Show Gender In Postbit

This is nice and easy to install and simply shows a small icon next to the online status indicator to show the gender of the user.

The ZIP contains everything you need. There are two sets of images so you can choose your favorite.

I have circled the icons in the screenshot to enable you to see exactly where they are placed.


PLEASE NOTE: As mentioned in the instructions, the names of the images are case sensitive and so MUST be named exactly as you have defined them in the profile field.


Please click install if you have installed this.



Update 1.03: Added Memberlist images. Added instructions for non-standard languages. To upgrade download the upgrade 1.03 zip and follow instructions.

Update 1.02: Fixed an error in the code.

Update 1.01: Added image for undisclosed and changed instructions slighty to reflect this. To update download the 1.01 upgrade zip.

Update: I have added optional instructions to add Gender: before the image

[Note to mods] I have released for 3.0.x and 3.5.x even though it is identical as most people only look at the mods for their version.[/Note to mods]

petreska I cannot follow your way cause its a greek forum and I can't have greek filenames in the ftp!
So I tried adding this in the proper place:

 <if condition="$post['field5'] & 1">
<div> Φύλο: [img]%22$stylevar%5Bimgdir_misc%5D/male.gif%22[/img]
</if>
<if condition="$post['field5'] & 2">
<div> Φύλο: [img]%22$stylevar%5Bimgdir_misc%5D/female.gif%22[/img]
</if>

but nothing happens... I followed these instructions... I know they are for 3.0.x but as I have seen the postbit hasn't changed that much so they should work...

What am I doing wrong??

[peterska2]

Use this instead

 
<if condition="$post['field5'] & 1">
<div> Φύλο: <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/male.gif" />
</if>
<if condition="$post['field5'] & 2">
<div> Φύλο: <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/female.gif" />
</if>

That should work

[Lea Verou]

no it didn't.
Also the forum makes the <img> tag [img] for some reason and generally screwed up the code I posted above! It's not like that!
It's like yours but with 2 more </div>

If a member has no gender set yet, it asks for /images/misc/.gif and leaves a broken image. any way to fix this so no image is shown?

If the member has no gender set then the condition will be false and nothing should show...
Are you supposing this or you actually have this problem?

[thedvs]

well in IE its showing a broken image and calling .gif

[peterska2]

ok, add another option undisclosed and set that to be the default one.

Then upload this image to the /images/misc folder.

I'll update the instructions and zip file too

I wasn't going to say anything untill I, just a moment ago looked at your installer for both.. you even use the same wording as me... how awsome of you.
