State Flags

[Lamby1973]

For this, its exactly the same as the Country Flag hack, however this shows where abouts you live.

IE....
Flag > England
State Flag > Yorkshire/Northumberland....etc etc

You dont need to have the Country Flag addon installed on your board to use this, this is totally seperate.

I have tested this an it worked on my 3.5.2 board. It should work on any version of 3.5 :)

Any bugs or quieres then just let me know, ill try my best to help you out :)

Installed.. Easy money. thank you!

[Lamby1973]

Your Welcome!

[bashy]

hi

I cannot find
<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>
in either postbit nor postbit legacy, what do i do with this code now lol

I have searched all the way through, I have like 70 other modifications done to my board so this code may have been modded already!!

Bashy

[bashy]

I have just dumped the code anywhere in legacy and it sort of works...
the flags arnt showing though...
Theres not even any place holders for the pics to show that they are in the wrong place or out like that :(

Any thoughts?

Bashy

[Lamby1973]

Your pictures should have been uploaded to your images file as stated in the install file....least i think i put it in there.

And i would have said if you cant find that then look for this:

<if condition="$show['reputation']"><div><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: $post[reppower]</if>$post[reputationdisplay]</div></if>

And place it above it.

[bashy]

Hi

No ya didnt say that in the instructions :)

will try it though thanks


State Flag Mod for vb 3.5

As part of the Country Flag mod, State Flag mod created by Jonathan Thomas

1. Go to AdminCP => Profile Fields => Add new Profile field => Single Select Menu >

Description > Tell people where abouts your from

Options:
[copy and paste list of countries in state_list.txt to this option field]

Display Page: Edit Profile

Write down your field# . i.e field6

2. Open postbit(_legacy) template,

FIND:

<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

BELOW, ADD:

<if condition="$post[fieldX] != ''"><div>
State/County: <img src="images/state/$post[fieldX].gif" title="$post[fieldX]" align="center">
</div></if>


<!-- Change X to the field id. -->


3. Upload /state to images/state to your forum dir.



<!--- That's it! --->

[Lamby1973]

Yes i did ;)

3. Upload /state to images/state to your forum dir.

Always read to the end ;)

[bashy]

I was reffering to the
<if condition="$show['reputation']"><div><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: $post[reppower]</if>$post[reputationdisplay]</div></if>
That was not in the instructions...

As for the images, this is where they are...
/forums/images/state/

Bashy

[Lamby1973]

ah right yeah i know, because i didnt think that would be gone from peoples postsbits! lol

So i was just suggesting another place for you to put them :)

[bashy]

Ah...im with ya...

Still not working though lol, well the images anyway lol

Bashy

[Lamby1973]

link me to your forum, and will have a look from there :)

Right double check for me that you've created the new profile fields in your admin CP....and also changed the X's in the code to the number of that profile field....

[bashy]

Hi

sorry that should have been 1 of the 1st things i should have put lol

www.bashys-place.com

Bashy

[Lamby1973]

There so much stuff on there it would suprise me if it clashed tbh....

Cant think of anything else other than what ive suggested

[bashy]

Ok Lamby, no worries....
It had to happen sooner or later, i have about 71 mods installed including yours :)...

Oh well at least the area is showing..

thanks for looking and trying anyway...

Regards

Bashy

[Rickie3]

works a treat thankyou *installed*,the only thing i have to do is change the state pic sizes to correspond to my country flags size of 30x15 the state flags are 32x20,is there a quick way of doing this??

[Lamby1973]

Erm, im not entirely sure! I think you would have to put them in an editor like fireworks and just change the canvas size :)

[bashy]

Hi lamby

I had another go now that im fully awake...

I finally sorted it...

Sometimes things work using the postbit_legacy and other times just using the postbit...

It was postbit this time, and i also moved it further up to just under the users loacation, looks better there :)

Regards

Bashy

*clicks install

[Rickie3]

i have a request::::you don't appear to have included a flag for the "state of confusion', which is what i generally seem to be in these days.

[Lamby1973]

lmao!!!

Will have a crack at that flag for you! ;)

[Lamby1973]

There you go, You state of confusion. lol

Simply right click on the image and save as, and add it to your States Folder.

And in your list in the AdminCP add this: State of Confusion

Note: Just a little note that it may have to go in Alphabetical order, im not sure.

:) Hope that surfices for you :) :D

[Rickie3]

hahahahahahahaa PMSL thanx for that,and i did use it lol

[Lamby1973]

;) glad you liked it lol!

[bashy]

Hi lamby...

Is this meant to add 1 or 2 flags, im sure ive see other forums with 2?
Or are they using to mods?

Bashy

[Lamby1973]

Its supposed to add one flag....the other is the CountryFlag add on!

[bashy]

Thats what i thought...

Thanks lamby :)

[Lamby1973]

No problem :)

Thank you!

[Sooner95]

Works great, included the State Of Confusion as well...thx! click

[quanvo81]

Everything is ok, EXCEPT this:
The default option for everyone when they just signup and come to User CP and edit their profile is Au Aboriginal, so for people who is not familiar with Vbulletin setting, they will ignore it and when other members click on Member List, they will see alots of other members with the Au Aboriginal Flag.
I did choose the "Yes, Include the First Blank Option" already .
How do I fix this problem?

It's ok guys, I figured it out, just add an extra option to the field . I added Not Applicable to the top of the field, then rename the clear.gif file to Not Applicable.gif and reupload the the state directory.
thanks anyway guys...

[napukjon]

Great work Lamby....works a treat...

[rareclownfish]

On 3.5.4 should the default be set to: Yes, Icluding a first blank option?

[Roms]

Thanks, I might add this. :) I have the country and the state will go well...

[SHalliday]

Now if I could only get province flags for Canada. Anyone know where I could get a set of those that I could use with this hack as well?

[Mrdby]

3.6.5?

[pompaunpo]

sorry... and flags in memberlist ?

I have activate : "Show on Member List " = YES

but in memberlist.php I see only Country name no image flag

[Mrdby]

3.6.7?????

[cloyal]

This works for 3.6.7PL. No problems. I installed this a while back on a 3.5 version and one of the states was misspelled. Not sure which one, but it wouldn't load the state or something. Can't remember but as soon as I find out, I'll post it here.

I enjoy this hack and so far no problems. I did make the changes to both the post bit and the post bit legacy, to be safe and have had no issues.

[GremlinPrince]

thanks very much simple to use

Hey, Where is the Turkey fLag ?! :mad:
