eMember: make default gender female in Add/Edit Members screen

[johnw1965]

When entering new members into eMember via the Add/Edit Members screen, is it possible to set the default gender for new members to be female?

I’m assisting a non-profit whose membership is 95% female and this simple setting would save lots of unnecessary, repetitive mouse clicks for the secretary.

Yes. Thats possible with a tweak. open add_member_view.php and swap the following line with each other:

Code:

<option <?php echo ($editingrecord[‘gender’] ===’male’)? “selected=’selected'” : null;?> value=”male”>Male</option>
<option <?php echo ($editingrecord[‘gender’] ===’female’)? “selected=’selected'” : null;?> value=”female”>Female</option>

so after modification, its gonna look like :

Code:

<option <?php echo ($editingrecord[‘gender’] ===’female’)? “selected=’selected'” : null;?> value=”female”>Female</option>
<option <?php echo ($editingrecord[‘gender’] ===’male’)? “selected=’selected'” : null;?> value=”male”>Male</option>

Thanks. Now done and working fine. Appreciate your help.

So will I have to do this mod every time I update the eMember plugin to the latest version?

I presume that every update will overwrite the modified add_member_view.php file.
