I'm not a sexist...

...but I need to force gender selection at registration. Any advice on how do that?

peregrine

here is some jquery that will erase unspecified and force a check on male. The user can still change it to female by clicking on female.

just throw it in a plugin, themehooks to execute with registration page.

$('.RadioLabel').filter(":first").hide();

$('#Form_Gender').hide()

$('#Form_Gender1').prop('checked',true);

or if you want female auto-checked.

$('#Form_Gender2').prop('checked',true);

peregrine

isn't gender selection already there?

what version of Vanilla and what type of registration?

peregrine

ok you probably mean vanilla 2.1? since it has an unspecified option.

a whole less searching if the exact version of vanilla was specified in question

one way to do it....

e.g. with registerapproval

copy the

/applications/dashboard/views/entry/registerapproval.php

to your theme views

and modify

echo $this->Form->RadioList('Gender', $this->GenderOptions, array('default' => 'u'))

so that the $this->GenderOptions are only M F or whatever you want.

peregrine

or create a plugin and copy the registration views. either way will do what you want.

Thank you for your answer.

I have tried using using various hooks and this code:

SetValue("GenderOptions", $Sender, array( 'm' => T('Male'), 'f' => T('Female') ));

Without success.

This is the vanilla EntryController function that sets these values:

`
public function Register($InvitationCode = '') {
$this->FireEvent("Register");

  $this->Form->SetModel($this->UserModel);

  // Define gender dropdown options                                                        
  $this->GenderOptions = array(
     'u' => T('Unspecified'),
     'm' => T('Male'),
     'f' => T('Female')
  );

//CUT...
}
`

As you can see an event is triggered before the values set, so it is unuseful. So I tried with the immediatily next event (and the code reported above):
EntryController_BeforeAddCss_Handler without results...

Since I don't want to mantain vanilla custom views, I'm too busy and too lazy , I'm searching for another solution...maybe javascript?

I found this tid bit of info maybe it can help?

http://www.html-form-guide.com/php-form/php-form-processing.html

maybe if you add an if statement

if(empty($varGender)) {
      $errorMessage .= "You forgot to select your Gender!";

Thanks! For asking this... Did not feel manly enough to ask.

I have also tried to add a custom validation in the controller using hooks to enforce this solution, but nothing.
Thank you everybody.

This would be really cool.

peregrine

I added a ForceGender plugin that gives only m and f f choices and removes unspecified

and validates for selection of m and f.

consider yourself notified - if you were serious about the plugin, download and test.

I'll add an icon - when @vrijvlinder posts her icon picks .

Srggamer

Dear @peregrine you serve another fine meal, works as wanted, works flawlessly and Even has a settings page. Great work mate!

lmao you read my intentions, Yep on it's way !! let me post a couple before you add it to the plugin so as to pick the best one....

lifeisfoo

Thank you @peregrine, it works. Here is the code to manage profile updates (force users already registered users with no gender selected to select a gender on profile update). Add it to your plugin.

    public function UserModel_BeforeSaveValidation_Handler($Sender){
        $Gender = GetValue("Gender", $Sender->EventArguments["FormPostValues"]);
        if ( !in_array($Gender, array('m','f')) ){
            echo $Gender;
            $Sender->Validation->AddValidationResult('Gender', T('You must select a Gender M or F'));
        }
    }
   public function ProfileController_BeforeEdit_Handler($Sender) {
       $NewGenderOptions = array("m"=>"Male", "f"=>"Female");
       $Sender->GenderOptions =  $NewGenderOptions;
   }

I though this would be relevant to this discussion for some reason...
