbit_legacy (instructions not clear)

Cheers

Thanks for the hack. It's awsome. :)

Thanks for the hack its great

Clicked install. But I have an issue. I uploaded my images to /forum/images/misc/ and now I have Gender: 2 2

Ok I am officially lost. I made all the correct changes to both postbit templates and I get the results as I stated. If I change the name of the gender_male.gif to gender_2.gif my male image appears but next to it is the Gender: 2 (then image here).

This isnt that tough.. What did I do wrong?? :eek:

Ok, Now I have a new problem. I redid the profile field and it shows male male. What I am doing wrong?? Ok I figured that out. I named them gender_male.gif and it should have been gender_Male.gif. Fixed that. I am now getting a "Red X" if a member doesnt or hasnt filled out the field in thier profile. Is there a way to fix this? Never mind. I created a gender_.gif and uploaded it. Now if they havent chosen an option, it says Gender: and a blank.

I've been searching for some gender graphics, astrology symbols for male / female. Hoping to find a pink one for female and blue for male... I saw this somewhere on someone's site but can't find it now....grrrrrrrrr Anyone know where I can find some? Thanks! :)

i use these:

and

http://www.turbidblue.com/forum/air/...der_Female.gif

and this one for those who havent chosen a gender

http://www.turbidblue.com/forum/air/misc/gender_.gif


hope those are cool :)

Thanks very much! Those will work great! :)

Nice Simple Hack, Installed :D

(3 Transparent Gifs + 1 Psd)

in the codes and in the filenames remember to use Caps Letter ( the first of each sex Male / Female, if you use female it wont work
