Sex limitation mod

[***Teh GodFather***]

I was wondering if there is some mod which can restrict males or females to access some parts of forum?

[karlbenson]

Not that I'm aware of

[Reclaimer]

why?

[karlbenson]

why there is no mod?

Its just no one has developed one. (as yet!)

This topic is in the right place though, Mod Requests.

[Reclaimer]

No, why would you want one?

[***Teh GodFather***]

I want to make part of forum just for males...

It is possible to make, but you do know that people will just switch their gender in profile to see what the other side is allowed to view.

[***Teh GodFather***]

I know that, that is the point, for people to seek knowlege about everything... This is some kind of psyho trap, if you understand what i mean...

[thomastbrown]

Err, May i ask you why you would ever need this? Unless for obvious reasons (porn for males) in which case is gross

this is true I mean the mod would not be worth making. I mean how many people would actualy use it and I mean really whats the point!

[Prasad007]

Not many people even bother to go to their profile and select their gender and set other options, after having made an account.

for what it's worth, I WAS BORN (apparently) WITH A "Sex Limitation Mod"

[***Teh GodFather***]

I would use it, and i am sure someone else would (mostly because it has word "sex"...)

But you are probably the only one that would use this, so if you're really desperate for a pointless mod then make it yourself!

I need it!!!
Read posts above, i explained why i need it...

While I don't have a personal need for this mod, I also agree that it would be a great idea.  There are forums where men and women would feel more comfortable in discussing gender specific issues if they knew a member of the opposite sex wasn't around.

Folks, don't critique the person for submitting a mod request like this.  I have asked for this capability before and think it is a great idea.  Why the OP needs it is of no concern to you.  Wouldn't it be more productive for everyone's time to move on if they have no interest in this, rather than sitting here, denigrating this idea?

[DJ Biscuit]

You could just make a males usergroup and a female usergroup, that way when a user is added to a group its inpossible for them to change

[elfishtroll]

It might be more productive......... but not as much fun!

He could probably get where he wants via the SEX ON REGISTRATION MOD  (no, its not as great as it sounds ) its just a mod that allows you to specify SEX (male or female) when registering.

he would also incorporate code from the MEMBERGROUP ON REGISTRATION MOD

I believe there is a mod that can make some profile fields mandatory on registration too.

next, he could create two membergroups then have a little script that moves members to the appropriate member group*
He will know which file to write to, by using the code in the MEMBERGROUP mod.

Finally, he can have some code that people can only change their member group if it is BLANK (to prevent people from doing sex changes all day)

sex changes. not to laugh at the idea but it does sound funny if it were real. how would u call that person? amphibious?

back to topic:
yeah, i think the membergroup is a good workaround if not specifying the gender in the profile. but then let's just hope there's no inconsistency where a person with a male gender is in the female membergroup.

[elfishtroll]

I think it would be "ambidextrous"?

you would, I think, still need a membergroup 'cause the SMF doesnt allow you to say "only allow this Profile Field=??? to enter this board"

however, you can do it by membergroup.

so generally, anything you want to do regarding the forums, member groups are the best way to go

Hermaphrodite, perhaps, but this is at a tangent to the OP. We can continue this in Chit Chat.

Good use!

[***Teh GodFather***]

I have Gender on registration mod allready installed...
Could anyone explain how to do that with membergroups?
Which files/codes to change/add?

[elfishtroll]

for the path I would use to implement this, you would need the MEMBERGROUP on REGISTRATION mod as well.


here is the overview.

Members specify their gender on signup
as a result, they are made members of the appropriate member group.

(second mod, profile edits)
every time a profile is edited, this code is run which moves the member to the appropriate membergroup.

at first I thought I would have no need for this, but typing it out, I see it could have special validity/utility  as a "PROFILE FIELD to MEMBERGROUP" type mod.. I'll give it some more thought!



*actually it would be transgender

OK, inform me when you finish via PM...
