It's not showing up on my registration form - does anyone know how I would add it?

Solved my own problem:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > Registration Templates > register

Add:

<div class="blockrow">
				<ul class="group">
					<li>
<label for="gender">{vb:rawphrase gender}:</label>
<select class="primary" name="userfield[field5]" id="cfield_5" tabindex="1">
<option value="0" selected="selected"></option>
<option value="1">Male</option>
<option value="2">Female</option> 
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="userfield[field5_set]" value="1" />
					</li>
				</ul>
			</div>

sure thats possible.

just search for the point where the vb: if is getting teh info if you have a avatar pic or not.


@Mustii:

Sprachen und Phrasen -> Phrasen durch suchen -> gender
(auf die klein schreibung achten)

Dort dann die ?bersetzungen eintragen, da die Variable die du ?bersetzt hast, der feldname im Einstellungskontext ist.
