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.

Changelog
Version 1.2: Fixed a typo in a phrase name
Version 1.1: Fixed a bug and added profile support
Version 1.0: Initial Release

As usual, any comments / suggestions / questions / complaints, please let me know

On-going Development
- Chinese Zodiac
- Basic versus Advanced style Babylonian Zodiac Sun Sign
- Babylonian Zodiac Moon Sign
- Babylonian Zodiac Ascendant Sign
[I]Update: Tinkering along slowly. New goal: March 1st./I]

I got a problem and I'm posting my problem! If someone wants to help me out they will, I'm not harassing the author just the instruction that I follow didn't give me the end results.

Master: Sorry, I don't know what to tell you - it appears to be working ok for everyone else who has installed it, and as you can see from the screenshots, it worked ok for me.

All I can suggest is either moving the template edit to another position, make sure that the user(s) you are testing it with have their birthdays set, and if all else fails, uninstall it all and start again.

Psionic Vision: Thanks, I do try and keep my code clean, commented and tidy. I usuauly fail, but I do try

[Mastar]

Thanks will try again.

@Alan @ CIT:

Here's the modification that I've made to your product. I am not using the version of your plugin that shows in memberinfo; just the old one that showed in postbit. It now displays zodiac signs as I described. Cuspers get "Sagittarius-Capricorn Cusp" and everyone else gets something like "Leo III". The word "Cusp" is not in the lang. I have this product installed and working on a production-level board; there are no bugs with it.

Cheers :nervous:

P.S.
In the phrases, the word "Sagitarious" is spelled wrong. It should be"Sagittarius".

edit#2 (uploaded wrong version of file; corrected.)

[Mastar]

My appologies I forgot to enter my b'date, how can't I make the Phrase bold text?

Is this right?? :

<!-- ZODIAC SIGN -->
     $vbphrase[Zodiac_sign]:<br />
<if condition="$show['zodiacsign']">
<div class="smallfont">$zodiacsign</div>
</if>
<!-- ZODIAC SIGN -->

Never mind I edited the phrase.

Nice one. I'm curious, would the Roman numeral thing a convention most people might recognize?

Only genuine PhD astrologers & ubergeek amataeurs would recognize it.

P.S.
I will be adding options for:
- Chinese Zodiac
- Basic versus Advanced style Babylonian Zodiac Sun Sign (this is the one that we are used to)
- Babylonian Zodiac Moon Sign
- Babylonian Zodiac Ascendant Sign

These will appear in memberinfo & the postbit. I won't have this done for a couple of weeks, but it is coming.

Hows about images for them , like cancer (crab)
