Colored Gender Images & Frozen Snowflake

[tahbikat]

Wasn't sure where to post this, but Art Gallery seems appropriate. :P

By default the gender images are plain black. I've simply taken them, recolored them (female = pink, male = blue) and reuploaded them to my site. To save everyone else the trouble of also recoloring them, I figured I would post them!

I've also included a snowflake icon for those of you who want a nice little icon to show users when an adopt is frozen.

Directions: Go to your picuploads folder, delete the f.png and m.png then upload these icons, and make sure they are named f.png (for female) and m.png (for male).

Female-
Male-

Onto the snowflake (which is really just the image of a colored asterisk, hehe)! First things first, the way I've enabled it on my site is that I use a 10x10 transparent image when a creature isn't frozen, then the snowflake image if they are frozen. I've named these "no.png" and "yes.png" to reflect what the owned_adoptables database column isfrozen outputs.

Here they are. Just right click next to the Not Frozen text until you get the save image option. :P Also, if you don't like the transparent image and instead would rather a faded snowflake or a snowflake with an x on it, you could also do that! Feel free to edit it!

Not Frozen:
Frozen:

To put the icon next to, say, a creature's name/gender in its profile view or the My Adopts page, simply use this bit of code:

PHP Code:

<img src='/picuploads/{$adopt->isFrozen()}.png' /> 


Now, we could also do this same thing for creatures who are/are not using alternate images, by placing the image of a star or something instead of the snowflake. However, this would require a bit more tinkering since the usealternates column also uses "yes" and "no". I'll probably come back to this later with some code for that. Right now I'm too lazy though. ^^'

O.o This is actually really smart - planning to use it!

Glad you find it useful Wallie!

Also edited to include a link to the rarity stars guide!
