Add more genders

selene

where do i need to add more genders?

myth

For this you have to go to the following ->

system/function.php

the following is the codes of line you have to edit for extra gender ->

Line 919 you have to add the array so for instance array(1,2,3); you want to put 1,2,3,4 so add a comma after 3 and put 4.

then you want to scroll down to line 940 and add the language for the gender

so basic version for it when get unmodified files is

case 1:
return $lang[‘male’];
case 2:
return $lang[‘female’];
case 3:
return $lang[‘other’];

is how it is basic.

so add

case 4:
return $lang[‘(you chosen gender)’];

Now that you have done system/fuction.php

you will want to then go to system/language/your-language/language.php

scroll to line 21 you will fine the language pieces of code for the genders and just add your new gender underneath female.

Once you have added the gender just clear your cache. If you have redis cache active on your site make sure you clear your redis cache.

Clearing cache will just make it run smoother after the added code is update through the server.

There’s only two genders, Male and Female. Dont encourage additional genders please.

Danielcj002 That is your opinion. Nobody else needs to hear it.

This can be a good starting point:

system/function.php

function genderTitle($s){
global $lang;
switch($s){
case 1:
return $lang[‘male’];
case 2:
return $lang[‘female’];
case 3:
return $lang[‘transgender’];
case 4:
return $lang[‘gender_neutral’];
case 5:
return $lang[‘non_binary’];
case 6:
return $lang[‘agender’];
case 7:
return $lang[‘pangender’];
case 8:
return $lang[‘genderqueer’];
case 9:
return $lang[‘two_spirit’];
case 10:
return $lang[‘gender_fluid’];
case 11:
return $lang[‘polygender’];
case 12:
return $lang[‘bigender’];
default:
return $lang[‘other’];
}
}

and in language.php

$lang[‘male’] = ‘Male’;
$lang[‘female’] = ‘Female’;
$lang[‘transgender’] = ‘Transgender’;
$lang[‘gender_neutral’] = ‘Gender Neutral’;
$lang[‘non_binary’] = ‘Non-Binary’;
$lang[‘agender’] = ‘Agender’;
$lang[‘pangender’] = ‘Pangender’;
$lang[‘genderqueer’] = ‘Genderqueer’;
$lang[‘two_spirit’] = ‘Two-Spirit’;
$lang[‘gender_fluid’] = ‘Gender Fluid’;
$lang[‘polygender’] = ‘Polygender’;
$lang[‘bigender’] = ‘Bigender’;
$lang[‘other’] = ‘Other’;

also in system/function.php

function genderList(){
return array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13);
}
