Want to add a “Female Members” Block to Home page?

I want to add another block to the home page that will only include female members. I do not want to get rid of the “Featured Members” block, just want to add a separate block for female members.

Female members block:

- only single woman

- only active members

- only with picture uploaded

Updated 05-02-09

Will now display nickname, age, country and country flag bellow user pic.

Random selected from DB.

1) Admin/Builders/Pages Builder, Add a new HTML page as bellow:

Caption Lang Key: _female members

Visible for: Guest Member

SAVE

2) Open phpMyAdmin, click on table PageCompose and browse

look at row Caption and find _female members (shall be the last insert id)

Edit ID where Caption = _female members as bellow:

Func: Female

Content:

SAVE

(Content shall be blank)

3) Admin/Settings/Languages Settings, add a new language string

String: Female members

Category: Page titles

4) Open file templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndex.php

Find Featured members block and add this code above

/**

 function getBlockCode_Female() {
  global $site;
  global $aPreValues;
  global $getBlockCode_Female_db_num;
  global $max_thumb_width;
  global $max_thumb_height;
  global $oTemplConfig;
  
  $female_num = '8';

  if ( $female_num )
  {
$female_res = db_res( "SELECT * FROM `Profiles` WHERE `Sex` = 'female' AND `Couple` = '0' AND `Picture` = '1' AND `Status` = 'Active' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $female_num" );

         $ret .= '<div class="clear_both"></div>';
   
   if( mysql_num_rows( $female_res ) > 0 )
   {
    $j=1;
    while( $female_arr = mysql_fetch_assoc( $female_res ) )
    {

$age_str = _t("_y/o", age( $female_arr['DateOfBirth'] ));

$y_o_sex = $age_str . '&nbsp;' . _t("_".$female_arr['Sex']);

$female_country = _t($aPreValues['Country'][$female_arr['Country']] ['LKey']);

$female_flag = '&nbsp;<img src="'. ($site['flags'].strtolower($female_arr['Country'])) .'.gif" alt="flag" />';

     $ret .= '<div class="featured_block_1">';
     $ret .= get_member_thumbnail( $female_arr['ID'], 'none' );
     $ret .= '<center>';
     $ret .= '<a href="' . getProfileLink( $female_arr['ID'] ) . '">'; 
     $ret .= process_line_output( $female_arr['NickName'] );
     $ret .= '</a>';
     $ret .= ", ";
     $ret .= age( $female_arr['DateOfBirth'] );
     $ret .= '<br />';
     $ret .= $female_country;
     $ret .= $female_flag;
     $ret .= '</center>';

     $ret .= '<br />';
     $ret .= '</div>';
     
     $j++;
    }
   }
   else
   {
    $ret .= '<div class="no_result">';
     $ret .= '<div>';
      $ret .= _t("_No results found");
     $ret .= '</div>';
    $ret .= '</div>';

Thanks a lot okweb,

I followed everything and the "Female Members" Block is now on my home page.  One problem, the "Female Members" Block is only placing featured members inside the block.  Any idea why that is happening?

Great Thanks, this was very helpful.

Nice job..

can we integrate in block  "_members" in index page ?

Added some female on my test site, are now 3 featured and 5 not, everyone is displayed in the female members block.

Ottar.

Hello Okweb, i found my problem.

In the following line:

$female_num = '8';

I have 12 Featured Female Members, as a result the new "Females Members" Block was only displaying 8 Featured Female Members.  I changed this value to 28 and it fixed the problem.

$female_num = '28';

The "Female Members" Block is now displaying all the Featured Female Members and 16 other Female Members.  (You had 3 Featured and 5 non featured, in which case all 8 of your female members would be displayed with the value set to "8")

Is there a way to omit the "Featured Members" from the "Female Members" Block.  By my own doing my home page looks very redundant now, with many of the same Female Members appearing in both blocks.

Thanks a lot Okweb, this has been a huge help to me indeed.

Great Update!

Just posting for anyone whom might find this useful.

I figured out how to omit the "Featured Members" from my "Female Members" Block.  I added the following query:

AND `Featured` = '0'

... in the following line:

$female_res = db_res( "SELECT * FROM `Profiles` WHERE `Sex` = 'female' AND `Featured` = '0' AND `Couple` = '0' AND `Picture` = '1' AND `Status` = 'Active' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $female_num" );

That did the trick.

Regards.

Hello okweb,

I found your method here very useful.  I posted another similar topic and would like to invite your feedback:

I think the method might be very similar.

Thanks man,

great job guys

Does this Mod work in 7.0.9  ?

yes 

 But  does this  shows  in the index.php ??

does this method work on dolphin7.3.3. ?

The Members Anywhere module will allow you to easily create blocks with different subset of members and place those blocks on any page you desire.
