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>

Having same problem: forums/images/flags <---all flag images in there, they're not showing up though.


According to the directions though (Upload /flags to /images/misc/flags of your forum dir) that says you need to upload the flags folder to another folder named flags so it would be forums/images/misc/flags/flags <---all images there, but that doesn't make sense to have two folders.

If it's supposed to be one folder the directions should read: Upload /flags to /images/misc/ of your forum dir

Hi

Does anyone know if this hack is compatible with 3.5 RC2?

3.0.X Hacks aren't compatible with 3.5 hacks.

They would have to be completely recoded. 3.5 introduced new code changes everywhere.

Hi

Thank you for replying

I installed the hack just after posting on here and I didn't have any problems at all. Seems like it still works okay.

You mean that this hack also works for 3.5.0 RC2?

[JoyB]

Yes the "Flag" hack works for me and I've just upgraded to 3.5 RC2

I tried it too, vut i have a lil problem. I´m Using the "STeel Blue" Style as Default Style, and when i´m installing the hack, i can only see a red cross in my postbit_legacy :s

Ive been trying for ages to get this hack working on 3.07

read all the threads i can find on it, but still no joy.

in the memberlist, the Country field is displayed, although it only shows text, no images.

when viewing forums, i get nothing displayed at all. Im asuming the flag image should be displayed on every post, in the middle of the header of the post, where all the other user info is ???

ive tried all sort of little changes to get it happening but nowt yet. I suspect its unable to locate the images, but they are uploaded as per the instructions, the filepath to the flag images would be forum/images/misc/flags/*****.gif

any help please???

Andy.
