Add-On Releases - Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 4.0.x (Inc GO

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:

                    <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:

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

(upto vB4.0.5) ADD BELOW:

<!-- 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:

<!-- 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):

<!-- 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)

<!-- 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 -->

Even though I have not tested this in these versions, others have and have reported this mod to be working in them.[/B]

Is that "forgive me" for making a derogatory remark about Macedonia (removed by a moderator), or "forgive me" for being proud to be Greek?

See Greece has won two medals at the Olympics!

[ikorolis]

i am proud to be greek (dont care win any medals at the olympics) the real problem to me is dont have money and job (you know how many people dont have eat single food or dont have home to sleep.)

Truly hope Greece sorts itself out, finally, after all these (many, many) years. Otherwise you might be removing the EU flag soon as well, if you know what I mean!

What about adding the Olympic flag to the County Flag list / icons file?
Also for Kurdistan (Kurdish), Cornish?

[ikorolis]

yes i know very good what is mean remove E.U flag and EURO (never like him E.U and EURO (Germany) i think is better for people get out (quit) for E.U and EURO and return official greek currency (Drx)

the debit of greece is not create for us (people) create for buy weapons of USA and E.U (used or old) but high prize

Banks loans and sales (go money outside of country)
example
buy electronics and cars for E.U aka IKEA , NOKIA , ERICSSON , SONY and more...

you right cross (many years) greece have good economic health.

not working for 4.2.0

I have it working just fine on 4.2.0pl2, had to futz with the code to get it to work right. The basic code to display the flag is:

<vb:if condition="$post['field8']"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.field8}.GIF" align="middle" alt="{vb:raw post.field8}" border="" /></vb:if>

Which is what I used in the vbcms template "vbcms_postbit" and placed that right after the last closing span tag of "vb:raw post.posttime". This shows the country flag on CMS comments.

For the main postbit template, I used:

<vb:if condition="$post['field8']"><dt><style="text-align:left"> Country</dt> <dd><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/flags/{vb:raw post.field8}.GIF" align="middle" alt="{vb:raw post.field8}" border="" /></dd></vb:if>

and put that in right after the "template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right_after_po sts" entry. By using the style="text-align tag, you avoid having to create a rawphrase for the title. Be sure to leave out the colon, the div already takes care of it (if you leave it in you get double colons).

Thanks Welshy2008, great mod!

Eh, no , that is not correct or mwhat I meant. Greece cooked to books to gain entrance to the EU; this is common knowledge. I meant Greece has had problems for many years, and when they got Germany's credit cards, they made things even worse. So now is time to pay, one way or another, and leaving the Euro would hurt you more, a lot more.

I'm very sorry reading your post. I do really believe (and feel) your bad situation. But sorry, I'm not accepting your excuses, as what I read are all excuses. Read on to get what I mean:

Why are you looking only to be employee? Why you don't try on your own? Are you feeling safer knowing that month by month you'll have your standard salary? I'm pround that after 15 years in airlines (Olympic Airways), I gave up this permantent job, because I believed to myself. Maybe the others don't know it, but you, as Greek, you know that Olympic Airways had to highest salaries. I was the first (and remained the only) who re-asigned from Olympic Airways.

Sorry for it. But yes, most probably, this will be your next job if you continue to look for "employee type" job. Otherwise the market is open. There is so much work available that you can't imagine. But are you ready for it? eg I'm working at least 12 hours a day, everyday (including weekends and holidays), and the last time that I "offered" myself vacation was on September 2004 for 5 days. Yes, 7 years and 11 months now I'm working non-stop even for a single day. And this is because I don't have the luxury to stop as my clients are waiting their projects.
