GLA - Geographic Location Awareness for vBulletin What does this do? GLA adds an additional layer of information into your vBulletin site (visitors' country name). GLA doesn't output anything to the user, or change any display on your forum, it simply adds additional information which is then available to other programs or mods. But what can I use it for? There are many applications, but the main idea is that this mod enables other mod writers to very easily add location awareness functions into their own mods. If you were thinking of writing a mod to display a person's registration country in the postbit, it's now very easy to do. Why should I download and install this? Unless you are also going to install one of the other mods which requires GLA, there isn't much point. If you are a developer, you might install this to add functionality to your own mods. How will I update this? Easy - you can update the database used for matching country names to IP addresses yourself - it's very easy. Full instructions are provided in the install.txt file inside the zip file. How do I install? Download the zip file and look for install.txt. But basically it's easy - upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum directory, and import the enclosed .xml file. That's it. How do I know if it is working? A test script is provided that will test every aspect of your GLA installation to inform you of any potential problems. Please see the installation instructions for information about this test script. What about flags? This includes flags, meaning that other mods won't have to package flags. You can change the flags if you like, instructions are provided. How about a quick summary of features?
Yes, a list will be maintained here. Please let me know if you find a mod which requires GLA that isn't listed, so I can add it. The current list of GLA mods is as follows:
Please post on this thread only for issues relating to GLA itself. If you have an issue that concerns a mod that uses GLA, please post on the appropriate thread for that mod. If you have an issue which concerns the underlying functionality of GLA itself, then post here. Even though this is a required mod from another mod and may be fairly boring, please click install if you are using it. Support requests from people who have not clicked install may not be answered. No screen shots for this mod, since there's nothing to see. Version history 1.0 (07.07.07) Initial version Show Your Support

I am getting an error when running gla_test.php
------------------------------- Testing to see if the flag from country "ad" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forums/images/misc/flags/ Testing to see if the flag from country "zw" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forums/images/misc/flags/ Visual check - two flags should be visible: Style: Style1 Testing to see if the flag from country "ad" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forums/images/misc/flags/ Testing to see if the flag from country "zw" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forums/images/misc/flags/ Visual check - two flags should be visible: Style: Style2 Testing to see if the flag from country "ad" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forums/images/misc/flags/ Testing to see if the flag from country "zw" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forums/images/misc/flags/ Visual check - two flags should be visible: Style: Style3 Testing to see if the flag from country "ad" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forums/images/misc/flags/ Testing to see if the flag from country "zw" is present: Failed - Flag file not found in /forums/images/misc/flags/ Visual check - two flags should be visible: Style: Style4 Testing to see if the flag from country "ad" is present: OK - Flag file found in correct directory Testing to see if the flag from country "zw" is present: OK - Flag file found in correct directory Visual check - two flags should be visible: ------------------------------- As you can see, it is not finding some of the files. The issue is that all of these styles are using the EXACT same misc folder. How is it that the test sees the ones in one style, but not the others? |

I got a similar error when I ran the GLA check but I didn't have the images in my other styles. So I made a symlink to the flags directory and the visual checks worked out just fine but the text did not say ok. I don't think it really matters.
Works fine so far on 3.7 |

The weird thing is that all the styles use the exact same images folder. So how can one style pass the check and the rest fail?
I posted my question over a week ago. I don't think this hack has any support at all. |

If you read the previous page, and also the hack description you'll see that "The author of this modification has passed away in a diving accident" Kinda puts things into perspective ...
