Add-On Releases - Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 4.0.x (Inc GO

Description:

This Add on, gives a selection of Countries that your Member (New or Existing) can choose from in a 'Drop-Down Menu'. The Country he/she selects, will be displayed as a Flag in their Postbit.

Credit for the Flags goes to Cobro. (I have renamed each and every flag to work with this Mod).


Instructions:

Firstly ?Upload? ALL the Flag GIF pics to your forum root /images/buttons/flags folder.

IE: yourforumaddress.com/forum/images/buttons/flags

Please Note: Due to the flags folder being too large to upload as one - I have been forced to upload it as "flags1", "flags2" and "flags3" - Please ensure that you add a new folder to "images/buttons/" and name it "flags". Please copy the contents of ALL THREE (3) flags folders in the attachment below to the new 'flags' folder that you have just made. (DO NOT place them as 3 seperate folders!"


Then in your Admin Control Panel (ACP), please do the following:
ACP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field ->Profile Field Type -> Single-Selection Menu (select ?Single-Selection Menu? from the Drop-Down Menu) -> Please enter the following into the following fields (REMEMBER to make a note of the FieldID, because you will need to replace ALL the X?s in [fieldX] with it!!!
(Please see 'FieldID.jpg' attachment below).

Add New User Profile Field Single-Selection Menu:

Title = Country Flag
Description = Add your country flag to your profile:
Profile Field Category = (Uncategorized)
Options = Copy & Paste the Whole contents of the file attached below (OPTIONS)
Set Default = None
Display Order = You Select this (dependant on how many you already have)
Field Required = yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User = Yes
Private Field = No
Field Searchable on Members List = No
Show on Members List = Yes


Optional Input:

Allow user to input their own value for this option = No
Max length of allowed user input = 100
Field Length = 25
Regular Expression = Leave this Blank


Display Page:

Which page displays this option? = Edit Your Details ** Please note that the vB4.0.4 Version does not show this option. Please select "Edit Profile" option. The selct your country flag option, I can confirm, Also shows on registration too.
** SAVE **


Then, In your Admin Control Panel (ACP)...

ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> <<>> -> Postbit Templates -> select the template that you use (ie Postbit or Posbit_legacy) ? This is for the Postbit_Legacy?

FIND:

                    <span class="usertitle">
                        {vb:raw post.usertitle}
                    </span>

If you would like to place it under your number of user posts (to the right of your Postbit) then look for:

<dt>{vb:rawphrase posts}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.posts}</dd>

(upto vB4.0.5) ADD BELOW:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Country:</dt> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" alt="Users Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if>
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

(for vB4.0.6 AND 4.0.7) ADD BELLOW:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Country</dt> <img src="http://www.YOURFORUM ADDRESS.com/forum/images/buttons/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" alt="This is {vb:raw post.username}'s Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if></p>
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

(Also adds the Username to the 'alt' Code on Mouseover).

(for vB4.0.8):

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"><style="text-align:left"> Country:</dt> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" align="middle" alt="Users Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if>  
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

(Thanks to Krusty1231 for this).

(for vB4.1.0 , 4.1.0 PL2 & 4.1.1)

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"><style="text-align:left"> Country:</dt> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" align="middle" alt="{vb:raw post.fieldX}" border="" /></vb:if>  
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

Even though I have not tested this in these versions, others have and have reported this mod to be working in them.[/B]

Please make sure the style and template edits are still there. Just one of the people can be seen on post 350

This is not a state of Palestine, and the file has only 200 countries, and the Olympics has more than 300. But other than that, this is excellent. Thank you, I motioned installed. Happy Hanukkah

Has anyone had any luck getting this mod to work with the postbit collapser mod?

Working fine except on one of my themes and this is happening:



No image is showing, only the name of the country.

I had to copy the code into 'Postbit'. I tried 'Postbit Legacy' and tried searching for '<dt>{vb:rawphrase posts}</dt>' but it wasn't found.

Can anyone help please as this is our default skin?

Works on 4.2pl3, had to muck about with the placement of the code a bit to get it where I want it.

Still have a problem where with small avatars it puts the image immediately to the right of them, can't seem to sort that out.

Have you uploaded the flags to your correct folder. They should be in

/images/styles/CreativeCreature/buttons/flags

As long as the field has the same name as the gif, then that's all that's needed.
