Show the exact code that you did on the profile page. Place it in < pre > tags or < code > tags or something else that makes the code readable.

nah

that is very inefficient to query each person in a loop.

$Author->Gender not work becuase in user model JoinUsers
$Join = GetValue('Join', $Options, array('Name', 'Email', 'Photo'));

is missing 'Gender'

You could add it, though not the most transportable solution.

The efficient solution is to cache the users, and join them pragmatically which is what JoinUsers does. Only it doesn't carry the gender across even though all the values are returned from the query.

look in dashboard/models/class.usermodel.php -> JoinUser

set the line to

$Join = GetValue('Join', $Options, array('Name', 'Email', 'Photo', 'Gender'));

This isn't the idea solution but it is simple for you, the plugin version would be more complex becuase there isn't a hook where you can add additional values in the mix, maybe somethign you can mention on github.

If the comment model Get added the the options, then you could use BeforeGet to to set $Options['Join'] retrieve what you want and go it by hooks, unfortunately the is not the case right now.

Saro, the way I see it is that lots of 'regulars' on this forum will 'read' all topics (with new posts in my case) so you do not have to mention the 'regulars', because they'll read it anyways.

What you need to do a little more is first try the option (for example from the discussion you found) and then write down what didn't work.

You can say : I want a red door, but all I found was a blue door. Or you can say : I want a red door, I have the red paint, but could not find the right brushes. All the stores are closed, what to do?

Do you see my point?

he's one better.

@sarowlwp post your code, and the results. I'm sure one of the 'guys' will be able to point you in the right direction. I think this is the sort of specificity that underdog was aiming for.. but he's a lot more subtle than i am.

oh, and im both offended and grateful that you didn't @ me on this. (not an invitation, just trying for humor)

There may be a better way but this works. - but it will do a database read on every comment.

apparently it is Null in the $Sender, and $Object. I don't know if this is possibly a bug in the vanilla code or not.

you have to pull it out of the database yourself like below:

echo UserPhoto($Author);
echo UserAnchor($Author);

 $AuthGender = Gdn::Database()->SQL()->Select('Gender')->From('User')->Where('UserID', $Author->UserID)->Get()->FirstRow();

echo $AuthGender->Gender;

let us know if it works for you

that is very inefficient to query each person in a loop.

$Author->Gender not work becuase in user model JoinUsers
$Join = GetValue('Join', $Options, array('Name', 'Email', 'Photo'));
