Sorry for the slow reply. I put mine in the postbit_legacy template ... and it goes right after this bit:

{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}

and before:

{vb:raw post.onlinestatus}

It should look like this once done:

{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}
<!-- Wy Gender in postbit Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['field5']"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/{vb:raw post.field5}.gif" alt="{vb:raw post.field5}" /></vb:if>
<!-- Wy Gender in postbit End -->
{vb:raw post.onlinestatus}

Of course, you might not be using field 5, so you might have to change that bit. Let me know if you have any problems.

had an issue, i required it for registration. it wasn't showing up.

I added the following to my registration template:

FIND:

			<div class="blockrow">
				<ul class="group">
					<li>
						<label for="email">{vb:rawphrase email_address}:</label>
						<input type="text" class="textbox" name="email" id="email" maxlength="50" value="{vb:raw email}" dir="ltr" tabindex="1" />
					</li>
					<li>
						<label for="emailconfirm">{vb:rawphrase confirm_email_address}:</label>
						<input type="text" class="textbox" name="emailconfirm" id="emailconfirm" maxlength="50" value="{vb:raw emailconfirm}" dir="ltr" tabindex="1" />
					</li>
				</ul>
				<p class="description">{vb:rawphrase enter_valid_email_address}</p>
			</div>

ADD BELOW:

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

change XX for whatever your profile field for gender is.

and seems to be working...

working Perfectly on VB 4.2.0pl3

yes.

Firstly understand. The image name is case sensitive. Find first you Fieldx. No number, but the two names.
e.g: Male and Female =>Female is different of female
just rename the img as you filled in FieldX

Put the two img in /yourforum/images/misc

if you use VB4.2x

Find in postbit_legacy or postbit, this line: ( in my case I used postbit_legacy).

To put After USERNAME, use my attachments.

PHP Code:


     <vb:if condition="$post['userid']">      
        {vb:raw memberaction_dropdown} 


Change to:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['userid']">     
{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}    
 <vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.png" alt="{vb:raw post.fieldX}" />
            <vb:else />
                <span class="username guest">{vb:raw post.musername}</span>
</vb:if></vb:if> 


I alter to PNG File. (case sensitive to) if you need change to .gif or .GIF? it's OK.

I used spacing ( &nbsp; ) to separate the image of Username.

Maybe you need to take out or put more ( &nbsp; ).

Depending on the template of your postbit.

Be happy

Friend, you have to verify either the image path, I install in current version and struggle to 100%

[TravisWPaquin]

It does not list the gender on my postbit. I edited the template, added the images and profile field, but nothing. Any ideas on how to get it to show? The code I was to add below the other one did not have the break tag which gives me the impression I may of had the wrong code, but for the most part, I'm sure they did match. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can we have the texts Male or Female instead of the gender symbols?

Preferably, why not both. That would be nice to have.

This doesn't really require rocket science to modify this... Just sayin...
