Profile Enhancements - Flags - Country and Region

I took the code from the flag mods on older vB versions and combined the country and region flags.

Instructions for installing only the country flags without the region flags is also included.

1.01 Changes:
Corrected the spelling of california
Corrected the spelling of newfoundland
Added the flag of england to the country flags list

It just a simple template edit, so it should work with any version that uses templates and custom profile fields.

This works great for me, i want to tweak it, where are you MR CODER? I want to program it to tabulate and make statistics of how many USA flags, Canadian, UK etc.... to display on my portal page to tell members how many representitves are from hosting countries?

I followed all the instructions in your flag install country only.txt the names of the country is shown under profile name now but no flag image is showing don't know why I uploaded the images correctly via ftp to the image directly.

Any idea what I am doing wrong??

Make sure you have <img src="images/flags/$post[fieldX1].gif"> instead of just $post[fieldX1]. I had the same thing happen as I was used to doing post fields all the same way, as text.

And this is working great in 3.7.0 beta 5.

This should work on any version of vB you have. It's just a template modification. For those having trouble with it, make sure your adding the modifications to the right template. Some of you are using postbit and some of you are using postbit_legacy. If you do the modification to one template, and your forum isn't using that layout, then, naturally, it's not going to show up.

Excellent update. Thank you.

No problem. I had some free time.

I know how that is.

You might want to replace the Georgia Flag in the flags directory instead of leaving it in the ZIP file. I was kind of confused about that until I followed through the posts on it. Also, if you come up with any more regions, I would be interested.

Again, good work, sir.
