Country Display for Who's Online

What does this do?

It adds another column to your Who's Online display, with the country where the user is logging on from. You can choose either the name, the flag or both. You can also decide which users can see this information.

How about a quick summary of features?

Country display can be admin/moderator only, or available for everyone to see
You can display the country name, a flag, or both. You can use alternative flag sets if you want
Adds minimal overhead, no additional queries
Works on 3.6.6, 3.6.7 and should work for future versions as well. Will not work on versions prior to this. There is a manual file hack for previous versions here (unsupported).
Country information is provided by the GLA (Geographic Location Awareness) mod. Therefore updates to GLA will automatically provide improvements to any mod using GLA.

How do I install?

1. Install GLA first. You can find it here. It's easy and takes a minute.
2. Download and install the enclosed .xml file via adminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product -> Import.

How do I configure it?

By default it will display only the country name to admin, super moderators and moderators. You can change this under vBulletin Options -> Who's Online Options. Be sure to check these options and click "save", even if you haven't changed anything. See attached screenshots.

Before posting on this thread:

If your issue concerns questions about country detection, the accuracy of the database, etc - please post your question on the GLA thread instead. Please only post issues here concerning the Who's Online display itself.

Please click install. Support requests from people who have not clicked install may not be answered.

Check the GLA thread - it's a GLA issue since not every IP address is found in the database.
