Astrological Signs

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This hack adds the astrological sign of any user who has provided at least the month and date of their birth. It can be updated retroactively for all your current board members, and it works automatically for any new users. It displays the sign next to the user's birthday in their public profile, and between the Online Status icon and the Profile button in every post they make.

This was requested and beta-tested by synx. It was in beta for approximately 5 minutes, which is what I think we should shoot for around here. (Before I get flamed, I'm JOKING! ). He also created the icons that are used in it. I can, however, assure you that I wrote all of the code, which is somewhat more than I can say for my star hack. Then I saw Marl's star hack, where he basically released Freddie's star hack as his, and I felt better, because I changed the code more than that. (Sorry, Marl, but I call em like I see em! )

If you installed my star hack, there are certain instructions in this that are different. Watch out for them, as it may mean the difference between it working and you posting here.

Without further ado, here it is. The instructions are, again, too long for posting, so they're in the zip file (sign.txt).

For version: 2.0.1

Files needed: mysql.php

Files to edit: member.php, register.php, showthread.php, admin/misc.php

Templates to create/edit: postbit_sign, postbit

Instructions are in the zip file.

Once again, PLEASE back everything up before installing this, as it does edit the user table.

PLEASE follow the directions exactly. There are some steps that, if they aren't followed in the right order, may screw up your board.

FEEDBACK WANTED! Likes/dislikes/modification requests all gladly accepted.

PLEASE DO NOT PM me or contact me via AIM or email me for help with this hack. I WILL see your post here and try to help you. Thanks!

Enjoy!

Any ideas? Thanks

Which file did you use? If you used mind the one right above your post send me your member.php file and I will look at it. If you did not download my zip and compare the changes I made to the ones you made.

I used the one just above...

How do I send it to you?

Thanks
