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]

Can you post the exact code that you have in your postbit legacy template then I can see if I can find anything.

[Snake]

OK sure here's my postbit_legacy template...

<tr valign="top">
<td class="alt1" width="175">
<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
<if condition="$show['profile']">
<a class="bigusername2" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
<else />
$post[musername]
</if>
<if condition="$post[field9]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[field9].gif" alt="$post[field9]" /></if>
</div>

<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['rank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>

<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<div class="smallfont">
&nbsp;<br /><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</if>

There's no reason why it should be wrapping with your code. The only thing I can if that might be forcing the wrap is the length of usernames.

[Snake]

You think so? So what is the solution to this fix then? I can't just leave it alone.

[peterska2]

Have a look at my 3.6 version. It works on 3.5.4 too and puts it in a different place.

[Snake]

Sorry for my late respond. It's because I was extremely busy with my personal life, girlfriend and all of that.

So anyway if I install your 3.6 version of this hack, it should solve my issue that I'm having?

[peterska2]

It should do, just make sure that you uninstall this versions temaplate edit first and set up the template edit for the 3.6 version only. You don't need the profile field as you already have that.

I need a little help with this...

I installed the mod, but I'd like it to display differently.
On the left is how it currently displays. On the right is how I'd like it to display. Can you help me with this?

[Snake]

Find the phrase "$vbphrase[gender]" and remove it. Simple!

[Majest]

I have just went through the installation of this hack but it doesn't seem to show up on the posts or in the edit profile section in the user cp.

Did I do something wrong or missed something out. I was a little confused with weather to edit the postbit or the postbit_legacy so I did both.

Apart from that I did everything in the install instructions.
