Gender Hack for vB 2.2.0

This is basically the same as the Gender Hack for the earlier version, but made to work with 2.2.0. This is all my coding, but was not originally my idea. There are three new images that I made for this, and I may make alternate ones for those because they're kinda blah. Anyway, hope you like it.

Enjoy!

Lesane, care to share how you do it for 2.0.3?

[Lesane]

Sure, no problem.

Its all the same except the part in register.php. The find and replace part contains "$avatarid", version 2.0.3 dont have that in the register.php.

So when it asks 2 replace the part in register.php do this:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,username,password,email,".$newstylefield." parentemail,coppauser,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,signa ture,adminemail,showemail,invisible,usertitle,join date,cookieuser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,u sergroupid,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receiv epm,emailonpm,options,birthday,maxposts,startofwee k,ipaddress,pmpopup,referrerid,nosessionhash,gende r) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($username))." ','".addslashes(md5($password))."','".addslashes(h tmlspecialchars($email))."',".$newstyleval."'".add slashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."','$coppa user','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))." ','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."','".adds lashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."','".addslashes(ht mlspecialchars($yahoo))."','".addslashes($signatur e)."','$adminemail','$showemail','$invisible','".a ddslashes($usertitle)."','".time()."','$cookieuser ','".addslashes($prunedays)."','".time()."','".tim e()."','$newusergroupid','".addslashes($timezoneof fset)."','$emailnotification','$receivepm','$email onpm','$options','".addslashes($birthday)."','".ad dslashes($umaxposts)."','".addslashes($startofweek )."','".addslashes($ipaddress)."','$pmpopup','".ad dslashes($testreferrerid['userid'])."','$nosessionhash','$gender')");

Good luck

[Ifrani]

But how can I edit the gender in the AdminCP ????

[Ifrani]

If edit the my profile, there is always the default value selected. If I change an other option in the profile, my gender is set to unknown... Is there a problemsolving for that ???

Hi everyone. Great hack, but i think it needs some more treatment... Hardcodeing the images is not a very usable idea, therefore, use templates.

Add 3 templates
gender_male:
&nbsp;<img src="images/male.gif" border="0">

gender_female:
&nbsp;<img src="images/female.gif" border="0">

gender_undiscloed:
&nbsp;<img src="images/questionmark.gif" border="0">


If you want to change this part now ever, just change these 3 templates. Now to the modifications you need to do for them to work properly with the page.

IMPORTANT for the part below: Everything stays the same in the 3 files, EXCEPT $post[gender]. Justtake a good look and replace the coresponding code... it aint that hard

Wherever the instructions tol you to put in this code:

PHP Code:

        if ($post[gender] == "0") {
          $genderimage = "&nbsp;<img src=\"images/questionmark.gif\" border=\"0\">";
        } elseif ($post[gender] == "1") {
          $genderimage = "&nbsp;<img src=\"images/female.gif\" border=\"0\">";
        } elseif ($post[gender] == "2") {
          $genderimage = "&nbsp;<img src=\"images/male.gif\" border=\"0\">";
        } 


Put now in this one:

PHP Code:

      if ($post[gender] == "0") {
         eval("\$genderimage = \"".gettemplate("gender_undisclosed")."\";");
      } elseif ($post[gender] == "1") {
         eval("\$genderimage = \"".gettemplate("gender_female")."\";");
      } elseif ($post[gender] == "2") {
         eval("\$genderimage = \"".gettemplate("gender_male")."\";");
      } 


This has to be done in these files: admin/functions.php member.php memberlist.php

Now 2 more steps and we have it.
in member.php search for

PHP Code:

if ($action=="getinfo") {
  $templatesused = "getinfo_sendpm,aol,icq,yahoo,getinfo_birthday,getinfo_customfields,getinfo"; 


change the second part to this:

PHP Code:

$templatesused = "getinfo_sendpm,aol,icq,yahoo,getinfo_birthday,getinfo_customfields,getinfo,gender_male,gender_female,gender_undisclosed"; 


If you have some hacks that might need here more, just take a look at the end. Its just 3 names added.

Now change in memberlist.php the 4th line, and add there also the three templates. If you have no other hacks it could look like this:

PHP Code:

$templatesused = "memberlist_letterselected,memberlist_letter,postbit_search,postbit_useremail,icq,aim,yahoo,postbit_homepage,postbit_sendpm,postbit_profile,memberlistbit,memberlist,memberlistsearch,gender_male,gender_female,gender_undisclosed"; 


Thats it, its now template based. The fun with templates is that you change a tamplte and you change the places where you added it. Thats why i missed this function in the hack, because i felt like trying around a bit with the images and other images and it sucked to make the changes all the time to the code.

Thanks for the great hack!!!

Toying around, i found it sucks not to be able to change the the status of the user as an admin. So i whipped out this little hack.

First, you need a whole new function in admin/adminfunctions.php
Find:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start makechoosercode ####################### 


Add BEFORE:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start makeselectcode #######################
function makeselectcode ($title,$name,$seedarray,$selvalue=-1) {
// returns a combo box containing a list thats fed from an hash called seedarray
// that hash needs a pair combination, where the name will be used as title and the value as value
// allows specification of selected value in $selvalue


  echo "<tr class=\"".getrowbg()."\" valign=\"top\">\n<td><p>$title</p></td>\n<td><p><select name=\"$name\">\n";
  
  while ( list($key, $val) = each($seedarray) ) {
    if ($selvalue==$val) {
      echo "<option value=\"$val\" SELECTED>$key</option>\n";
    } else {
      echo "<option value=\"$val\">$key</option>\n";
    }
  }
  echo "</select>\n</p></td>\n</tr>\n";
} 


Close adminfunctions.php

Open global.php (you can put it also in the user.php in the admin directory on the top, but i used it for other hack parts too, so i needed it global) and add to the top, after the <?php this part:

PHP Code:

$gender_array = array(  "Undisclosed"  => "0",
                        "Female"       => "1",
                        "Male"         => "2"); 


This will help a lot later on...
SAve it and close it.

Open admin/user.php

These are for the edit part of the users...
Find:

PHP Code:

makeinputcode("Yahoo Messenger Handle","yahoo",$user[yahoo],0); 


Paste after it:

PHP Code:

makeselectcode("Gender","gender",$gender_array,$user[gender]); 


Now these are for adding users over the control panel:
Find

PHP Code:

makeinputcode("Yahoo Messenger Handle","yahoo"); 


Paste after:

PHP Code:

makeselectcode("Gender","gender",$gender_array); 


So much for the interface. Now we need to make sure your data gets saved!

Find:

PHP Code:

$userid=$DB_site->insert_id(); 


In the line before THIS, search for options,birthday and add ",gender" to it without the "" of course. Now go to the very end of the line. There it looks like '$birthday')"); wich you change now to '$birthday','$gender')");
Ok, new users are set, now the edits.

Search with your editor for this part:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='$birthday' 


Found this, go to the very end of the line.
You read there something like that:

PHP Code:

$pmpopup=1,pmpopup,'$pmpopup') WHERE userid=$userid"); 


Change it to this:

PHP Code:

$pmpopup=1,pmpopup,'$pmpopup'),gender='$gender' WHERE userid=$userid"); 


Save it, upload the files, and you are finished. You can instantly start to edit users, or add new ones with the gender hack. I tested this on 2.2.1 as the hack before, both on an new installed test board and on an already pretty heavy hacked one.

If you got questions, mail me.

I'm new to VB (a recent UBB convert) with my board being only 4 days old on VB, but I am having a ball installing all the hacks.

This hack here is fantastic.

I want to thank Simon for his admin add-on hack to the gender hack.

Just one note: when you modify the global.php file for Simon's admin hack, it is the admin/global.php file, not the root global.php file. It was a bit confusing as Simon specified the admin/ subdirectory for the other files, but not for the global.php file.

The gender hack works well with the admin add-on. Well done people!

Whoops...yeah, the one in the Postbit section. I'm amazed you're the first person to notice that! Sorry about that!

yea well glad ur sorry but where do we go?

[Sadie Frost]

I put it in the postbit in the postbit section

DelusionalMind - worked fine with my expand/collapse hack

maverick1236 - Do you have the expand/collapse hack installed? If so, you need to put the $genderimage twice in the postbit - once in the "plusimg" part and once in the "minusimg" part. It took me forever to figure out that was what I was doing wrong!
