different "stars" based on gender

[charlottezweb]

My board suggested that they would like the stars for the different posting levels to be colorized based on gender (instead of enabling the sex symbols).  How difficult would that be to mod or integrate?

I managed to get yabbse to recognise the difference between male and female gods (gods and godesses) automatically but I don't know about SMF though.
It would be nice if it did

probably you'll only need to edit a few lines of code in the source
example in YSE:
edit Load.php, search for

Code Select Expand

    /* create the memberinfo and memberstars entries */add before:

Code Select Expand

   if ($userprofile[$user]['gender'] == 'Female')
      $memberstar = 'f-star.gif';
   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['gender'] == 'Male')
      $memberstar = 'm-star.gif';
   else
      $memberstar = 'star.gif';
then just replace every star.gif in the lines below it with $memberstar

Woah, that was pretty straightforward, thanks!  I'll give that a try tonight or tomorrow and let you know if that works (on my YSE install at least).

Thanks,

I'm getting this error:

Fatal error: Cannot use assign-op operators with overloaded objects nor string offsets in /home/*******/public_html/yabbse/Sources/Load.php on line 404

here's the code I used from your instructions -- maybe I made a stupid error?

if ($userprofile[$user]['gender'] == 'Female')
      $memberstar = 'f-star.gif';
   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['gender'] == 'Male')
      $memberstar = 'm-star.gif';
   else
      $memberstar = 'star.gif';



   /* create the memberinfo and memberstars entries */

   if ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $GodPostNum)

   {

      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[6]";

      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";

   }

   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $SrPostNum)

   {

      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[5]";

      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";

   }

   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $FullPostNum)

   {

      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[4]";

      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";

   }

   elseif ($userprofile[$user]['posts'] > $JrPostNum)

   {

      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[3]";

      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" /><img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";

   }

   else

   {

      $memberinfo[$user] = "$membergroups[2]";

      $memberstar[$user] = "<img src=\"$memberstar\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*\" />";

   }

All I did was replace wherever the star.gif was with the function.  Is there something wrong with my syntax?

Thanks,
Jason

I think it might be because you are using $memberstar as both an array and as a string.
