I wouldn't really say that needs fixing, however if your reffering to say $_POST['gender'] working and $gender not working then you need to run the variables through the globalize() function, take alook at it in functions.php and how vB's file use it. I assume thats the issue, but I haven't looked at your code yet

I also asume if this is just a straight forward port you have the origional authors permission?

I'm trying to figure it out, but for the life of me, I can't seem to. It could be the 2 hours of sleep in 72 hours, or it's just not there.

It's not really as easy as just "adding" one...you have to make multiple changes. You also would have to have a male and female version of your new pets, otherwise you'll have a broken image in your postbit. If you're still interested, let me know and I'll type it all out. In future versions I'll include a guide to adding new pets...possibly even a way to add them through the Admin CP

Yes that is indeed what I'm refering too...I'll take a look in functions.php. Thanks!

Yep. I actually just got done talking to Ember (original Pet hack creator).

Good googly moogly...I just read almost all 3600 lines of functions.php and still can't figure out exactly where to put what. Any ideas?

[NTLDR]

Instead of:

PHP Code:

//##### Begin vB3 Pets #####    
$pettype = $_POST['pettype'];
$petgender = $_POST['petgender'];
$petname = $_POST['petname'];
//##### End vB3 Pets ##### 


Use:

PHP Code:

//##### Begin vB3 Pets #####    
globalize($_POST, array(
    'pettype' => INT,
    'petgender' => INT,
    'petname' => STR_NOHTML
));
//##### End vB3 Pets #####

So I don't need to worry about functions.php now?

[NTLDR]

The globalize function is in functions.php which will be required already, so its just that block you need.

Depends on how much other people wanna help out . But the first order of business is to get this out of Beta, which I hope will be later today. And then after that I'll begin work on some new features.

lol i would say i would help but.......... im over worked has it is with a number of things plus a full time job lol.

one prob i found you got a missing img for when someone has no pet, also it might be better if it all the pet info dont show in a user's postbit who dont have a pet.

I get a parse error on 'petgender' => INT...it says expecting `')''....
