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!

i see it but i still dont have the scroll bar at the choosing profile
it is completely blank!

Select your Country:
If you select your country, your country flag image will appear next to your name on your posts.

I have added a new country to the "modifyprofile_country" template, it shows up ok as a user changing profile and for a new user, but is missing from the admin control panel as an admin changing a user or adding a user.

Have I done something wrong?

Update:

It seems the same issue that requires the template to be the default -1 also stops any changes made by using the control panel "edit" being shown afterwards in the admin control panel.

I had to modify the -1 template in phpmyadmin and then "revert to original" to get it to show up.

This kinda defeats the purpose of having it in a template

Delhaze... make your changes to the 'modifyprofile_country' template, then execute the attached file. This file will:

- Verify that you have a modified template for 'modifyprofile_country'
- Once verified, it will then delete the original 'modifyprofile_country' template
- Finally it will change the modified template to an original template.

I programmed in the verification because if you DIDN'T modify the 'modifyprofile_country' template, it would delete the original and you'd be left with no template and no country dropdown list! I've checked template_change.php numerous times to make sure it works!

This wouldn't work for me, my template set id is different so the verification fails.
