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]

Please look. It messed up my postbit_legacy and I know for sure I added them all right.

[peterska2]

what version are you running?

You can either drop the $vbphrase from your template or move the code to before the IM icons.

[Chadi]

I just installed it 15 minutes ago so latest version.

Please tell me where "before the IM icons"? I don't want to mess up. I'm not exactly pro on coding so I just want to make sure. Thanks

[peterska2]

in your postbit_legacy template

FIND

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>

ADD ABOVE

<if condition="$post[fieldx]"><div>$vbphrase[gender]&nbsp<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[fieldx].gif" alt="$post[fieldx]" /></div></if>

Make sure you change the x's to the field number on your site.

It keeps trying to show the country flags instead of male/female image. Why is that?

[Chadi]

This is the code portion:

	<if condition="$show['reputation']"><div><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: $post[reppower]</if>$post[reputationdisplay]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field7]"><div>$vbphrase[gender]&nbsp<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[field7].gif" alt="$post[field7]" /></div></if>

[peterska2]

make sure that field 7 is your gender profile field. if it is wanting to show the flags then it is the wrong number so go back into your profile field manager and get the correct field number.
