Simple Zodiac Hack

Ok, I know its been a while, but I finally fixed up the code for this, now it all works well and its all template driven, sorry for all the errors with the old code, this was one of my first hacks I ever made and my skills improved since then.

Heres what this hack does:
It gets the users chinese and astrological zodiac from the user's birthday and also gets the users current age where you then can display it in there profile.

The zip below contains the new install instructions and also a zodiac_templates.php file to install all the templates for you (Theres one for each chinese and astrological zodiac).

I tested this pretty well and it works fine, but if some how you get an error or it doesnt work, please post about it and this time ill fix it asap.

Enjoy the hack, also like all my other hacks, if you use this on your forum, all I ask of you is to click the install button, thank you.

Also, if for some reason your getting an old version of this zip, try clearing your cache first and then download it, also right clicking on it and choosing save as might work as well.

Ok, I've narrowed it down to this: If you enter a full bithdate prior to December 31, 1969, it shows that date in your profile no matter what it is set to in your profile options. If you don't enter a year, it shows the correct day and month. But no matter what you enter or what it shows, the Userage, Zodiac Sign and Chinese Zodiac sign do not show up in the user's profile. Is there going to be any fix for this or do we need to un-install it?

Slynderdale FYI:

The hack instruction is not correct:
a) The text that should be replaced points the wrong section: You ask to replace the text in editprofile section, where it should be the part "getinfo" and the replacement text is wrong either.
b) The text that you ask to be replaced has mistakes. There are some parts which are inrelevant and should not be added and the parts that needs to be inserted has other mistakes too.
c) Some of the images the hack points is not included in the instructions. (like $chinesezodiacimage)

I dont use this hack, just tried to install for a friend and discovered these points. The hack cant work with the provided instructions and it requires a lot of modifications. Just wanted to let you know..

Slynderdale,

Since you seem to no longer be supporting this hack, I will be releasing a working version shortly. The code you had (like Logocian said) had many mistakes which is why I could never get it it work right on my board. Also, your Chinese Zodiavc sign should actually be Ox instead of Buffalo. Just thought you should know. Thanks for steering me in the right direction, though.

[Slynderdale]

Its works fine for me and the boards I tested it on, send me your member.php file and ill see if you added it the right spot.

It's showing up in the profile but not in the postbit. Also i'm an OX and that surprises me because i'm a rat.
