Add-On Releases - Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 3.8.X

After receiving many PMs for me to do my version of this mod, I have obliged.

Original Credit for the Mod goes to Cobro.

If you use this Mod, Please click "Installed" and rate the Mod fairly.

This Mod is available for vb4.0.X here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...02#post2008102



Description:

This Add on, gives a selection of Countries that your Member (New or Existing) can choose from in a 'Drop-Down Menu'. The Country he/she selects, will be displayed as a Flag in their Postbit.


Instructions:

Firstly ?Upload? ALL the Flag GIF pics to your forum root /images/buttons/flags folder.

IE: yourforumaddress.com/forum/images/buttons/flags

Please Note: Due to the flags folder being too large to upload as one - I have been forced to upload it as "flags1", "flags2" and "flags3" - Please ensure that you add a new folder to "images/buttons/" and name it "flags". Please copy the contents of ALL THREE (3) flags folders in the attachment below to the new 'flags' folder that you have just made. (DO NOT place them as 3 seperate folders!"


Then in your Admin Control Panel (ACP), please do the following:
ACP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field ->Profile Field Type -> Single-Selection Menu (select ?Single-Selection Menu? from the Drop-Down Menu) -> Please enter the following into the following fields (REMEMBER to make a note of the FieldID, because you will need to replace ALL the X?s in [fieldX] with it!!!
(Please see 'FieldID.jpg' attachment below).

Add New User Profile Field Single-Selection Menu:

Title = Country Flag
Description = Add your country flag to your profile:
Profile Field Category = (Uncategorized)
Options = Copy & Paste the Whole contents of the file attached below (OPTIONS)
Set Default = None
Display Order = You Select this (dependant on how many you already have)
Field Required = yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User = Yes
Private Field = No
Field Searchable on Members List = No
Show on Members List = Yes


Optional Input:

Allow user to input their own value for this option = No
Max length of allowed user input = 100
Field Length = 25
Regular Expression = Leave this Blank


Display Page:

Which page displays this option? = Edit Your Details

** SAVE **


Then, In your Admin Control Panel (ACP)...


For Postbit:


ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> <<>> -> Postbit Templates -> postbit


FIND:

				<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if>
				<if condition="$post['rank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>
				$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left]

ADD BELOW:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<if condition="$post['fieldX']">
	Country: <img src="http://www.Yourforum.com/images/buttons/flags/$post[fieldX].GIF" alt="$post[username]'s Flag is: $post[fieldX]" border="" />
</if>
<!--// Wy Country Flags End -->

For Posbit_Legacy:


ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> <<>> -> Postbit Templates -> posbit_legacy...


FIND:

<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</if>
			<if condition="$post['rank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>
			$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left]

ADD BELOW:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<if condition="$post['fieldX']">
	Country: <img src="http://www.Yourforum.com/images/buttons/flags/$post[fieldX].GIF" alt="$post[username]'s Flag is: $post[fieldX]" border="" />
</if>
<!--// Wy Country Flags End -->

BOTH of the codes above will give you the Username and the Name of the actual Users Country Flag on mouseover.


TIP: (If you find that you get the box with a "red x" like this , instead of seeing your image whilst using Option 1, Above - This means that the route to your images is wrong.


** Replace the ?X? with your FieldID number **
** Replace the ?Red Text? with Your Forum Address **

** SAVE Template **





And that's it - Enjoy!


Please do not forget to click "Install"

Yes sorted thanks, didnt notice there were 2 X's that needed changing in each edit

[Black Tiger]

I think I had this installed maybe in 2.x or another 3.x version. I've got a whole /flags directory in my vbulletin.
I think I'm going to try this mod too.

Matthew,

There are Three (3) X's to replace, Mate.

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<if condition="$post['fieldX']">
Country: <img src="http://www.Yourforum.com/images/buttons/flags/$post[fieldX].GIF" alt="$post[username]'s Flag is: $post[fieldX]" border="" />
</if>
<!--// Wy Country Flags End -->


You have missed out the code that is in Bold Green.


That gives the name of the country flag that that user has chosen, when you hover the mouse over their flag.

[matthewhotdude]

ahh thanks welshy

[Welshy2008]

That's it mate, It working great now.


Can you go into your flags folder and rename the UK flag from "UK.gif" to "UK.GIF"?


That Flag will then work too.

[Welshy2008]

Attached is a UK.GIF for those who have already installed this.

For those who haven't, I have added it to the original folder in the OP.

[matthewhotdude]

Thanks, Wondered why that didnt work

[killerkraft]

Works like a charm.

You're Welcome.

Good plugin

a question,
is there a way to return to normal, without any flag?

once users have selected a flag, they can't return to normal since the software is saying a flag is required..
