Can you post the code on here please? Please also include some code before and after it.

Could you also confirm which version you are using?


Many Thanks,

Welshy.

Installed and it works, just one thing. Under the username it says "gender". I want to change this into dutch, but it doesn't seem to work. I translated all "gender" prases that i could find in "phrase manager" but it still remains "gender" What should i do?

Gender = "geslacht" in dutch.

Here you go:

<!-- Wy Gender in postbit Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Geslacht:</dt> <dd><img src="http://WWW.YOUR FORUMADDRESS.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.

Thank you, but it's a bilingual forum. So i need it in different languages. Am using Dutch and Turkish, sorry i wasn't too clear about this.. That's why i wanted to use phrase manager per se...

In step 2 i had to add a phrase, so i thought i could change it via the phrase manager..

Dutch: Geslacht
Turkish: Cinsiyet

marked as installed though

What about getting rid of the "Gender:" and Just having a flag show on your Postbit or Postbit_Legacy?

I installed this earlier on my vb4 forum but now I would like to install it on my vbulletin 3.8.4 forum, how can I make this work?

Can you or anyone change the following code to work with 3.8.4 and tell me where to paste?

thanks

<!-- 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 -->
