i hope you will get the rest of it, how to use the installer-uninstaller.
if you are not sure, erwin will be able to smack you in the head... heh, with explanations on how to use it. ;)

can anyone assist me this...im am still lost...

Anyone get this to work with vb 2.2.9?

I can't get past the member.php file before the code blows up!

Works fine from 2.2.1 all the way to 2.2.9 on my forums.
Tip: Remember, EACH time you upgrade, you need to add the modifyprofile_country template AGAIN, and run the db query AGAIN.

I did that part already, but the member.php file fowls up everything right after uploading the file!

Someone willing to share their file with me?

Firstly great hack and althought installation steps are a little bit long, it works ok in v.2.2.9! Thx for sharing.. :)

And a few comments that might help some people while installing:
If these are already mentioned in the hack thread, my apologies..
VBSTATS and THIS HACK
If you use Bane's vbstat hack the image directory's of these 2 hacks clashes. To use them both, I applied such a method:

1- rename image directory of this hack to cflags and edit these files:

memberlist.php
member.php
functions.php
user.php

find: images/flags/
Replace it AS: images/cflags/

Now you can use 2 hacks together..

ASSIGNING TEMPLATE TO DEFAULT SET:
This is because vb Admin CP logins does not set $templatesetid variable.

To cure this edit user.php and find:
(There are 2 instances)

Before that add:
Now you can create your template in the default set and you dont need to run UPDATE template SET templatesetid="-1" where title="modifyprofile_country" query which will be overwritten after you upgrade your board..

Hope this helps..

Enjoy.

Ps. I dont have subscription in this thread, so do not address me here, ty..

there are subtle code differences in 2.2.9 vs the documentation for the country hack... so here's the members.php instructions to match 2.2.9

4 - Open member.php

find:
$templatesused = 'register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,regist er_customfields,usercpnav,modi fyprofile';

Replace it with
// Country Hack Replace
// $templatesused .= "register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,regist er_customfields,usercpnav,modi fyprofile";
$templatesused .= "register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,modify profile_country,register_custo mfields,usercpnav,modifyprofile";
// Country Hack End

find:
eval("\$customtext = \"".gettemplate("modifyprofile_customtext")."\";") ;
}
}
Below it add:
// Country Hack
if (!$getcountry=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT country FROM user WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]")) {
$country="";
$ctrdefaultselected = "selected";
} else {
$country="$getcountry[country]";
$countryalt = str_replace("%20"," ",$country);
$countrysel = str_replace("%20","_",$country);
$flag="<img src=\"images/flags/$country.gif\" alt=\"$countryalt\" align=\"absmiddle\" border=\"0\">";
$ctryname = "ctry".$countrysel."selected";
$$ctryname = "selected";
}
eval("\$countrytext.= \"".gettemplate("modifyprofile_country")."\";") ;
// Country Hack End

find:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='".addslashes($birthday)."',signature='". addslashes($signature)."',cust omtitle='".intval($customtitle)."',usertitle='".ad dslashes($customtext)."',email ='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',parent email='".addslashes(htmlspecia lchars($parentemail))."',coppauser='$coppauser',ho mepage='".addslashes(htmlspeci alchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspeci alchars($icq))."',aim='".addsl ashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslash es(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))." ',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

Replace it with:
// Country Hack Replace
// $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='".addslashes($birthday)."',signature='". addslashes($signature)."',cust omtitle='".intval($customtitle)."',usertitle='".ad dslashes($customtext)."',email ='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',parent email='".addslashes(htmlspecia lchars($parentemail))."',coppauser='$coppauser',ho mepage='".addslashes(htmlspeci alchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspeci alchars($icq))."',aim='".addsl ashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslash es(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))." ',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='".addslashes($birthday)."',signature='". addslashes($signature)."',cust omtitle='".intval($customtitle)."',usertitle='".ad dslashes($customtext)."',email ='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',parent email='".addslashes(htmlspecia lchars($parentemail))."',coppauser='$coppauser',ho mepage='".addslashes(htmlspeci alchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspeci alchars($icq))."',aim='".addsl ashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslash es(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))." ',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]',country='".addslashes($country)."' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
// Country Hack End

find:
if ($userinfo[yahoo]!="") {
eval("\$userinfo[yahooicon] = \"".gettemplate("yahoo")."\";");
} else {
$userinfo[yahoo]="&nbsp;";
}

Below it add:
// Country Hack
$getctry=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT country FROM user WHERE userid=$userid");
$country=$getctry[country];
$countryalt = str_replace("%20"," ",$country);
if ($country!="") {
$flag = "<img src=\"images/flags/$country.gif\" alt=\"$countryalt\" align=\"absmiddle\" border=\"0\">";
} else {
$flag = "";
}
// Country Hack End

BINGO! ... that worked like a charm!

Thanks, you two! :D

Hey everyone, I'm new to vB, I pruchased it yesterday, and I would really like this hack. I'm so unfamiliar with all of these hacks but I am trying to learn.

Would someone be able to possibly help me install this hack?

Thanks a lot
