Marriage question...

[Megan|SaraBeth]

I know with the marriage module you can only marry one person.  But if you use the user editor you can marry multiple people.  Is there a way to change the module for the charstats and the bio to read all the peoples name said person is married too?  

For example if acctid 1 married acctid 2 and 3 the bio and charstats for acctid 1 would show the names of acctid 2 and 3.

Marriage in the core has exactly 1 field.

You cannot marry somebody to more than 1 number (as it is a number).

A module might handle flirting etc. differently, but the marriage modules usually use that one field for spouse - also the core functions work on that one.

And yes, of course there is a way to change a charstat display.

How would I get the display to show all the people married too.  Because I have someone whose acctid Is in my box as married too and another girls.  I want his and all players like this, charstat to say married to: Sara & Blah Blah for example...

As I still have no clue what module you use or how it is saved...

instead of a query checking one acctid, you should check for all.
(as "where acctid=" to "where acctid IN (" and add the comma separated list)
then go through that array and patch all names together. =)

I'm clueless and I use the marriage module the one you helped with....

"name"=>"Marriage Expanded",
"version"=>"5.21",
"author"=>"CortalUX, Oliver Brendel, expanded by DaveS",

I recall that one ^^ a long time ago.

then it should work as I pointed it out. some assembly required. ^^

[Megan|SaraBeth]

I am sorta clueless as to how to do it as you said.  I'm still learning.

I also think you may need to do some edits to the function file for the marriage module you are using...because in that file it has the Uh Oh! stuff in it for when you flirt with someone else.. and I don't see it working to expect all your players to flirt with all the people they want to marry, marry them all, and then want another one and end up divorcing everyone.

[Megan|SaraBeth]

The other person they marry would have to be set by an admin...It would be on special requests and such.  So that can stay there I suppose.  What I want is so know how to get the bio and the charstats to check to see if you are married to more than one outside the module and display it there for you in those two areas.

If the pref looked like:

Code:

<?php
"married"=>"Who all is this player married to?,text",
?>

Then you could do it... I do not think you can do it with int. (Correct me if I am wrong)

Then you would need the case for characterstats and biostat, with the following in your cases...

Code:

<?php
$people = get_module_pref("married");
$marriedto=explode(",",$people);
$count = count($marriedto);
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
$m = $marriedto[$i];
$sql = db_query("SELECT name FROM accounts WHERE acctid = ".$m);
$row = db_fetch_assoc($sql);
output($row['name']);
}
?>

I am not going to support these changes however, because if you don't want problems, you need to rewrite the entire module to support the multiple marriages..

Note: You need to modify that a bit more for your charstats. Output aint gonna work with it.
