Works for me

But what was the line you didn't found?

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

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[field2]">Location: $post[field2]</if> 


with this

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[field18]"><img src="images/flags/$post[field18].gif" border="0" alt="$post[field18]" /></if> 


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 ?

[ChuanSE]

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.
