Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 4.0.x (Inc GO · **Released**: 12-03-2009

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.

Credit for the Flags goes to Cobro. (I have renamed each and every flag to work with this Mod).

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 ** Please note that the vB4.0.4 Version does not show this option. Please select "Edit Profile" option. The selct your country flag option, I can confirm, Also shows on registration too.
** SAVE **

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

ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> <<>> -> Postbit Templates -> select the template that you use (ie Postbit or Posbit_legacy) ? This is for the Postbit_Legacy?

FIND:

Code:

                    <span class="usertitle">
                        {vb:raw post.usertitle}
                    </span>

If you would like to place it under your number of user posts (to the right of your Postbit) then look for:

Code:

<dt>{vb:rawphrase posts}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.posts}</dd>

(upto vB4.0.5) ADD BELOW:

Code:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Country:</dt> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" alt="Users Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if>
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

(for vB4.0.6 AND 4.0.7) ADD BELLOW:

Code:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Country</dt> <img src="http://www.YOURFORUM ADDRESS.com/forum/images/buttons/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" alt="This is {vb:raw post.username}'s Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if></p>
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

(Also adds the Username to the 'alt' Code on Mouseover).

(for vB4.0.8):

Code:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"><style="text-align:left"> Country:</dt> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" align="middle" alt="Users Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if>  
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

(Thanks to Krusty1231 for this).

(for vB4.1.0 , 4.1.0 PL2 & 4.1.1)

Code:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"><style="text-align:left"> Country:</dt> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" align="middle" alt="{vb:raw post.fieldX}" border="" /></vb:if>  
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

I removed it myself, but maybe I should have left my comment! I've repeatedly asked in this thread for help only to be ingnored everytime!

All I needed was a yes or a no.

Welshy2008 · #**213** 03-12-2010, 01:40 PM

It's a no, I am not doing all that again.

Venturer X · #**214** 03-13-2010, 07:34 AM

I've got a problem...

It tries to load http://XXXXXXXXXXXXX/forum/images/buttons/flags/.GIF

Even though I have selected UK in my profile field (I have made sure that the fieldX is field5 like it is in the User Profile Field Manager) but still only trys to load .GIF

You have Mail.

I don't think the UK flag is working correctly.

Edit: Nevermind, I just needed to change the gif on UK to all-caps.

Affixxx · #**217** 03-14-2010, 01:20 AM

the images dont display right on some themes

I have been informed that the latest flag folders to be attached are .gif and not .GIF, as you correctly pointed out with the UK flag.

If it is the case that all the flags are .gif (I haven't checked as yet), it would be easier to chage the code from .GIF to .gif:

Code:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Country:</dt> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" alt="Users Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if>
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

Becomes:

Code:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Country:</dt> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.gif" alt="Users Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if>
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

And:

Code:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Country:</dt> <img src="http://www.YOUR FORUM ADDRESS.com/images/buttons/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.GIF" alt="This is {vb:raw post.username}'s Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if></p>
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

Becomes:

Code:

<!-- Wy Country Flags Start -->
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <dt>Country:</dt> <img src="http://www.YOUR FORUM ADDRESS.com/images/buttons/flags/{vb:raw post.fieldX}.gif" alt="This is {vb:raw post.username}'s Country Flag" border="" /></vb:if></p>
<!-- Wy Flags End -->

As soon as I get some time, I will go through them.

Are we talking about Firfox Here? If so, there is a known bug displaying some animagted gifs.

Jabong82 · #**219** 03-14-2010, 09:30 AM

Hello I installed this mod a while ago and actually haven't noticed this until just now but I have an unusual problem with this in IE8. When I use IE8 I get a weird horizontal rule under the flag (see attachment).

Oh and in Firefox I just realized that I get the blurry image others are talking about. These were both working fine before but I guess its because I updated to new browsers for both. Any chance of a fix on these? Or is it just browser problems?

Thank you again for this great mod.

Edit: Nevermind I fixed the horizontal line it was a conflict with another mod

. Anyway is there any fix yet for Firefox?

Welshy2008 · #**220** 03-14-2010, 11:11 AM

I know of the one in Firefox, but not the one in IE8. Unfortunately, that is down to those browsers and it is out of my hands, Sorry.

My flags dont appear. What's wrong?
