Country flag hack?
 

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27485" target="_blank">vb2 hack</a>. Is anyone working on this for hack for vb3? Anyone interested in doing it? Anyone else interested in having it????

Yeah I would be interested too

Star

Found it, here!

Darn, the link is broke and I cant find it anywhere? Anyone have any ideas?

I need this one to :/
it used to be on vbt, but seems it was removed :(

Yeh, there was a sh*tload of threads removed from vbt, don't know why. I asked the Mods but they don't seem bothered about it :(

I saved the zip for this hack anyhoo, it's attached, hope it helps!

G :)

NICE.

Thanks a lot.

GREAT, I love you for this ;) hehehe

Btw, if someone is interested in flags with all the same size (30x15)....
The ones in the mod have different sizes.

Does anyone know which template we are supposed to be editing this in in vB3? The directions say "postbit_userinfo", but there is no template called that.

I think it is postbit_legacy.

Let us know, please.

A search for the line mentioned in the hack said "Not Found" so Im guessing that wasn't it. Any other ideas?

postbit or postbit_legacy, depends which style postbit you are using, put it where you want...

Perhaps the line to edit has changed. I cant seem to find this code. Can someone help me with this? I have searched in all the mentioned templates above and nothing. :(

is there a hack to allow you to add more than 30 countries?

If you're using RCx then you can use as many countries as you like, that restriction was removed a while ago :D

Any ideas on my last question?

bumping this up

Roody,

if you want the flags to appear in the new postbit style, you add the code to "postbit" & if ya want them in the old style, you will have to add the code to "postbit_legacy".

Works for me ;)

But what was the line you didn't found?

btw, i add a little tweak to the img link so that if you hoover over the flag, it doesn't say country but it says the countryname.

this is the normal line:

this is what i changed it to:

So this way it pops up the countryname when hoovering over the flag :)
just a simple alt tag...

When I get back to my house I will check it out again and let you know if I have any issues.

:)

Yay! The flag hack is here! I am using vb3Gold. Are there any changes for this?

Also, if I want to replace the "Location:" with the flag, what do I need to do?

PS: I tried it and dont see where to enter the different flags in the profile.

That would be rather easy to do :)

replace this

with this

the field2 stands for the field location ppl fill in with registration, field 18 stands for the flag field i created for my board, so you'll have to check the fieldnumber in your admincp (registration options)...

Hi ChuanSE! Will that show the flag then the location? EX:

[USA flag] California

Right now I cant seem to get the flag to show. In VB3G, Where is the options field ?

I think you didn't really followed the install instructions...
Delete the user profile field and start over ;)

this is what it should look like in admincp:

Lemme know if it works out :)

You chose the wrong type of field, make sure you set it up as "Single-Selection Menu".

Oops! Thank you, TheMasterG. I selected the single text instead. It works now.

PS: Thanks to ChuanSE, too. :p ;)

Hehe :p

Works great, thanks a bunch!

attached the flags of all 50 US states and some 5 misc flags

great hack .. thanks a lot

my community loves it

some canadian flags this time

i thought it was about COUNTRY flags :p

This tweak works nice!

YES, but two should be edited depending on wether you use the side or top style info.

They should be postbit and postbit_legacy.

Also, vB 3.01 FIXES the 32 line drop down limit.

Just curious. It seems that whatever I do, the user is prompted with the first item in the list of countries. What I want to accomplish is for the user to see a blank country resulting in an error if they do not select one from the list.

I have also tried insert a blank line at the beginning as well.

Thanks! :)

I don't know if my setup on 3.01 wil help you.
I used "Yes, but leave a blank space."

I am using 3.01 and I tried both options. Both presents the first item in the list even if I include a blank line at the top. :S

Is anyone that is using this hack able to present the user with a BLANK entry while requiring the user to SELECT a NON-BLANK selection before continuing? :)

Additionally, for those of us using this hack, it would be helpful if when a user comes to the site AND has NOT yet made his selection of a country be PROMPTED to make his selection BEFORE continuing to use the site. I recall in a previous version of vB this being possible. I'll go fish a bit more on this as well.

ooohhh... yah.... cuz after the vb3 upgrade... everyone will lose the vb2 hack with their flag so they should be prompted to update their info...

any update on this?
