[MOD] Select country and gender with gif when register

[ascanio]

There are some MODs similar to this one in the forum but I found them confusing and I don't get them to work. This one it is really easy to install.

This MOD will allow to your users to select a Country and a gender when they Register. But if u don't do the step 3 it your user will have the option to select the country and the gender and the show that in their profiles.
If you just want one of these features either Select Country or Select Gender just do what it is after this words.

ok, here you have finished, if you just have installed your gallery 4images and u don't have to much member your are fine
But if u have a lot member registered and u want to show a defualt country and gender then u can run these SQL query:

For Gender Select this will show all the users as Males if u change the 'm' for a 'w' it will show the female symbol

Code: [Select]

UPDATE 4images_users SET user_gender = 'm'
For Country Select

Code: [Select]

UPDATE 4images_users SET user_country = 'your default country'

Upload all the files to your server, and the gif to templates/<your template>/images

That's it!!.

Hi ascanio.

Nice Mod, but by "Kontrolcenter" is always "Afghanistan" marked.

[ascanio]

You can do this:

Find:

Code: [Select]

<select name="user_country">
<option value="Afganistan">Afghanistan</option>Replace:

Code: [Select]

<select name="user_country">
<option value="">Please select a country</option>
<option value="Afganistan">Afghanistan</option>


[sicarius]

HI, thanks for fast reply

but I mean,

If you have save the country to each user(for example slovenia).
And the User go to "Control Panel" he will see "Afganistan".
(In mysql is the correct country data saved)


Greets Sicarius

[ascanio]

And the User go to "Control Panel" he will see "Afganistan".

That's because it is the first option but what users seeon his profile? Afganistan or the country the he or she seleted?

[sicarius]

Hi,

That's what I thought would happened actually. The only way I resolved this problem in the past was by implementing V@no's MOD where the additional user fields has been re-worked and expanded in the routines. Hopefully, it is still available in the new forum for you guys.

Now, the reason why the information is not being entered correctly is because there are no query that specifies a NULL statement for this MOD.

Hi i'm going to update this MOD, that was happening to me also but I repair it! with the  [MOD] Dropdown options for custom database fields, if you go there u will see my discusion with V@no and maybe u can figure out what I did, I will post the modification that i did in a moment

[JensF]

I don´t understand this. My Bad English

I have install the Mod Dropdown options for custom database fields....

[TheOracle]

[MOD] Dropdown options for custom database fields

That's the one I was talking about. Thanks for clarifying this.

I have install the Mod Dropdown options for custom database fields....

If so, then only this field would need to be modified :

$additional_user_fields['user_country'] = array($lang['user_country'], "text", 1);

[JensF]

I have change this

Code: [Select]

$additional_user_fields['user_country'] = array($lang['user_country'], "text", 1);to this

Code: [Select]

$additional_user_fields['user_country'] = array($lang['user_country'], "text", 0);
Now the Country Field is not required yet. OK, thats good. But when a User change here profile they must on every time select the country new while in this field is the text "Select a country".

I want this: I select a country and save. Now i go the next time to my profile and will edit ist i will see in the country field my selected country.

But now i see "Select a country" when i visit in the next time my profile to edit it.....

Oh God, i hope you understand me....

[V@no]

seems like u didnt update the database:

First: Open phpMyAdmin and create a new column called user_country inside of 4images_users I used tipe varchar (255).

[ascanio]

I have change this

Code: [Select]

$additional_user_fields['user_country'] = array($lang['user_country'], "text", 1);to this
