New Update Message (Read This Befor)
This is my 2nd tutorial, I had uploaded all the images and files in our own server to make it easier for you guys, but the members suggested that it was much better if they got the files to upload for them selfs and on their own servers! Now thats what we do. And all we have removed all the images & files from our servers, and if anyone still uses the old version, then its not strange if the flags doesnt show up. Now you all need to get this new update, which is much more easier! And all the files is ready to be uploaded in your own servers!


UPDATED
(03-SEP-2012)After
MEMBERS REQUEST!

Befor I start, I let you know that there are about 500 Files to Upload in your server or your forum ftp root. We first uploaded all the files to our own server, but if you look below in the comments many requested they wanted the files to be uploaded in their own servers. We have now uploaded all the files in the ATTACHMENTS as "Upload.zip" + 4 XML files beside. So please take your time and let all the files be uploaded, befor you install the XML file.

Files to upload from "Upload.zip" file there are:
2 Folders Called: (flags) + (ip_flags) + 4 php files.
An Estimate of 499 files for upload.

Upload everything from the Upload.zip to your forum root, Simply use the DRAG and DROP it, if you use any FTP software !

And dont forget the 4 XML files which comes with 4 different TEXT COLORS, Do not upload them to your FTP! They should only be installed from ADMINCP and Product Manager, but only 1 of them!

Dont forget, this was request by yourselfs !


Here we go:

IP 2 COUNTRY FLAG

Show your forum Guests their IP Location, and Country Flag!

This addon my latest one (IP 2 COUNTRY FLAG)! It showes your guests IP and COUNTRY FLAG. Its only working in the forum section, and the BOX will be placed above your forums! Me and a friend had this script for a long time and and we wanted to make this to an ADDON for our old forum MYBB, but we couldnt! After I moved to vBulletin we gave it a shot, and finally made it to work for vBulletin Version vB3.8 and 4.x! And finally we finished it... The php was not finished, so we added some extra felts to finish it!

With 4 different text colors, Red, Green, Brown, Black!

Below you see how the Addon looks on a Dark & a Light (Theme & Background)
Red Text Color





Green Text Color





Brown Text Color





Forum Frontpage

Lets Start:

Step 1: I start over again with the "Upload.zip" from the attachments, there are 2 folders and 4 files beside the folders! Upload everything that you see in the Upload.zip to your forum root! And wait untill its uploaded, and then go to step 2!

Step 2: Now there are 4 XML products, with different text color, Choose only one and go to your ADMINCP, and in your Plugin & Products, click on Manage Products, and scroll down to ADD/IMPORT PRODUCT! Then click on BROWSE button and locate the XML product with the color you want to use in your forum, and then Click on IMPORT..

Thats it, Now remember, you have to log-out to see the Guest message! Because its only visible for Guests, Non-Registered Users and Non Logged-In..

Dont forget to click on INSTALLED, and enjoy !

And thanks for all of you who noticed me about the FILES where better to be uploaded in your own serves! GREAT IDEA , BUT A LOT OF FILES!

It depends on your forum Template & width, and what font your forum is using, It fits perfect on a Default vBulletin Template. Anyways,

Here is the fix, Edit one of the XML files with a TEXT EDITOR! Now if you take a look below, I have marked a portion of the code in RED color, Now find BLUE color 750px, and change it to 800px!
