Description: This mod will put a male, female, or undisclosed icon in the author profile. I’ll let you decide if undisclosed means “Not Telling” or just what. It is up to you to provide your own icons.

This mod was originally created for JanAQ as part of her requested profile mods.

I can’t take full credit for this mod, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get it working before I asked for help. Tammy replied and told me how to get it working.

As usual, my line numbers are approximate and only meant to put you in the general ballpark.

Please…. just kill me now. X_x

Seriously, the most reasonable book prices are for the classes I actually want to take. The rest are kind “meh” classes for me, but I need to pass them for my degree. Thankfully I have a hard time failing English and public speaking has never bothered me. (I’m not even sure why I need a video camera, but - oh well.)

Going to try to finish up one last eFiction modification before my classes resume tomorrow morning and then I’m poofing for a while.

Description: This mod adds a manditory disclaimer field to every story form. If users do not fill in the disclaimer, they’ll receive an error just like if they left the summary or title blank.

This mod is as involved as my story type mod, if not a bit moreso, due to the fact that it has to be made manditory. I strongly suggest you read through my instructions before you actually attempt this modification.

For this mod, I used files from the latest release. (2.0.7, 28 Aug 2006 patch) The line numbers are all approximate and will likely change as you progress through this mod. Please consider them simply a guide to put you into the general area.

This mod is UNTESTED. In theory it should work, but I have not tested it on my own site.
