would he/she be forced to choose ?

[JayBachatero]

No but you can make it be required.

[fasterthanyours]

Can you make a mod or is there a mod for requiring Location?

[JayBachatero]

There is a Tip & Tricks about it I believe.  I know it was asked for many many times before..

[desistyle]

[JayBachatero]

Yes it should work for RC3.

In Register.template.php Find and remove

Code Select Expand


<input type="radio" name="gender" value="0" checked="checked" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" /> ', $txt[470], '<br />


[dustydogge]

In Register.template.php Find and remove

Code Select Expand


<input type="radio" name="gender" value="0" checked="checked" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" /> ', $txt[470], '<br />


Yes but that just removes the "N/A" option from the 3 options, leaving just "male" and "female" to be chosen. But with this code, if you choose neither the registration still goes ahead. What I mean was, can it be changed so that if the applicant doesn't make a choice out of the two, the registration does not complete? A popup giving an error and directing the applicant to choose one of them would be perfect.

[JayBachatero]

True.  It was just a quick fix.  You can make it that "female" is picked by default and that would make them change it .  I'll see what I can do about making it mandatory.

[dustydogge]

Hehe sure, thanks but I'd still prefer if they HAD to make a choice themselves. Sometimes, guys would pretend to be girls on the forum and I don't wanna help them out by pre-selecting "female" as the gender.

Please do let me know if you come up with something. Thanks.

[JayBachatero]

Ok I haven't tried this so not sure if it's going to work.  In Subs-Member.php

Code (find) Select Expand


// Setup the activation status on this new account so it is correct - firstly is it an under age account?
if ($regOptions['require'] == 'coppa')


Code (add before) Select Expand


// Make them pick a gender.
if (empty($regOptions['extra_register_vars']['gender']))
fatal_error('Please select a gender');


[dustydogge]

I assume that the Subs-Member.php you are talking about would be located in the Sourcesnew folder, since I upgraded to RC3.

After modifying it, there is no change....the registration still proceeds. No fatal errors.

[JayBachatero]

Yes that's the correct file.  I'll look into it tom and post something.

[rockinaway]

Update for 1.1?

[JayBachatero]

This mod should work in 1.1.

[rockinaway]

Ok

[internetbrother]

I can't upload it into my packagemanage it says

The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

[JayBachatero]

What version of SMF are you using?

[Xcat]

Compatible with 1.1.2?

[djpaddystudio7]

it is not compatible with 1.1.2 ...
i thought of doing the thing manually but the coding is diffrent from earlier versions . couldnt apply the mod the way it could be done in earlier versions.

anyways if someone suggests a modification for adding this thing then plz do tell me what i need to modify to get this too http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=134713.0

[JayBachatero]

Compatible with 1.1.2?

[RiderRaghav]

All that has happened is that another mod you have previously installed has altered the file that you have a fail on...this mod has found that the file is different from what it is set to edit. The resolution for all such fails is to do a manual installation of the mod.

I tried to install it manually but still I'm getting the same error .... What should I do

Any help would be appreciated ......

[TrueSatan]

The error you reported was a fail in the package manager so I don't see how you can have the same error if you are trying a manual installation...please follow the instructions in the link I gave you previously.

[LadyC]

any chance you could add little gender icons that would appear under a person's name when they post a message?

[TrueSatan]

@ LadyC

Such an function is not part of this mod.

[LadyC]

maybe someone will write such a mod one day soon.... i hope!
