Well, i looked all over the forums but couldn't find this countryflag mod; however, i found it on vb.org instead. [...] Nice mod, installed.

For the people with spanish forums, I have modified the flags_list file to reflect the Spanish name of the countries and the images for that. I attach the flag_list and the images if you want it to be in spanish.

Just what I was looking for ! thanks ! :D

A question though, is it a must to set Display Page: Thread Viewing. Can it be on Edit Profile instead ?

cinq, could put it anywhere you want.

as for running the UPDATE `userfield` SET `fieldX` = 'Undisclosed'; query. It's unnecessary, IMO. You could have an empty field in the first line and set it as default. Then using <if condition="$post[fieldX]"> flag code here </if> would give what you want.

ok, but what would i do to put it on the Edit Profile area?

Change this option:

I went al litte further and created a gif called "Undisclosed.gif" and placed it in the flags folder on the server. I then removed the IF statement from the postbit so that it would show the undisclosed gif file as the default. The undisclosed gif is basically a small image reminding the user to update their profile :-)

Here you go-

So, all I have to do is remove that IF statement and this will work? Forgive me I am a n00b.

Yup. just use this code-

An make sure you upload the Undisclosed.gif to the same folder as the other flags.

You would move it to that part of the template.

well, it's optional to set all gender field in the table to Undisclosed, but if you don't run that query, it gonna show a big X on the image.

Works great, I actually have some USA State flags and added Country and State profile fields.

Let me know if you need those flags.

Just use conditionals to not show anything if the userfield is empty.

Might be a good idea to add a jump bar in the profile field for country. Because if you type for instance: USA, the graphic shows up broken. You need to type United States for the graphic to show.

Or a link to a popup template that lists: Acceptable Country Names.

Is it possible to set the country flag entry at the bottom of the postbit? Now i have the symbols for IP, Reputation etc at the bottum, but not the country flag :eek:

btw: is it possible to change the font size of "CountrY" i think it´s a lil bit to big :s

peterska2

30 Oct 2004, 22:33

Fin the section of your postbit_legacy template that does the ip functions (should be $post[iplogged] ) then add the postbit section of the code on a new line directly below there instead of where it states it wants it.

To make the text country smaller use class="smallfont" either within the existing <div> <font> or whatever other tags it has around it. This will then make it set to the smallfont value in your main CSS.

Hi,

I have upgraded from Vb2.x to 3.x The original users country is in the user table. This mod puts it in the userfield table. How do I import the old users country data into the userfield table so everyone doesn't have to choose their country again?

Thanks!

How can this hack be changed to allow folks to just LEAVE the field blank if they do not want a flag at all!?!?!?!?!?!

DRJ

31 Jan 2005, 00:28

Just add None to the field list. Then check for that in the template.

<if condition="$post[fieldx]&&$post[fieldx]<>None">

Do something

</if>

I'd like to share a small modification I've made to this hack which I've found my members really enjoy.

This addon will allow members to display their US State, or Canadian Provincial flags ONLY if they have the United States or Canada selected as their Country.

In addition, if they pick a country that is part of the European Union, it will automatically display the EU flag next to it as well.

I've attached an installer and all necissary files to get it working with the Country hack.

It's a very small addon, and only took me about 5 mins (tops) to get to work once the Country Flag hack was installed.

If you require any technical assistance with this hack, as I am posting this thread on both vBulletin.org (http://www.vbulletin.org), and vBulletinTemplates.com (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com), I will provide technical support for this addon only on my own forums located here:
http://www.battleforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=288

I also welcome anyone PMing me on my forums as I check my PM box more often than my cellphone voicemail. Please do not PM me here however, as I am not nearly as active on this account.

Enjoy!

You could probably go into your phpMyAdmin and edit each user in that field (8) to 'undisclosed'.

Im sure there is an easier way though...

Have you uploaded the images to the correct directory? All of the <img> tags have alts, so it sounds like your code is right, but it's not finding the images.

Having same problem: forums/images/flags <---all flag images in there, they're not showing up though.

According to the directions though (Upload /flags to /images/misc/flags of your forum dir) that says you need to upload the flags folder to another folder named flags so it would be forums/images/misc/flags/flags <---all images there, but that doesn't make sense to have two folders.

If it's supposed to be one folder the directions should read: Upload /flags to /images/misc/ of your forum dir

Does anyone know if this hack is compatible with 3.5 RC2?

|Jordan|

3.0.X Hacks aren't compatible with 3.5 hacks.

They would have to be completely recoded. 3.5 introduced new code changes everywhere.

Ive been trying for ages to get this hack working on 3.07

read all the threads i can find on it, but still no joy.

in the memberlist, the Country field is displayed, although it only shows text, no images.

when viewing forums, i get nothing displayed at all. Im asuming the flag image should be displayed on every post, in the middle of the header of the post, where all the other user info is ???

ive tried all sort of little changes to get it happening but nowt yet. I suspect its unable to locate the images, but they are uploaded as per the instructions, the filepath to the flag images would be forum/images/misc/flags/*****.gif

any help please???

Hi guys,

Sorry to sound thick here but where is postbit(_legacy) within Version 3.5.4 as I can only find class_postbit.php & class_postbit_alt.php templates.

Also when looking for

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>

all I can find is the updated version

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

within vbulletin-style.xml which was my old install folder?

I know things have changed since this post first started so can this be installed on a fresh install of 3.5 or only as an upgrade to 3.5..

Many thanks

OPPS

Sorry Guys had two post open at the same time this should have been within this thread. SORRY.
