XF 1.5 Conditional for Male, Female, Unspecified, Genders?

[Anthony Parsons]

I want to target the gender preference default set in XF. I understand how easy this is if using custom fields, but gender already has a column in the DB, and how XF implement it within templates seems more about a call to PHP which renders the specifics vs a conditional.

So is there a way to take whatever XF has set in default, to create a conditional that can target whether the user has selected, Male, Female or Unspecified, within a template?

I want to get rid of avatars, but use the profile gender selection to replace the avatar with a coloured block, without calling an image.

Hello, you can try with {$user.gender}

<xen:if is="{$user.gender} == 'male'">
    Male
<xen:elseif is="{$user.gender} ==  'female'"/>
   Female
<xen:else/>
    unspecified
</xen:if>

That doesn't work.

Works for me

Use {xen:helper dump, $user.gender} to check if the variable is available in the template.
