Solved Male and Female Icons

Greetings. I had this issue a long time ago and I solved it. The solution is a little complicated but let me try to guide you through it.

First of all, I haven't yet installed CB 1.2.2 and so I don't know what changes have been made, but this guide is based on my knowledge of CB 1.2.1 and so you may have to adapt it as necessary:

1. Using the CB Field Manager, create a new field named Gender (CB will store this as cb_gender)
2. Create the field as type "Drop Down (Single Select)". You will need to assign two named values: one will be Male, the other will be Female
3. Assign this new field to a CB profile tab
4. Modify a CB user profile (go to the tab that you assigned earlier) and click the appropriate radio button to select and assign a gender to the user)

CB and Kunena have enough "smarts" to use your custom-defined Gender field and the two values you've assigned in the cbsimpleboardtab plugin (as long as you've published that plugin).

It's possible that I may have omitted a step. I've just checked my own websites (where I have implemented the solution) and that's all that I can see that you need to do. Please let us know if this answered your query.

I have just tested quickly now on K1.5.9, when i set profile and avatar integration with CB, the data are get from Kunena and not from CB, when i change the birthdate, it always show the kunena birthdate. I haven't investigated more, but i need to fix that asap.

Do you have the same issue ?

I've no problem with birthdate. In Forum Integration, the birthday field points to CB's date of birth. That integrated perfectly. In forums, birthdate shown is from CB.

Thus far, I've done steps 1 & 2.

Step 3 is not in a profile tab but in profile item. Will that make a difference?

Also done step 4.

Gender icon still didn't appear .

You think it has to do with CB 1.2.2?

This is something that you should take up with the folks at Joomlapolis .

Hi Sozzled. Thanks for the clarification. Field is assigned to a CB profile tab.
