Is there a mod that makes people choose gender at registration? I have a couple of forums which one is for men and one for women.

You can do this the same way you do custom profile fields, using something like:

<input type="radio" name="gender" value="0" checked="checked" /> Leave it to the imagination<br />
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="1" /> Male<br />
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="2" /> Female<br />

In the Register template.

Where in there do I put this?

Where ever you want the option to appear .

For example, if you wanted it after the password, you'd find:

Code: [Select]

</tr><tr>
<td width="40%">
<b>', $txt[82], ':</b>
</td>
<td>
<input type="password" name="passwrd2" size="30" />
</td>
</tr>
Add after that:

Code: [Select]

</tr><tr>
<td width="40%">
<b>Gender:</b>
</td>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="0" checked="checked" /> Leave it to the imagination<br />
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="1" /> Male<br />
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="2" /> Female<br />
</td>
</tr>
If you're not comfortable with HTML, I suggest you look at the tutorials on www.w3schools.com .

Of course you can ask questions in these topics (like you just did) just don't post new topics in this board that are questions.

thanks for this post!  i find this very useful.  it's also a good way for me to learn the PHP language, looking at how they modify things in the board, slowly and piece by piece.

Register.template.php located in /Themes/default folder.

Can i use this with 7dana theme too ?

[JayBachatero]

Well check in the themes folder and check if it inclused a file called Register.template.php  if not just editing the one in the default theme will carry on for all other templated that do not include a custom template.

You're welcome.

Sir sorry to bug u again and again i dont know if it works coz when i try to register a new account it says

An Error Has Occurred!
You are not allowed to access this section

[JayBachatero]

Because you can only register once every 30 minutes.  What you can do is use different browsers to test it out.

Is there a way to automatically redirect to the profile page after registering?

If I have "registration activation" enabled, could I also link the activation to the profile page?
