You don't want to add /flags. Just want to be sure /images/misc is correct.

they are..did you see the link i pmed you?

Fixed!!!!! Thanks!

installed. am loving the gla_test.php page. very VERY informative and helpful.

i installed this to use your coutry display for who's online thing. looking foward to it. :D

* smacks himself *

lol, I read this multiple times to post here on database issues and I still put it in the other thread.

Anyways did we switch databases for the GLA system or do I just look at the install.txt file to see how to make changes to IP addresses and such?

Here was my comment in the other thread:

This is ace! Thanks.

I may have missed it, and apologies if so, but has anyone written a 'show in postbit' mod?

:)

Ok, after looking through this thread I see that you have switched to a different database with the ZIP File mid thread. I've dl'd it and will check it out. Hopefully that should fix my issues with my own flag not showing up.

Aside from that I'm wondering on the Country Titles; is that information pulled from the GLA as well, or is it something we can edit? Meaning is it coming from a database of sorts, or can we name countries whatever we wanted, if we for some reason wanted to correct an error? < mainly hypothetical here

I installed the package, and edited the lines. How do I get into the Preferences, and get it running> I can't seem to find it anywhere in the Admin CP.

Yes, I have. It will work with the next version of GLA (1.1), but both mods are currently not released because I haven't finished them yet - the real world keeps getting in the way.

Your own flag may still not show up using different databases. These listings are not 100% perfect and depend very much on registrars recording this information correctly (they often do not).

The country titles are recorded in the database itself. If you wanted to write a script that did a replacement of the country names you could go ahead and do that, but the country names are written in their by the registrars themselves. In GLA 1.1 I've written some code which strips out comments which are sometimes inserted after country names in brackets. I did this because I often saw unnecessary explanations for certain countries - often with spelling errors.

GLA itself has no preferences, however other mods that use GLA might. It does come with a test script however. Please refer to the instructions at the top of this page, as well as the documentation that comes with GLA to understand how this works. Please remember to click "Install" if you'd like to get support.

is there any update for ip-table? because some ip's are dont resolve...thanks:up:

Please read through the previous messages on this thread and you'll find a database update.

Help with me this is not indicated in wiw

Well my test shows up ok
BUT
Even though i have all the flags loaded in the correct places, it is not picking them up!!!

Any idea why? It loaded the DB successfully etc...just the flags themselves have errors :(

Is it because I have 3.6.8?

Also nothing showing up on my pages :(

I have everything installed, however it is not indicated in wiw. Help

It's not because of 3.6.8, I have that and they work on my who's online screen.

For some reason and I would have to ask my coder we have the flags in a main section, and then in every style's Misc folder in the FTP.

------------------------------

I have noticed 2 days in a row now someone from the European Union at my site. I didn't have the flag for it, but have installed

eu.png

In my flag folders and so hopefully it should pick that up from now on. I just need an EU person to stop by so I can see it.

Same problem here, error stating flags are not there but I know they are.

Another problem.

Some users from the UK get an American flag???

Much like clothahump above I've installed the 'Country Display for Who's Online' mod and although it works perfectly I've got a lot less than a 98% accuracy rate from this GLA plug-in. I've got over 15% of the users I know to be based in the UK appearing as USA.

Is there a newer update of the 'ip-to-country.csv' than the '1.0 (07.07.07)' initial version downloadable in this Mod?

Many thanks.
Ron

Probably AOL users showing up on an AOL proxy.

Thanks, I realise where the problem lies so it actually makes GLA useless, uninstalled until it works properly.

As you can see, it is not finding some of the files. The issue is that all of these styles are using the EXACT same misc folder. How is it that the test sees the ones in one style, but not the others?

I got a similar error when I ran the GLA check but I didn't have the images in my other styles. So I made a symlink to the flags directory and the visual checks worked out just fine but the text did not say ok. I don't think it really matters.

Works fine so far on 3.7

The weird thing is that all the styles use the exact same images folder. So how can one style pass the check and the rest fail?

I posted my question over a week ago. I don't think this hack has any support at all.

If you read the previous page, and also the hack description you'll see that "The author of this modification has passed away in a diving accident" Kinda puts things into perspective ...

Ouch. I guess it does. Thanks for the info.

Thank kind of info should be placed in the first post. Maybe the vbulletin.org admins should do this.

Soory if i put this in the wrong place, but im shocked. I was here getting information about this plugin and this next sunday i will do my first "deep" dive to 25 meters, i'm a beginner diver and VB admin, and you can imagine. I was trilled before, now i thing i will not do it.

I've just granted permission to another coder who has agreed to take over the code from Mark's mods (like this one) and keep them up to date and free to all, which should be good news for all of you who use his mods and allow his legacy to continue.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/public_html/forum/gla_test.php on line 177

any idea please?

no reply better to uninstall this

can anybody tell me how to translate names of the country
for expamle i want to translate
Bosnia And Herzegovinia to Bosna i Hercegovina

This works fine in 3.8.0 Beta 1

I noticed the IP tables haven't been updated in over a year, so I updated them if anybody wants it.

Updated via info obtained from http://software77.net/cgi-bin/ip-country/geo-ip.pl

Thanks! Upload to main forum directory, correct?

My business connection is down and I'm on dialup so it will be a while before I can try to update this - What do we do? Upload the ip-to-country.csv file and then re-import the 'product' xml file?

Correct

Thanks! My cable connection came back up about 20 minutes ago so I'll do it right now.

Again, my thanks for posting the updated data!

I'm having problems with this installation. I've followed all the instructions but when I run the test it's telling me the flag images are not uploaded but they are?

Testing to see if the flag from country "ad" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forum/images/misc/flags/

Any ideas please.

Thanks
