Well, i looked all over the forums but couldn't find this countryflag mod; however, i found it on vb.org instead. I wonder why did awesome hack ain't officially released here for vb members. :)

[high]* chuanse installs :D[/high]

Nice mod, installed.

For the people with spanish forums, I have modified the flags_list file to reflect the Spanish name of the countries and the images for that. I attach the flag_list and the images if you want it to be in spanish.

Just what I was looking for ! thanks ! :D

A question though, is it a must to set Display Page: Thread Viewing. Can it be on Edit Profile instead ?

same hre, some of my members are going crazy, looking for it...

cinq, could put it anywhere you want.

as for running the UPDATE `userfield` SET `fieldX` = 'Undisclosed'; query. It's unnecessary, IMO. You could have an empty field in the first line and set it as default. Then using <if condition="$post[fieldX]"> flag code here </if> would give what you want.

ok, but what would i do to put it on the Edit Profile area?

Change this option:
Display Page: Edit Profile

I went al litte further and created a gif called "Undisclosed.gif" and placed it in the flags folder on the server. I then removed the IF statement from the postbit so that it would show the undisclosed gif file as the default. The undisclosed gif is basically a small image reminding the user to update their profile :-)

Here you go-

So, all I have to do is remove that IF statement and this will work? Forgive me I am a n00b.

Yup. just use this code-


An make sure you upload the Undisclosed.gif to the same folder as the other flags.

Thanks I will give it a shot.

What if we wanted to place this next to the username in the postbit(_legacy) or the regular postbit??

You would move it to that part of the template.

well, it's optional to set all gender field in the table to Undisclosed, but if you don't run that query, it gonna show a big X on the image.

Works great, I actually have some USA State flags and added Country and State profile fields.


Let me know if you need those flags.

will this work with VB 3.0.3?

Cheers.

Yup

argh, what about the 3.0.3 users??

*sniff*

It works with 3.0.3 (look up 2 posts before yours and you will notice the same question being asked) :D

ok, I installed it, but its only showing the country name, and not the flag.

Ok, I have sorted that problem, but where do I run the query - UPDATE `userfield` SET `fieldX` = 'Undisclosed';

Cheers.

nice ... but not working .... sorry

either in your Admin CP or phpMyAdmin.
make sure to change X to your field #

Where abouts in my admin CP, I dont understand this run query, the admin CP is a big section, where do I put that code?

Done ... thx

Can somebody please give me a hand with this. It's only showing the text name of the country and not the flag. Any suggestions?

Don

Just use conditionals to not show anything if the userfield is empty.

Might be a good idea to add a jump bar in the profile field for country. Because if you type for instance: USA, the graphic shows up broken. You need to type United States for the graphic to show.

Or a link to a popup template that lists: Acceptable Country Names.

Is it possible to set the country flag entry at the bottom of the postbit? Now i have the symbols for IP, Reputation etc at the bottum, but not the country flag :eek:

btw: is it possible to change the font size of "CountrY" i think it?s a lil bit to big :s

Fin the section of your postbit_legacy template that does the ip functions (should be $post[iplogged] ) then add the postbit section of the code on a new line directly below there instead of where it states it wants it.

To make the text country smaller use class="smallfont" either within the existing <div> <font> or whatever other tags it has around it. This will then make it set to the smallfont value in your main CSS.

is it possible to put the flag in the profile page in members list?

Hi,

I have upgraded from Vb2.x to 3.x The original users country is in the user table. This mod puts it in the userfield table. How do I import the old users country data into the userfield table so everyone doesn't have to choose their country again?

Thanks!

Great Mod!!

is it possible to put the flag in the profile page in members listalso!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I am lost, where the hell do I put this so my X goes away!!!!

UPDATE `userfield` SET `fieldX` = 'Undisclosed';

OK, I got the query thing done and it working in some of my skins. Skins that I have downloaded to my server, it does not work in those, I am getting the red x's. it does work in the skins that I set up myself from the Admin cpanel, anything I downlaoded to my panel, no go! Any idea??? I have double checked all my code. I am running 3.0.3

i got it. image path on the dwnld skins is diff. upload plags to right place and all ok.

I got it setup and also added state flags for US members. If anyone wants to check it out Click Here

How can this hack be changed to allow folks to just LEAVE the field blank if they do not want a flag at all!?!?!?!?!?!
