Gender Bit: Show gender symbol next to username in postbits and many other places
Developer Last Online: Jul 2014 
This modification is in the archives.
My first public mod. Please be kind to me
 Description: Gender Bit shows gender symbol next to username in postbits. See "prerequisite" and "Installation guide" below. Features:
Prerequisite: A custom user profile field designated for members' gender must be manually created in user profile field manager. If your forum does not already have one and you have no idea how to create it, please read included README.txt for instructions. Download guide:
Installation guide:
Same as installation, with the only difference is to tick the "Overwrite" checkbox when importing the product xml). Also, you would need to check the options page (Admin CP > vBulletin Options > Gender Bit) for any new settings. Uninstallation guide: To uninstall simply uninstall the product from AdminCP product manager. Optionally delete the images and xml files: /images/misc/gender_*.gif /images/misc/unknown_*.gif /includes/xml/bitfield_genderbit*.xml Changelogs: Version 1.0 - Initial version Version 1.0.1 - Replaced align="absmiddle" with CSS to pass XHTML validation - Extra image sets for male/female with a new option in vB Options to choose which set to use Version 1.0.2 - Fixed php errors in private messages and a few other places - New: Option to show gender symbol in memberlist - New: Gender Bit can now take care of default profile pictures and friends' avatar to show default male/female avatar - New: Exposes a globally-scoped function genderbit_getgender($registry, $userinfo, $unknown='') that returns 'male', 'female' or $unknown. The three parameters are:
- Major revamps. - Added: a lots more places where the gender symbols will appear, with options to turn each one of them on/off in vBulletin Options - Added: the third gender for those who think two genders are not enough. - Changed: Gender Bit will only look for the images in forumdir/images/misc by default unless overridden in vBulletin Options. - Starting from this version, the handling of gender-aware default avatars and profile pictures have been separated into an extension product named "Gender Bit Extension". Gender Bit does NOT require Gender Bit Extension to operate but Gender Bit Extension REQUIRES Gender Bit. Note: Should also work in vB 3.6.x, but I haven't done any testing in that vB version. Troubleshooting (aka why aren't the symbols/images showing?) Step 1: In { AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Gendet Bit } check if you have configured "Field value: Male" and "Field value: Female" to match what your members would choose if they are male or female. If in your forum/language "Shalabadaba" means "male" and "Shubidubidu" means "female", enter Field value: Male = "Shalabadaba" and Field value: Female = "Shubidubidu". Just overwrite the default "Male" and "Female" in the textboxes. Step 2 (version 1.1.0 and above): Still in { AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Gendet Bit }. Try setting Gender symbols image set = "Text/Font" to see if the symbols appear. If it does then you forgot to upload the images into ALL /images/misc folders for ALL STYLES installed in your forum. Step 3: From your showthread pages, find the following part (page navigation):  Right-click on the down-pointing arrow and select "Properties" from the popup menu. Check the path to the file, usually in the form of "http://www.yoursite.net/forum/images/misc/menu_open.gif". The bolded part is the path of the misc images folder for your current style. If it says "http://www.yoursite.net/forum/images/yuppie/v4/misc/menu_open.gif" then upload the gender images into forum/images/yuppie/v4/misc/ Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

I just realized that in the normal postbit template (non-legacy), both options in the "Gender bit location in postbit" setting give the same result but if the forum uses postbit_legacy, the result will be different. I only tested it on postbit_legacy so I was not aware that that particular setting doesn't do much difference in normal postbit. All is good though.

First, do you already have a User Profile Field for gender (look in AdminCP > User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager). If you don't, create one by going to AdminCP > User Profile Fields > Add New User Profile Field. Select Profile Field Type = Single-selection Menu and click 'Continue'. On the next page put title, descriptions etc, but for the Options box, enter 'male' and 'female' text in your forum language. Save the new user profile field. Back in User Profile Field Manager, find the user profile field for gender that you created. Look at its 'Name' column, there should be 'fieldX' written there (where X is a number). In my forum it is 'field5' but it might be different in yours. Now go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Gender Bit and enter the 'fieldX' in the "User profile field name". Also configure the 'male' and 'female' values to match the texts you entered in the 'Options' box when creating the user profile field. That said, this addon will only give useful outputs if your members update the gender profile field. No members have liked this post.

Version 1.0.2 is up with many changes (see change logs)
A special note to other coders, version 1.0.2 exposes a globally-scoped function (refer changelogs) that your mod/plugin can call to get the user gender so that it is possible to build upon this mod. One nice idea for mod is the gender-aware phrase system that many have requested in this forum. Maybe I should stop looking at the code or else I won't stop adding features ...
