AdminCP > Profile Fields > Add new PRofile field > Single Select Menu >

Tile > Gender
Description > This is your gender, your either male or female 99% of the time.
Options:
Undisclosed
Male
Female
Default Option: Yes, but not blank

make note of the field id

Template edit:
in postbit(_legacy)
find

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>

add under

<if condition="$post[fieldX] != Undisclosed"><div>Gender: $post[fieldX] <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/gender_$post[fieldX].gif" alt="$post[fieldX]" /> </div></if>

Change X to the field id
And yer done
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

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

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??

[mholtum]

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.

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
