[tnguy3n]

Site: http://www.vbviet.org
CountryFlag Mod for vb 3.5

This hack shows user's country flag in postbit, below the user name.

Original by SmartGnome, AJR, Pingu and Stasik for vb 2.2.x.


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

Title > Home Country

Description > Tell people where you're from.

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

Set Default: Yes, Include a First Blank Option

Editable By User: Yes

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="$post[fieldX] != ''"><div>
Country: <img src="images/flags/$post[fieldX].gif" title="$post[fieldX]" align="center">
</div></if>


<!-- Don't forget to change X to the field id. -->


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



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

---------------------------------------
To show countryflag in profile:


Open memberinfo template,

FIND:

<if condition="$userinfo['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$userinfo[usertitle]</div></if>

BELOW, ADD:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX] != ''"><div>
Country: <img src="images/flags/$userinfo[fieldX].gif" title="$userinfo[fieldX]" align="center">
</div></if>

[Boofo]

Where's the file?

[tnguy3n]

updating... it's been so long since I last release a hack, so I forgot all the procedures. :p

[Boofo]

Well, I for one am glad to see you releasing stuff again. ;)

Is there a way to make this work in the memberlist, too? ;)

[tnguy3n]

well, I can look into that option for you; however, I think that can't be done by template modding. Gotta code-hack or writing a plug-in for that.

[Boofo]

I'm almost sure a plug-in could handle it. ;)

I like your gender images, by the way. ;)

[tnguy3n]

Thanks.
Hey boofee-man, you're from IA, corn state? :p

[Boofo]

Thanks.
Hey boofee-man, you're from IA, corn state? :p

and you're saying that Des Moines doesn't grow corn? :D lol j/k.

[Boofo]

Not in the apartment I live it, we don't. I think you have to go outside of Des Moines a few miles for that. ;)

Check your PMs. ;)

[SnowBot]

I had one almost the same as this. Thanks for your efforts :)

[HC.]

instead of country is there away to do state flags since most of my users are in the US and CA

[TygerTyger]

Just change the list of countries to a list of states, and put the state flags in the flags directory with the same names as in the state list.

[tnguy3n]

Well, I for one am glad to see you releasing stuff again. ;)

Is there a way to make this work in the memberlist, too? ;)

okie, this add-on is written as requested by bofo.

Has the memberlist add-on been added to the zip in the first post, sir? ;)

Hmm.. Why exactly have you posted a plugin for the memberlist addon?

The template edits should work fine without it. ;)

Have you tried it without the plug-in?No, but I use similar code for my Gender userfield in the memberlist and it works fine..

Besides which, his $showflag variable is never used?

Actually, you're right. Plugin is unneccesary.

Yes, I did.

[rb290]

what do you mean change X to the field ID ?

[Oblivion Knight]

what do you mean change X to the field ID ?After creating the custom profile field, you need to look in the Profile Field Manager for the field id (see screenshot). Replace X with this number.

Instead of creating a new profile field, I overwrote my Location field therefore my field id is 2.. Yours is likely to be 5 or 6, depending on if you've created any custom fields previously. :)

You did not enter the correct format for the Home Country field. Please read the field description for the expected format.

[rb290]

im pretty sure i did everything right
this is how my postbit legacy template looks like:

<div>

</div>

Bizarre.. I'd check your settings for that custom profile field again, making sure that it's a Single-Selection Menu type and the options are configured as per the instructions.

I can get the flags to show up in user profiles but how can i get the flags to show up in the forum threads? do i need to enable an option?

Don't worry, problem solved!

[sellbuydomain]

i did it ,but flat and country not show up, when you said write down field6 ? how do you write down ,where to change field 6 , please more detail , thanks

[sellbuydomain]

how do you put the icon in to the post

[sellbuydomain]

i am using chinese version , is that any thing i need to change in coding ?

[tnguy3n]

fieldid shows in User Profile Field Management. (see attachment)

change fieldX (in code bit below) to your fieldid (whichever for your countryflag).

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

[sellbuydomain]

i try it, everything like you said, but the icon is not show up, no flag appear. why?

[thalamus]

This is a great mod :) I'm looking to use something like this to indicate languages spoken by users, so there may be more than one selection - can you suggest if there's a way to edit the process for this to allow for multi-flags to be displayed?

Thanks again, definitely will install this anyway but the extras would be cool :)

[C_P]

I had this working until I deleted the new profile filed. It was field6 and then I created a new profile field and re-odered them and now my field is field8 and no go!
Here is my postbit code for proof:
<if condition="$post[field8] != ''"><div>
Country: <img src="images/flags/$post[field8].gif" title="$post[field8]" align="center">
</div></if>
I also have the flags in images directory. Here is proof:
http://www.cpfools.com/forum/images/flags/

As you see, neither my profile (after making other modification) or the posts show my US flag:
http://www.cpfools.com/forum/showthread.php?p=11883#post11883#post11883

Do you have any ideas why this will not work now?

I think there's a multiple selection menu option. You can try to use that instead of single selection as it was.

[C_P]

That was it! You have to add it to both. I think I would modify your directions to clearly state that for dumbies like me.
Nie work by the way. I clicked instal

[lazyseller]

For people who are having problems with their flags not showing try going to your profile and updating your country....

As far as modifying for postbit and postbit legacy you only need to modify for the one you are using....

[mikehawk]

/me clicks install. Works perfect.

Thanks for the mod tnguy3n .... creative

Vietnam flag has the wrong image. Please update your flags folder with this image http://www.appliedlanguage.com/flags_of_the_world/tiny_flag_of_vietnam.gif

[JeffreySmith]

This might be crazy to most of you, but when I try to extract the flags folder to my flags folder under forum/images/flags I get nothing in the folder when I try to open it up. Is there something I am missing. I dont wanna have to create a page for each flag and hyperlink them one by one. What am I doing wrong?

so how did you solve it?

[tnguy3n]

modify the right template.
If you use Legacy Postbit Style, modify postbit_legacy template; otherwise, modify the postbit one.

couldn't get it to show up... :/ probably I have to many mods or something

A question (I don't think it has been covered yet). Got this working, set the field to display in the memberlist. There's now a column for Home Country in the column list, but is what I want. But it does has the text for the country name instead of the flag. Is there a way to have it just display the flag image?

[Funboy]

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

all I can find is it within vbulletin-style.xml which was my old install folder which can not be right?

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

I no under AdminCP you can change the Style & Language Settings as follows,

Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template
If you prefer the old-style postbit, using two vertical columns rather than the new horizontal layout, you can switch back to using that template with this switch.

Please note that if you enable this option and wish to customize the template, you should edit the 'postbit_legacy' template rather than the 'postbit'.

which then changes the layout but is 'postbit_legacy' now called postbit_alt ?

[Funboy]

OK being a MAJOR THICK O HERE!

Was looking in Dreamweaver at the templates instead of AdminCP as this was the way we did stuff on my old board.

Very sorry to all for taking up your time.

quick note:

Philipines flag wasn't showing... then I noticed:

image name is: Philippines.gif and yet the path pointed to "Philippine.gif"
(http://www.MYSITE.com/forums/images/flags/Philippine.gif)

(I don't know how to update the code, so I changed the image title to philippine.gif to get it to work.... but the proper name should be philippineS with an "s".)

If you just want the country name to show up, then you just add the following syntax

Find:
<div class="info">$post[musername] is $post[onlinestatus] </div>

ADD BELOW: where you find sweetable
<if condition="$post['fieldX']"><div class="info">$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[fieldX]</div></if>

REMEMBER to replace the "X" whit the field number as describet in the original script

[putergirl]

how about make chanage in both postbit and postbit_legacy templates. :)
hello, I tried making the changes to both postbit and postbit legacy and still no flag shows up. Here is what I did:


Step one completed as stated

Step two:
<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
<if condition="$post[field5] != ''"><div>
Country: <img src="images/flags/$post[field5].gif" title="$post[field5]" align="center">
</div></if>

<!-- Change X to the field id. -->
Am I supposed to change 3 X's?


flag folder added: Forum/images/flags

Help?

[putergirl]

anyone? :)

[Muscolino]

Do you get the bit that says 'Country:'? If so I'd guess you are either added the wrong fieldID or you put the flags in the wrong location.

If you haven't even got 'Country:' displayed then I suggest you start from the beginning and go through the installation again.

[SHalliday]

Thank you. Just want I was looking for. Now all we need are state and province flags :)

Flag won't show up after I edited postbit-legacy template?

Here is the code. field5 is the correct field #. I uploaded the flags directory to [forum root]/images/.

Did you just copy that sentance out of my request in the request section? Its word for word the same :o

Regardless of that, it sounds like there is a demand for this from several people, i would REALLY appreciate it if someone could take the time to find out how to add it next to the username next to the latest posts on forum home and latest posts when viewing inside a forum.

how to add it next to the username next to the latest posts on forum home
Not possible on a stock vB forum. Extensive hacking would have to happen first.

[GNDI]

I don't know about the support, but I do know this:

If you follow the guide in the top of this page, it will work for you.

I did make an alternative guide to this hack, in case you should like to get the country name to show, instead of the flags. Just look on a earlier page.

Follow the instruction step by step on this modifikation, and all will work :)

Glad to hear that this works in 3.6.2!

[KenDude]

I followed the instructions verbatim, added in the new user field (field8 in my case) and modified the template cutting and pasting in and replacing the 3 X's with 8's and when I go view posts I don't see the user's country, even my own. The .gif files are in /image/flags where they are supposed to be. Any idea what went wrong?

Forum is at www.caymanclub.net

Thanks!

[GNDI]

there are more than 3 x's to replace :) look at it again you might find a few more x's :)

[Paul_d_g]

Looks like you fixed it as you do have the flags now

[KenDude]

The problem wasn't the three places the problem is that I'm not using the legacy template, that's not what gets installed by default, I found the default template and modified it and now it works.

[perfphysio]

OK, my forum shows the falgs nicely on the userCP and now on the members list. But what I would like is the flag to show under their usertitle whc you are viewing a posting made by that user on the /showthread.php page of the forum.

Can you please advise how and where to get the flag to show at this level as well. This makes it better for advising someone directly when reading their post on an international forum. many thanks

Add class="inlineimg" right after the src="whatever" in the image link. ;)

thanks for this tip but the flags are still not lined up as they should be next to the usernames.

any suggestion please..
many thanks

How can I have the name of the countries with special characters in their own language?

E.g., country option Espa?a should go with flag image espana.gif

Is it possible to do it with cyrillic instead of latin characters?

[Chadi]

Any way to have this show the country in text instead of gif icon?

[pcsb23]

Just installed it on a vB 3.6 forum, worked perfectly thanks.

Perhaps you should move it up to the 3.6 area?

[nogerorob]

Hey I just installed this. I didn't realize I needed to modify both postbit and postbit legacy at first. It works in 3.6. Thanks so much.

[Funky Diver]

Excellent... fits the bill perfectly :D

[Eagle Eyes]

Flags are uneven, anybody got better flags?

Three or four things...

1. This is my first post on this board ever... Greetings :)

2. I liked the included flags pretty well, and was greatful just to find this (thanks tnguy3N). In truth though, what I really wanted was a consistently-sized set of flag icons that would fit OK on a single line or in a table (I have non-VB pages I want to display them on too). I spent a while surfing for another set, but didn't find anything that I particularly liked. So... I played around with the original flags from this mod and found that they resize pretty well in Photoshop to a consistent 26x14 pixels. There are only a couple/three flags I'm not sure I want to resize in width (might be noticeable).

3. Two things came up while working with my custom flag set. When saving my new files Photoshop warned me about keeping file name lengths to 31 characters or less for certain MAC browser compatibility. It also replaced the spaces in the file names with dashes by default.

I've seen a couple references on the web that using spaces in filenames is risky. Am I being paranoid, or has anyone else run into problems with spaces or filename length lately?

(Also see sample icons in the size I'm working on to see if you like...)

[Foxsake]

Did you just copy that sentance out of my request in the request section? Its word for word the same :o

Regardless of that, it sounds like there is a demand for this from several people, i would REALLY appreciate it if someone could take the time to find out how to add it next to the username next to the latest posts on forum home and latest posts when viewing inside a forum.

Did this ever get resolved? - i like this idea

[Foxsake]

Anyone???

[akulion]

thanks works wonderfully on 3.6.4

How can I have the name of the countries with special characters in their own language?

E.g., country option Espa?a should go with flag image espana.gifWhat about this? I would like to name the image thueringen.gif, but in tooltip it shows Th?ringen.
Is it possible?

[Cornie]

Nimm statts "Thüringen" ..............."Thueringen. Sonst geht es wohl nicht.
Hast Du zufällig die Flaggen aller Bundesländer?

[jazde86]

Hmm, das will ich doch gerade nicht. So l?uft es derzeit ja schon bei mir.

Und japps, ich habe jegliche Flaggen von D, AU, CH. :D

[Cornie]

Sch?n f?r Dich, h?ttest ja gleich sagen k?nnen das Du sie bei vbhacks eingestellt hast.:p :D

[Chadi]

Does anyone have high quality replacement icons that are one size as well?

[Chadi]

If you just want the country name to show up, then you just add the following syntax

Find:
<div class="info">$post[musername] is $post[onlinestatus] </div>ADD BELOW: where you find sweetable
<if condition="$post['fieldX']"><div class="info">$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[fieldX]</div></if>REMEMBER to replace the "X" whit the field number as describet in the original script

I tried this, cleared cache and still shows the icons???

[perfphysio]

I would still like to know which template and how to add the flag under or next to the users name when it appears at the top of a posting. At the moment you can only see the flag if you click on their profile. It woulbe be much nicer to see it at the point of reading their thread.

Can someone please help me to achieve this

thanks a lot :)

[John Diver]

My new registrations on my forum are being put into the first country instead of being left blank, anyone know what could be wrong?

[John Diver]

Anyone know?

Thanks :)

[zaphrod]

My new registrations on my forum are being put into the first country instead of being left blank, anyone know what could be wrong?

Sounds like the default is not setting correctly. While it says

Set Default: Yes, Including a First Blank Option

I found that if I set none, it will give the users the option to leave the field blank if they want.

[WebmasterSimds]

You should update this to say that this works with 3.6.5 as well. I aded it and it is working perfectly. thanks for this.

[McMendo]

How about removing the flag of "supported"?

[deezelpope]

Installed! Very nice...thank you!:up:

[Dj megas]

Post them here please.
Thank youI post a sample here that i find in a forum

[odie3]

I seem to be missing where the download files are [flag gifs/flag_list.txt]. I am I over looking it?

Edit: I found this attachment on the forums... it has the gifs and text file to import and I follow the directions from this thread [not the ones in the zip file I am attaching].

[Dj megas]

I have the regular ones like the ones are posted above.
Thank you

[qcho]

Here you have the different IMG ALIGN values to put the flag in the correct place:

http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Test/Img/imgtest.html

You can use it like this:

FIND:
$post[fieldX]" align="center">

REPLACE WITH
$post[fieldX]" align="xxxxx">

where "xxxxx" is one of the following:

top
texttop
middle
absmiddle
baseline
bottom
absbottom

texttop worked for me.

[onlinedesi]

[deezelpope]

Text file for what? The instructions are right up above.

[aceofspades]

There is no flags_list.txt ([copy and paste list of countries in flags_list.txt to this option field])

Can someone post the contents of the flags_list.txt and the flag images please.

[odie3]

One page back - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1223039&postcount=180

[deezelpope]

Thanks Odie! I knew they were here...just wasn't sure which page!:up:

[aceofspades]

Thanks guys

[odie3]

Thanks Odie! I knew they were here...just wasn't sure which page!:up:

No problem, I found those needed files in a a completely different thread on these forums - I search for sometime for them a week or so ago.

Glad I could be of help!

[tutusinghsohi]

cant find the file>....:(

[perfphysio]

Hi guys. OK, this is perhaps the 4th time I have posted this request. I find the flags and country are great in the users public profile. But what we really need it also this same display on their actual posts.

I have made a screen shot of an actualy users profile page with the UK flag.

I have then made a mock of this mod on an actual post by this user.

CAN you PLEASE tell us how to add this to the actual post by each user.

See attached screen shots

many thanks

[FreshPrince]

I just want to let y'all know, that I followed the instructions and modified postbit_legacy, like the instructions said. Nothing happened. I performed the instructions on just postbit, and it worked.

Thank you for this mod. It is great. :)

[Adam21]

Works great on 367pl1 too :)

*Thumbs Up*

[Yours]

No file is uploaded.......................

[deezelpope]

Read through this thread...:rolleyes:

[Ranger375]

Just to let you know, it screws up the multiquote feature in 3.6.7 pl1

Reverting the post bit template seemed to fix it, so Im guessing that was the problem.

[perfphysio]

okie, this add-on is written as requested by bofo.

#------------------

Addon to show countryflag in Memberlist

Open memberlist_resultbit template,

FIND:

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[musername]</a>

BELOW, ADD:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX] != ''"> <img src="images/flags/$userinfo[fieldX].gif" title="$userinfo[fieldX]" align="center"></if>



How about an edit in the members signature that appears next to the actual post? Where to you make this change. This flag thing is great but really the most impt place to put is is with the users signature, not just on their profile page

[Nordraserei]

Any way to make it appear with the country name in it too? For example, instead of just the Danish flag, if it could be [Flag] Denmark?

[Stifmeister2]

Yes.


Instead of
<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX] != ''"><div>
Country: <img src="images/flags/$userinfo[fieldX].gif" title="$userinfo[fieldX]" align="center">
</div></if>


Use this:
<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX] != ''"><div>
<img src="images/flags/$userinfo[fieldX].gif" title="$userinfo[fieldX]" align="center"> $userinfo[fieldX]
</div></if>

Hope that helps. :)
