More Gender Options?

[Astrophel]

Hullo! I was wondering if anyone would be willing and able to create a plugin that adds more options to the "Gender" profile field. I realize that it would be impossible for this to work during registration, but I think that it would still be great if my members could change to the gender they actually are after joining. I already have a thread up explaining how to remove gender from one's profile, but not everyone is content with just that. Something that removes Proboards' pre-existing gender field (so that it could be replaced by a custom field) would also work. c:

seems like you could just remove the gender display from the profile/mp templates and instead have it show a custom profile field you have setup.

I dont think a plugin is necessary to move anything, just let the tmeplate editor do the work for you. I will move this over to template requests.

Ah. Whoops, sorry about putting this in the wrong category!

Actually, knowing that it could be edited through the template, I managed to do it. Thank you for the offer, though! :>

no worries from me. just wanted to speed things up on your end.

[Meraxes]

Would someone be willing to post how to do so for those of us not as template savvy?

[Boy_Wonder]

Yep I would be. This is how I did it and includes hiding the proboards default gender display. It requires use of custom fields.

So step 1 -
Go to your ACP (Admin Control Panel), and go to custom fields and create a new custom field called Gender Options or anything else (Not JUST Gender though as it'll get hidden too). This should be a drop down selection. By clicking view/edit you can add in all the options you wish by typing in the text boxes as they appear.

Step 2 - Go to templates, miniprofile and copy and paste this:


{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
       {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Gender Options"}Gender: $[user.mini_custom_field.value]
{/if}
{/foreach}


This will show the Gender Options, and its advised you place it where proboards currently shows gender.

Step 3 -
Go to User Profile Templates, Summary and you'll be doing the same code again, almost. It's changed slightly.


{foreach $[user.custom_field]}
       {if $[user.custom_field.name] == "Gender Options"}Gender: $[user.custom_field.value]
{/if}
{/foreach}

Again though copy that code and paste it in, again preferably where gender shows to replace it.

Step 4 -

You need to go to your global headers and footers and paste this code in the headers


<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if(proboards.data('route').name == "edit_user_personal"){
   $('.edit-user label').each(function(){
       if($(this).text() == "Gender") {
           $(this).hide();
           $(this).next().hide();
           $(this).next().next().hide();
           $(this).next().next().next().hide();
}});}});
</script>


This will hide the proboards default gender selection in the edit profile screen leaving only your own.

How do you get the gender to show up on as an image?

Example: User selects my new "Undisclosed Gender", but in the profile and mini profile, it shows up as an image

[Boy_Wonder]

That I'm afraid I don't know - as I've used just the text

[Brian]

To use an image you can use this inside the if statement in step 3 of Boy_Wonder's instructions.

{if $[user.custom_field.value] == "gender name here"}
<img src="URL TO IMAGE">
{/if}

[Boy_Wonder]

Brian - the problem with that is how would a normal member know which one to select out of the images if that makes sense while still enabling the code to grab the image url

None of the codes specified in this thread are going to change the dropdown from text to images. They'll be selecting text in the dropdown while what displays in the mini-profile is an image representative of that dropdown choice similar to the default gender dropdown.

Just a slight question, does this hide the gender sign in the mini profile? Since you have to hide the default settings?

[Boy_Wonder]

You would have to replace the gender display code with the appropriate foreach code to show just that custom field in the mini profile and profile

[nekobot]

How would we go about hiding the gender sign, in detail?

Also,
 why does it show the gender option twice?
