Prevent Gender Change

[James]

This modification will prevent users from changing their gender once it has been set.

If a user's gender is unspecified, the user will be allowed to change their gender. Once a gender is specified (either male/female) the user cannot change their gender at all.

Installation Instructions

• Download the attached zip file
• Upload the library folder to your XF root
• Install the addon-NoGenderChange.xml by going to ACP -> Install Add-on

Uninstallation Instructions

• Uninstall the Prevent Gender Change add-on from your ACP -> List Add-ons
• Delete the NoGenderChange directory from the library directory

Notes
This add-on uses one phrase named NoGenderChange_cannot_change_gender_once_set which you are free to edit at leisure.
Feedback is appreciated!

Enjoy

Very nice james. Good job.

 

[James]

Can someone confirm this bug with this mod enabled:
Changing/Adding/Deleting Identity Services doesn't work.

I've experienced it on my install, looking at a fix but I'm baffled atm!

 

[Peggy]

Could be awkward if they actually do change gender.

Just sayin....

 

[Panupat]

So I'll remain male for the rest of my life?

Will look into this tomorrow. In the meantime, can you remove the ampersand from &$errors in the function parameters and see if that resolves it?

 

[Digital Doctor]

What happens is someone does change their gender !

just kidding !​

EDIT: Ooops ... I see many others have already raised this mirky issue !

 

[fattony69]

I think this should be default.

Are you still getting this error? The add-on still works fine for me.

Opps sorry James missed your other reply.
I don't have it installed anymore mate after I got that error I got rid.

 

[Leandros9999]

Dont work for me on 1.0.4
If I want to edit my profile, I get a white page with "unexpected error occured"

 

[James]

Does it tell you any errors in the JavaScript console?

 

[Oblivion Knight]

I wonder, is this add-on still required in 1.1?

I noticed that the Custom User Fields video (02:02) shows an option for "Editable only once", and wondered if this could now be used on the Gender field as stock? I don't have 1.1 so can't look into it myself..

 

[James]

Gender isn't a custom user field, plus this add-on needs updating and bugfixing which is on my list.

 

[Oblivion Knight]

I was aware of that, but wondered if the functionality had been extended to non-custom fields.

I'm using 1.0.2, so haven't run in to the reported bugs with the add-on..

 

[Oblivion Knight]

I moved host, and appear to have bumped in to the above mentioned error.
I don't know if you've now bumped in to it youself and have the full error, but I noticed it wasn't posted here, so...

I can also confirm that removing the ampersand from two instances of &$errors doesn't work.

 

[James]

That's strange, it looks like it's an ampersand issue. I'll look into it once I've woken up!
