Show Thread Enhancements - Country Flag

Well, i looked all over the forums but couldn't find this countryflag mod; however, i found it on vb.org instead. I wonder why did awesome hack ain't officially released here for vb members.

All credits go to SmartGnome for orginal hack and AJR, Pingu and Stasik who made the hack for vb 2.2.x.

Go to AdminCP > Profile Fields > Add new Profile field > Single Select Menu >

Title > Country

Description > This shows your country flag in postbit.
Options: copy and paste list of country in flag_list.txt to this option field
Default Option: Yes, but not blank
Display Page: Thread Viewing

-----------------------
Optional:
Run this following query to set Undisclosed as default for all users or it would displays images as X's.

UPDATE `userfield` SET `fieldX` = 'Undisclosed';

-----------------------

Templates edit:

in postbit(_legacy)

FIND

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>

BELOW ADD:

<if condition="$post[fieldX] != Undisclosed"><div>Country: <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/flags/$post[fieldX].gif" alt="$post[fieldX]" align="center" /> </div></if>

Change X to the field id.
Upload /flags to /images/misc/flags of your forum dir


Note:
Image: <if condition="$post[fieldX] != Undisclosed"><div>Country: <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/flags/$post[fieldX].gif" alt="$post[fieldX]" align="center" /> </div></if>
Text: <if condition="$post[fieldX] != Undisclosed"><div>Country: $post[fieldX]</div></if>

Yup. just use this code-

 <div>Country: <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/flags/$post[fieldX].gif" alt="$post[fieldX]" align="center" /> </div>

An make sure you upload the Undisclosed.gif to the same folder as the other flags.

Thanks I will give it a shot.

What if we wanted to place this next to the username in the postbit(_legacy) or the regular postbit??

[mholtum]

You would move it to that part of the template.

well, it's optional to set all gender field in the table to Undisclosed, but if you don't run that query, it gonna show a big X on the image.

Works great, I actually have some USA State flags and added Country and State profile fields.


Let me know if you need those flags.

Cheers.

[trackpads]

Yup

[Shinobi]
