yes

When I go to step 3 of the installation :

3 - Open showthread.php (or admin/functions.php for v2.0.3)

find:
$post[joindate]=vbdate($registereddateformat,$post[joindate]);

Just above add:
// Country Hack
if (!$post[country]) {
$flag = "";
} else {
$Country=$post[country];
$Countryalt = str_replace("%20"," ",$Country);
$flag = "<img src=\"images/flags/$Country.gif\" alt=\"$Countryalt\" border=\"0\">";
}
// Country Hack End

I can't find the line that I need to search for !!!!!!
I work with VB2.2.0
Please HELP!

put it right under this

I have done everything what is written in this thread and got only errors.

I uninstalled it and hope that there will be an new update version soon in this forum.

xug

I sent you a pm, Send your php files to me for this and I will fix them for you. E-mail address in the pm.

I sended a reply !
Thanks for all the help !

I installed :) Problem is it shows up in the profile fine but nothing shows up where I put $flag in my postbit template :(

Any ideas why not?

has anyone tried this hack for 2.2.1 ? or is it just me that can't find a couple parts in the files to modify?

Could try this I guess, I tried to do the changes when I installed on 2.2.1, I also corrected the horrible maiming of my name (Bain?) in the docs :p Lemme know how it turns out for the 2.2.1 users, this is a quick change so sorry, just put it together for a friend doing an install.


NOTE:
In the docs you will notice the following for every file edit::
This is NOT NEEDED. It is something that I do to better track the changes that I made to each file, where X = the number of changes I made to the file, and Date = the date I did it, so I can see quickly if my version is the latest. This is not in anyway necessary but my mate is about as scatterbrained as I am about these things so I included it for him.

Good luck all.

ta for the update :) installin the now :)

$post[joindate]=vbdate($registereddateformat,$post[joindate]);

I still cannot find this in adminfunctions.php :(

Try looking for it without spaces If that doesn't work try looking for its just below that.

Loox like a great hack but i dont understand one thingy that you said above. You said:
But the flags of the vbstats hack of bane have country codes and you use the country names :confused:
So we have now double images with different names or do i c this wrong? :confused:

The problem was that in the original version of the flags hack there were all lowercase flag names etc.. then these. Orignally the same system as is used here was used for vbstats however vbstats ended up being a little too popular so for language abstraction purposes I decided to make the switch to country codes. (Now its much easier to change the country names for other language users of vbstats) There is an easy way to change the image settings for flags in vbstats if you want to use the same set. Or optionally you can wait for the next release of vbstats where I will release a compatible Flag Hack if AJ isnt back yet.

Okey, that makes things clear. Do you know already the deadline of the next Vbstats release?

I got it finally working, thanks to all who did a great job here !

I thought that everything was working, but there is a little bug.

When people want to sign up and they fill up all the required information right and submit it, it will give an error message that they have to check again because something wasn't filled up right.

I did it myself also a few times and for sure I did what was required but gave me the error too.

When I installed this hack I did every file step by step and uploaded it back to my site, checked if there where no errors and all looked ok.

So I think there must be something wrong with the last file, register.php

Can please somebody advise me what this could be.

Thank you.

Yes, you got it in one. The error is in register.php, I had the same problem. Just download the updated instructions for the 2.2.1 sourcecode a few messages up kindly put together by a generous soul. Extract the original register.php from the ZIP (if needed) and then apply the instructions in step 4 all over again... upload and it *should* work. It did for me.

There are actually 3 updated sections for 2.2.1. I noticed in my previous text file that I used two different phrases to indicate changes, *** Updated for vB 2.2.1 *** AND *** Modified for vB2.2.1 ***. I just changed the text file so all 3 changes are marked by:

*** Modified for vb 2.2.1 ***

Here it is again and remember there are 3 changes. I have fully updated the affected sections with the 2.2.1 source code.

Enjoy!

Great hack, works fine on 2.20 once I had modded the register.php as mentioned.

One small issue - you don't have my country :mad: :

England.

Oh yeah, here's Wales too ;)

Great hack! I installed it one shot on 2.21.

Bane,
I would very much like the hack to use the same flags for vbStats if you mean that vbStats can use the flags with the full country name. That would be great, even if I would have to upload these, I prefer having the alt tag capability. Think I'll wait till I get a reply to this before installing but it's a great hack. Thanks!

I'd still like to hear from Bane regarding integrating with vbStats but I couldn't wait to install this one. Great job on the hack and documentation.

I'm running 2.2.1 and did your step-by-step and it went flawlessly. Guess it pays to RTFM, though I'd hate to make a habit of it. :D Thank you AJR!

Wow... I had to do a small bit of modifications to the hack to make it comply with the mood hack, gender hack and and all my other user hacks - I was getting database errors, and had to sort it out. Took a while, no one was able to register or change their profile, but I persevered, and it is now working. I made it non-compulsory when a new user registers too. I could not be bothered making any changes to the vbstats flags, so I just uploaded the long name ones.

Good job! :)

Now to try to get it working from CP...

Yup, CP is working.

Whew... :)

And the addition to the memberlist was sweet too. Thanks!

Thanks for the great hack :)

Bane it'd be great if you'd take off that faulty version of yours or at least replace it with aldamon's updated version.

Your text file had me busy for 2 hrs figuring out why people couldn't register. And that's right after I told people that my site is online. They all got knocked back, pretty embarrassing.

It's the missing 'country' string in the register.php.

I guess I didn't really understand aldamon, I thought he had just a version that indicated all the changes from 2.0.3 to 2.2.1 or something like that, which I didn't need. That's why I DL the original file.

Just trying to save other newbies from this experience.

;)

Dex

why hasnt webhost replied to the fact that the string he said is found twice in usercp.php only occurs in it once?

what are we supposed to do?

I installed this hack on 2.2.2 and the flags show fine. I had trouble with not being able to register after making changes to the register.php .. I decided to leave the register changes out and everything else is working fine. You can add flags in your edit profile still. I was getting a parse error on the very last line of the register.php file. It could have been my error because I didn't try it again, but I do plan too. This is a great hack and I'll take it anyway I can get it. Thanks!

does this work and and avatars together? or it replaces the avatars?

With avatars:)

I went back and made the changes in my register.php file again and apparently I made a mistake changing the code.. This hack is completly compatible with 2.2.2.. I have tested it thouroughly.

ok cool gonna install this then hehe :)

I have this installed for 2.21, it works great for new people, but me, I can not edit my flag and it show......any idea.....Thanks for a great hack

Have you looked at your user table in phpMyAdmin in the country field to see if its adding it to the database?

I edited it in the admin CP and it started to work...but the flag is not, so the images arent quite yet but I think it is workign )

thanks for the help :)

I got an error :surprised
