[SOLVED] canvas and avatar: gender?

Hi,
I need a hint, I've seen you have different background-image colors and avatars for male and female (nophoto_m, nophoto_f, nophoto_n). Earlier I used a core patch to mark the gender in the avatar. I am using the custom HTML field genderbadge (in your tutorial) with gender icons. But I would like to use these background colors. But how to? Can you give a hint. I think other would be interested too! Thanks in advance.

Best I can suggest is to override their output using the new Layouts feature. You'd add a substitution IF statement to determine their gender then alter the display of the fields as needed. This could be just a matter of adding a CSS class so you can customize the output further using CSS based off gender or it could be used to render an entirely different field, it's up to you. I recommend playing with the Layouts parameters of your avatar and canvas fields.

Hi, I tried in canvas with:
[cb:if canvas =" mypage.ch/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/images/canvas/nophoto_n.png " cb_gender="_UE_FEMALE"]<img src=" mypage.ch/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/images/canvas/nophoto_f.png " alt="woman symbol" />[/cb:if]

[cb:if canvas =" mypage.ch/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/images/canvas/nophoto_n.png " cb_gender="_UE_MALE"]<img src=" mypage.ch/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/images/canvas/nophoto_m.png " alt="man symbol" />[/cb:if]
[cb:if canvas !=" mypage.ch/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/images/canvas/nophoto_n.png " ] [cb:userfield field="canvas" /] [/cb:if]



it gives me the male/female canvas, when there is no personal canvas. But in the profiles with no personal canvas, there is shown NO CANVAS.

What is wrong?

EDIT:
when I create a new image field in an other tab. Then it works fine! Why not in canvas?

You mean your 3rd condition is failing? To condition if there is no image or there is an image please see the below.

[cb:if avatar!~"/(nophoto_n|tnnophoto_n)\.png$/"]Show if there is an Avatar[/cb:if]
[cb:if avatar~"/(nophoto_n|tnnophoto_n)\.png$/"]Show if there is not an Avatar[/cb:if]

This usage can be applied to any image field. You can also setup the canvas field to have no default image and then you could condition field!="".

when I use this
[cb:if avatar!~"/(nophoto_n|tnnophoto_n)\.png$/"]Show if there is an Avatar[/cb:if]
[cb:if avatar~"/(nophoto_n|tnnophoto_n)\.png$/"]Show if there is not an Avatar[/cb:if]

I get an error notice:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /administrator/index.php on this server.
and the whole server breaks /for about 10 Minutes.

Your server shouldn't breaking from some regex. Are you sure you're using it exactly as I've specified above? I've retested the substitution and it's working fine. If the regex is wrong or has been escaped then you might have a fatal PHP error due to invalid regex. It could also be mod_security usage from your host causing it to break.
