}
?>Create under templates file ext.zodiac.tpl and add following code into file:
<img src="{virtual_tpl_path}{session.template}/media/signs/zodiac_sign_{ext_zodiac_sign}.png" border="0" alt="" />Create folder into your templates "media" folder named "signs" and put zodiac signs there and name them zodiac_sign_[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12].png or whatever file format icons you have.
Numbers for signs are following:
1. Aries
2. Taurus
3. Gemini
4. Cancer
5. Leo
6. Virgo
7. Libra
8. Scorpio
9. Sagittarius
10. Capricorn
11. Aquarius
12. Pisces
If you want to display zodiac sign you can use 2 different ways
1. {zodiac:field="profile_age"} - Show to logged in members their zodiac sign depending on "profile_age" field.
2. {zodiac:birthday=member_profile_age} - Display in the member list, search etc...
Hope this will be helpful as I saw many users request such extension.
Best regards,
FredL
