So i did a bit of poking around and googling and it appears i cannot find where anyone has done a plugin for astrology signs and i cannot even find a thread talking about it. Either my searchs were not using the right keywords or it has not been talked about and i wonder why.

Has anyone added the signs to their site, it would be easy to do just with a simple array and display next to the birthday field.. Hard to believe not even a plugin for this yet...

Here is how you do it folks... you add a profile question..

set it as as single choice dropdown

then copy and paste this in the values area

Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Leo
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius

Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces

then finish the question and save.

Now for the symbol addition...

the bad part is that you have to add these one at a time in the language area. You CANNOT paste these directly in the question value (although that would easy) it wont work because due to the use of html entities and other sanitation of the values field, the code will show in the dropdown instead of the symbol. So you HAVE to do this one at a time in the language admin and then it will covert on the dropdown to the symbol.

so in admin language:

Search And add code after the name

------ ----------------------------------------------------------

Aries ♈
Taurus ♉
Gemini ♊
Cancer ♋
Leo ♌
Virgo ♍
Libra ♎
Scorpio ♏
Sagittarius ♐
Capricorn ♑
Aquarius ♒
Pisces ♓

easiest way is to just copy and paste the same code to each and just change the number, they are sequential.

update added capricorn sorry forgot that one

I took the color out of the span

removed color: #F5A9A9;

because it dont matter, it still comes out the same. So you can leave it in or take it out, it has no affect.

Hi kelvin

once you add those to your question, then you go to the admin lang and you do a search

search for Aries then add the code after and repeat till done with all the names Taurus and all of them do search to find them..

I guess instead of find i should say search sorry.

Kelvin {the GodFada} Oct 20 '13

ok, thanks

Kelvin {the GodFada} Oct 20 '13
