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 use image from this hack.

<if condition="$post['birthday']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$zodiacsign.gif" alt="$zodiacsign" border="0" />
</if>

It is good in postbit.

but it cannot show in PM.

It cannot understand "$zodiacsign".

Could you help me?

- After the sign
(good for formatting)

e.g. standard english Gemini file = picture_gemini.png

Icons have to be named the same, just with "icon_" instead of "picture_"

Has anyone installed lightwave's version of this mod? I'd like to see it in action. Am I right in assuming we have to provie our own zodiac images for this new version?

Yup.. Thats right

I am no longer able to continue the work on this. If someone would like to take it over, drop me a pm or something.

[silkie]

I guess I"m doing something wrong as well. it does show up in my memberinfo but not in postbit. I saw someone else had this problem...did you ever get it figured out?

[Alan @ CIT]

Silkie: Try uninstalling it all and re-installing from scratch, that should solve the problem. Be sure to follow the instructions about editing the postbit template.

Thanks,
Alan.

Does this take leap year into account?

[Alan @ CIT]

Probably not, I didn't know the zodiac signs changed in leap years
