Location and age not seen on SMF 1.1.1

[harunyam]

Hello,

Although they are entered, age, location and gender are not seen below the name of the member as before after upgrading to 1.1.1.

Is there a mod to show these or is there an option at admin side which I missed?

Thanks,

HArun

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

Now, on to your problem... The problem here is that the age, location and gender aren't shown by default. To show the gender, go into the admin panel, and go to the Current Theme section. Tick the Show gender images in message view box.
The birthday and location are a bit harder (we need to edit the template), but it isn't too hard . Open your Themes/default/Display.template.php file, and find:

Code Select Expand


// Show the member's gender icon?
if (!empty($settings['show_gender']) && $message['member']['gender']['image'] != '')
echo '
', $txt[231], ': ', $message['member']['gender']['image'], '<br />';


Add after:

Code Select Expand


loadLanguage('Profile');
// Show the member's birthday
if ($message['member']['birth_date'] != '')
echo '
', $txt[563], ': ', $message['member']['birth_date'], '<br />';

// Show the member's location
if ($message['member']['location'] != '')
echo '
', $txt[227], ': ', $message['member']['location'], '<br />';


Showing the member's age rather than their birthdate is a bit harder still, but can be done. Since the age isn't defined by default (it isn't passed to the template), we need to edit a source file. Open Load.php, and find:

Code Select Expand


'local_time' => timeformat(time() + ($profile['timeOffset'] - $user_info['time_offset']) * 3600, false),
);


Add after:

Code Select Expand


if (!empty($profile['birthdate']) && $profile['birthdate'] !== '0001-01-01') {
list ($birth_year, $birth_month, $birth_day) = sscanf($profile['birthdate'], '%d-%d-%d');
$datearray = getdate(forum_time());
$memberContext[$user] += array(
'age' => $birth_year <= 4 ? $txt[470] : $datearray['year'] - $birth_year - (($datearray['mon'] > $birth_month || ($datearray['mon'] == $birth_month && $datearray['mday'] >= $birth_day)) ? 0 : 1)
);
}


Then, back in Themes/default/Display.template.php, find the bit you put that displays the birthday:

Code Select Expand


// Show the member's birthday
if ($message['member']['birth_date'] != '')
echo '
', $txt[563], ': ', $message['member']['birth_date'], '<br />';


Replace it with:

Code Select Expand


// Show the member's age
if (isset($message['member']['age']))
echo '
', $txt[420], ': ', $message['member']['age'], '<br />';


If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask

Hi

Wow, that's crazy! I'm a new smf-user... is it really not possible to show age and location by default? Unbelievably! I hope in next version it is possible!

It's not done by default, as some people don't like it being displayed next to their posts. I personally see it as irrevelant data (if I really want to see a user's location and age, I'd view their profile). The good thing about SMF is its templating system allows you to modify how things are displayed, to suit you

[mohoganybrwn]

Thank you. This worked beautifully.

[Daniel15]

I've made this code into a mod, which you may find at http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=638

[babjusi]

Thank u for this mod Daniel15. I will install it in my forum as well

[bigfish]

Daniel,

Thanks for the mod I used on one of my boards.   

My other board has many older gals and they do not want to see their ages.  Could modify your mod and release a version that only adds the location.     

Many thanks.   

[klra]

Thank you very much for this excellent mod!

Aren't shown by default the age, location and gender.
Why ?
I have smf 1.1.2
Language italian

[Matthew Schenker]

I have a silly question...

If the age, gender, and location don't have a default option for displaying them, what's the point of having members enter this information at all?

I agree with those who say administrators should have the option of whether to display this information or not.

It's viewable in their profile

I agree with those who say administrators should have the option of whether to display this information or not.

We're already working on this for SMF 2.0 - All the fields displayed will be customisable

Is it possible to display on user profiles on every post Date when they are registred ? I've seen this on phpbb forums...Any simple explination is welcome! Thanks...

And yes...one more thing. Im using SMF 1.1.13 and when i install this mod it's showing me 2 times in user profiles location and age....So it doubles everything...

[wolverine32]

were haveing the same problem. were trying to get the location to work. but i can't find the place were to add the code. were just wanting to add the location. i hope this is easyer to do than both. someone please say they can help. thanks i downloaded the mod but were do i install it at? thanks

To install a mod upload it to the Packages folder either using an FTP client or the Package Manager. It will then be listed in the Package Manager with a link to install it.

To add just the location, in Display.template.php of the default theme or the theme you're using, find:

Code Select Expand

// Is karma display enabled?  Total or +/-?


And above it add:

Code Select Expand

// Show location
if (!empty($message['member']['location']))
echo '
', $txt[227], ': ', $message['member']['location'], '<br />';

Whr do I enable the feature?

[albannach]

Hi,

I'm trying to install this mod, but I can't find the code shown either below, or on the actual mod page.

I'm using the 'Babylon' theme (1.1).  Does anyone know what code I need to find, to insert the mod code ?

Using SMF 1.1.4.

Thanks for any assistance you guys can offer.

Cheers,
Chris.

Welcome to SMF.

Chris, did you try using this mod already? You just need to make one manual edit after you install the mod. The instruction is listed on the page and the code to look for IS in the Babylon theme (I checked).

Yeah, uploaded and installed the package, then I tried editing the themes    display.template.php    file from within SMF, copied it into notepad and done a 'find' on the code the instructions suggest to insert the mod after... was unable to find it :s

I'll try checking the actual PHP file via FTP later and hopefully find it that way.

Cheers,
Chris.
