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.

I've just granted permission to another coder who has agreed to take over the code from Mark's mods (like this one) and keep them up to date and free to all, which should be good news for all of you who use his mods and allow his legacy to continue.

Firstly, My Condolances to the coders's family.


I am running 3.6.8 PL2 And it is NOT working for me. i am not seeing anything at all.

Now, I have read right through this thread and the only thing that I can't find is the following that is supposed to be WHOSONLINE and whosonlinebit:

<if condition="$vboptions['showimicons']">

Not even with a trailing '</if>

I have followed the instructions to the. 'Tee', even tried a second time to make sure. But still, it didn't work for me.

The following are screen shots to show that I have checked all possible avenues, BEFORE posting for help....
