Show Gender In Postbit

This is nice and easy to install and simply shows a small icon next to the online status indicator to show the gender of the user.

The ZIP contains everything you need. There are two sets of images so you can choose your favorite.

I have circled the icons in the screenshot to enable you to see exactly where they are placed.


PLEASE NOTE: As mentioned in the instructions, the names of the images are case sensitive and so MUST be named exactly as you have defined them in the profile field.


Please click install if you have installed this.



Update 1.03: Added Memberlist images. Added instructions for non-standard languages. To upgrade download the upgrade 1.03 zip and follow instructions.

Update 1.02: Fixed an error in the code.

Update 1.01: Added image for undisclosed and changed instructions slighty to reflect this. To update download the 1.01 upgrade zip.

Update: I have added optional instructions to add Gender: before the image

[Note to mods] I have released for 3.0.x and 3.5.x even though it is identical as most people only look at the mods for their version.[/Note to mods]


Important information regarding support - 20/04/06
Due to time constraints and the amount of things that are being planned for future modifications, priority support will now be provided here. Support provided in this thread will be on an as and when basis.

Is there a way to get the gender image to appear before the username?

[peterska2]

Yes. Use this code as the replacement instead of what is in the instructions.

				<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
					<if condition="$show['profile']">
					<if condition="$post[fieldx]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[fieldx].gif" alt="$post[fieldx]" /></if>&nbsp;<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
					$post[onlinestatus]
					<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
					<else />
					<if condition="$post[fieldx]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[fieldx].gif" alt="$post[fieldx]" /></if>&nbsp;$post[musername]
					</if>
				</div>

Sorted this out for you.

Use this instead of the code in the install instructions.

<if condition="$post[fieldx] == 'Greek for Male'"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/male.gif" alt="$post[fieldx]"/></if><if condition="$post[fieldx] == 'Greek for Female'"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/female.gif" alt="$post[fieldx]" /></if><if condition="$post[fieldx] =='Greek for undisclosed'"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/undisclosed.gif" alt="post[fieldx]" /></if>

Place it in the postbit whereever you want it to show.




Update for everyone else, I'm still working on the bells and whistles version. As soon as it is finished I'll send out a memo letting you know.
