or you can still load v1.0 below

Version 1.0 - September 1, 2001
==============================================
This is the first release of the Country Hack. I've seen many people asking for this hack to be completed. I have changed and added a lot from the original Flag hack by Pingu. Thanks Pingu for the start of this hack!

This is my first hack. Everything should work fine in vBulletin v2.0.x (v2.0.3 has a note below for a different file to edit than in v2.0.1).

Version 1.0 has support for 221 countries and their corresponding flags. The country names are stored by their 2-letter ISO-3166 country codes, with the exception of Scotland which uses '01' because of no known country code (To add other countries that have no country code, use 02, 03, etc). Some countries have the same 2-letter notation because they have the same flag (e.g. many countries like France and UK have territories that use the mainland flag).

I have created large (x by 32) and small (x by 16) icons in .gif format. If you want to put the flag next to the name in the post, get the small icons. If you want to put the flag under the name or
somewhere else in the post, the large ones look better. The flag zips are in the first 2 posts below.


In Version 1.0:
- Support for 221 countries (any more? anyone?)
- Requires adult registrant to choose their country
- Allows existing users to select/change their country
in the 'Edit Profile' form
- Displays country flag on member profile page
- Use template for country list to be pulled anywhere
- Very easy to add new countries

What I'd like to add:
- A way to translate country codes to their appropriate
name to display on the profile page


I don't have a demo board setup yet and mine is still under construction. I have attached a picture:



Bane at TalkLoud has added the Country Flag hack. So I'm using his site as the demo: http://www.talkloud.net/showthread.php?threadid=203

Great hack, wandering if you make a addon for it.
I noticed today that when viewing my profile via the admin control panel the option for the flags does not show up along with the other profile fields. Can you add this option where it will show up in the control panel?

Thanks dude
That worked!

Hey is there anyway we could add alt tags to the images?
