Code:

<!-- Wy Gender in postbit Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Gender:</dt> <dd><img src="http://WWW.YOUR FORUM
ADDRESS.COM/images/misc/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.gif" alt="" /></dd></vb:if>
<!-- Wy Gender in postbit End -->

• Replace the TWO Green ‘X’s with the field number in Step One (1).
• Replace the Red Text with YOUR forum address.

How's that?


With regard to the position, Your layout looks different to the vB standard layout. It is a matter of moving the code around to suit.

That is coorrect. And when your members go and edit their profile, they will have to update their Gender Bit.

You could start a thread on your forum explaining about the new feature and that you would like everyone to update their profiles.

It's a pitty that there wasn't a mod that you could have that forces everyone to update their profiles. (would be great for times like this). And if they don't update their profiles when prompted, they will not be able to view the forums. Good Idea or 'overboard'? YOu decide

I put the gender symbol in that empty space between userinfo and userstats.

Find in postbit:

<vb:if condition="$post['userid']">
<div class="userinfo_extra">

and add the following above:

<div style="float:left; font-size:24px;">
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] == 'Male'">
♂
<vb:elseif condition="$post['fieldx'] == 'Female'" />
♀
</vb:if>
</div>

I test specifically for male/Female as I give my members a third option: "None of your business".

Not on this version you haven't. I redone the code and released it - exactly the same as the other guys before me on differing versions.

But - maybe you should have released it?

Anyway, This time last year (And still am on a lot of mods etc) grateful for what people have done, when I am unable to do them myself.


And that is what it is all about.


I bid you a good day.
