Gender Equality for 2.0.*

[Beowulf1976]

In the interests of gender equality...


Is anyone interested/able to create a mod for 2.0.* giving members the option to select "other" as their gender?


I have this image I made for the purpose.


Would LOVE for someone to create the mod so that our wonderful members can choose "other" if they are not specifically male, or female.


For gender equality, if nothing else.

I'd use custom profile fields - work pretty well.

I did it! I changed intersexed to "other" and provided my gif for it.

Using this:

Actually, this mod
https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2152

will almost install on 2.0.13, if you emulate "SMF 2.0 RC2" (no quotes)
the only failure is in Load.php for the image
The fix?
Install the mod and then make this specific change

Code (in Load.php, find) Select Expand


      'image' => !empty($profile['gender']) ? '<img class="gender" src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . ($profile['gender'] == 1 ? 'Male' : 'Female') . '.gif" alt="' . $gendertxt . '" />' : ''
   

Code (replace with ) Select Expand


      'image' => !empty($profile['gender']) ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $genderimg . '" alt="' . $gendertxt . '" border="0" />' : ''



the nice thing about this mod is that it becomes fairly easy to change or add the choices -- just change the case statements as were added (see below) and then add additional images for each representation

            case 5:
                $gendertxt = $txt['intersexed'];

                break;

            case 2:
                $gendertxt = $txt['female'];

                $genderimg = 'Male.gif';
