Country Flag Hack v2.0

UPDATED TO v2.1 - 3/11/2002

Version 2.1 - March 11, 2002
================================================== ==
Well, it's been awhile! I sorta disappeared there while
doing many other things! I guess v2.0 that was supposed
to use the same images as vBStats didn't go as planned
(thanks Bane ). I removed this hack from my site
awhile ago when I was having some other problems. I have
finally decided to add it back and it worked great in 2.2.0,
and I'm sure it will work in all other 2.2.x versions.

Changes:
- Updated to work with vBulletin 2.2.x
- Added Display Flag in Member List - Thanks Orca
- Used slightly larger flag images by X-Fan (I did run
them through Ulead's 16-color optimization which cut
the total file size from 271K to 54K!)
- Added 'align="absmiddle"' to image tag for text vertical centering
- Fixed Bane's name in docs below where I botched it up!
- Support for 280 Countries


Version 2.0 - September 6, 2001
================================================== ==
Changes from v1.0:
- Images have been changed from country codes to country names
- Flags will now have their ALT text as country name.
- Modified Hack to work with Bane's vbStats hack that will be released in the future.
- Added CP Addon by Stasik and modded it for new country names
- Changed country field in USER table from CHAR(2) to VARCHAR(50)
- Support for 226 countries

Known Problems:
- Countries with a dash (-) or comma (,) will not show up
automatically in as selected when you or the member edit
their profile (Congo, Korea, and Micronesia are the only 3)
Anyone know a fix please let me know.
- The 'modifyprofile_country' template needs to be changed
to a default original templatesetid of -1 (changed templates
have the templatesetid set to 2) or else the Admin CP addon
will not work (Any ideas why?). To do this, use phpMyAdmin
and run this query:
UPDATE template SET templatesetid="-1" where title="modifyprofile_country"
This will move the template from the custom to default templates
and will be found in the 'User Option Templates' group.

Any questions or comments can be posted here. Enjoy!

In register.php find this

  if (!$allowregistration) {

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_noregister")."\");");

    exit;

  }



  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and !$allowmultiregs) {

    $getuser=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

    $username=$getuser[username];



    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_alreadyregistered")."\");");



    exit;

  } 


After it put this

PHP Code:


" if($country==""){
    eval("standarderror('Please select your country.');");
    exit;
 }" 


Great

Thanks for that

But just to check, should those " at the start and end be there in the code I'm puting in be there?

PHP Code:

if($country==""){ 
eval("standarderror('Please select your country.');"); 
exit; 
}

yep, thats what I thought

Will test it now

OK, just tried it, didn't work

As soon as I hit the register link, it says "Please select your country."

I hadn't even got to the signup page yet before it said it...

Any ideas?

[webhost]

remove that and place here.

Find

PHP Code:

// Country Hack

  $country = trim($country);
// Country Hack End 


and place this after it

PHP Code:

if($country==""){
    eval("standarderror('Please select your country.');");
    exit;
 } 


so it should like this when finished

PHP Code:

// Country Hack

  $country = trim($country);
if($country==""){
    eval("standarderror('Please select your country.');");
    exit;
 }
// Country Hack End

Great work man. I would it be possible to see the country name in the users profile. I dont reconize alot of the flags.
Installed great for me in 2.2.6.

I'm so attached to this hack that I probably won't upgrade to vB 3.0 until it is ported.

[freehtml]

I can't seems to find find:
$templatesused .= "register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,regist er_customfields,usercpnav,modi fyprofile";

In my member.php (version 2.2.6)...

[ciscoman]

It should be this
$templatesused = 'register_birthday,modifyprofile_customtext,regist er_customfields,usercpnav,modi fyprofile';
