Zodiac Sign in the Postbit & elsewhere

Credits
- Alan @ CIT for developing this mod initally
- This thread for requesting this concept.

What does this do?
If the user has their birthday set then this will display their Zodiac Sign on the postbit & memberinfo.

Installation
Install the attached Product XML as normal, then add the following to the Postbit template AND the Memberinfo template (if you want it to appear there).

<if condition="$show['zodiacsign']">
<div class="smallfont">$zodiacsign</div>
</if>

You can put this anywhere you like in the Postbit template. The users zodiac sign will be displayed whereever you put it.

Options
This mod comes with 2 options. They can be found in vBulletin Options, under Zodiac Signs.

The first one turns displaying of the zodiac sign on and off, and the second one adds a prefix of "Zodiac Sign: " to the users sign.

1. Is this fully phrased? I'm AAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL over it if it is (I have a forum for astronomy stuff on my forums ). If not PLEASE PLEASE can you phrase it? Multi-language forums will be very grateful (ahem!)

2. Microsoft's site actually has free animated gifs (and regular ones) for all the constellations/zodiac. believe it or not...some are actually pretty good.

settinggroup_cit_zodiacsign

I'll take a look at the Microsoft link, thanks

[Alan @ CIT]

Unfortunatly, I cannot use the images from the Microsoft link you provided - their Licence Agreement for the images states that I cannot re-distribute them.

I may just add the ability to use images, and let the forum admin provide them. That could be easier.

[alexdelli]

Eccolo qua:

Bug#2: A member with the birthdate 25 November 1988 gets a Zodiac sign of " " (null). I may trace code later, if someone else doesn't.

Thanks FF!

Excellent. I will click Install even though I can't use it in its current form.

The minimum I'd need to use would be the option to specify either sun sign or ascendant or both. Some of my members would also want to see Chinese horoscope and other systems as well but the sun/ascendant option would be a great start for me. And images, of course.
