Country Flag Hack v2.0

UPDATED TO v2.1 - 3/11/2002

Version 2.1 - March 11, 2002
================================================== ==
Well, it's been awhile! I sorta disappeared there while
doing many other things! I guess v2.0 that was supposed
to use the same images as vBStats didn't go as planned
(thanks Bane ). I removed this hack from my site
awhile ago when I was having some other problems. I have
finally decided to add it back and it worked great in 2.2.0,
and I'm sure it will work in all other 2.2.x versions.

Changes:
- Updated to work with vBulletin 2.2.x
- Added Display Flag in Member List - Thanks Orca
- Used slightly larger flag images by X-Fan (I did run
them through Ulead's 16-color optimization which cut
the total file size from 271K to 54K!)
- Added 'align="absmiddle"' to image tag for text vertical centering
- Fixed Bane's name in docs below where I botched it up!
- Support for 280 Countries


Version 2.0 - September 6, 2001
================================================== ==
Changes from v1.0:
- Images have been changed from country codes to country names
- Flags will now have their ALT text as country name.
- Modified Hack to work with Bane's vbStats hack that will be released in the future.
- Added CP Addon by Stasik and modded it for new country names
- Changed country field in USER table from CHAR(2) to VARCHAR(50)
- Support for 226 countries

Known Problems:
- Countries with a dash (-) or comma (,) will not show up
automatically in as selected when you or the member edit
their profile (Congo, Korea, and Micronesia are the only 3)
Anyone know a fix please let me know.
- The 'modifyprofile_country' template needs to be changed
to a default original templatesetid of -1 (changed templates
have the templatesetid set to 2) or else the Admin CP addon
will not work (Any ideas why?). To do this, use phpMyAdmin
and run this query:
UPDATE template SET templatesetid="-1" where title="modifyprofile_country"
This will move the template from the custom to default templates
and will be found in the 'User Option Templates' group.

Any questions or comments can be posted here. Enjoy!

Most of it works fine on my 2.2.4, will display flags for old members no problems.

Whenever I try to logout or view a member profile I get a parse error in member.php, line 500 and something. Everything seems to be replaced and added OK, and I thought I'd followed all instructions. I don't have access to anything other than notepad to count the lines. Before I count them all on the screen, anyone got any ideas on what might be causing this?

Try using NoteTab ,a well good replacement for Notepad.

I noticed a syntax error...

4 - Open member.php

find:
$templatesused .= "register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,regist er_customfields,usercpnav,modifyprofile";

Should be :

4 - Open member.php

find:

PHP Code:

$templatesused = 'register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,register_customfields,usercpnav,modifyprofile';

Another one :

// Country Hack Replace
// $templatesused .= "register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,regist er_customfields,usercpnav,modifyprofile";
$templatesused .= "register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,modify profile_country,register_customfields,usercpnav,mo difyprofile";
// Country Hack End

Should be :

PHP Code:

  // Country Hack Replace
//   $templatesused = 'register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,register_customfields,usercpnav,modifyprofile';
  $templatesused = 'register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,modifyprofile_country,register_customfields,usercpnav,modifyprofile';
// Country Hack End

eval("\$customtext.= \"".gettemplate("modifyprofile_customtext")."\";") ;
}
}

Should be :

PHP Code:

      eval("\$customtext = "".gettemplate("modifyprofile_customtext")."";");
    }
  }

I think that is all the syntax errors there were...

Defnitely works on 2.2.5.

I'm going to miss this in vb3.0. I hope it is ported!
