Country Display for Who's Online
What does this do?
It adds another column to your Who's Online display, with the country where the user is logging on from. You can choose either the name, the flag or both. You can also decide which users can see this information.
How about a quick summary of features?
Country display can be admin/moderator only, or available for everyone to see
You can display the country name, a flag, or both. You can use alternative flag sets if you want
Adds minimal overhead, no additional queries
Works on 3.6.6, 3.6.7 and should work for future versions as well. Will not work on versions prior to this. There is a manual file hack for previous versions here (unsupported).
Country information is provided by the GLA (Geographic Location Awareness) mod. Therefore updates to GLA will automatically provide improvements to any mod using GLA.
How do I install?
1. Install GLA first. You can find it here. It's easy and takes a minute.
2. Download and install the enclosed .xml file via adminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product -> Import.
How do I configure it?
By default it will display only the country name to admin, super moderators and moderators. You can change this under vBulletin Options -> Who's Online Options. Be sure to check these options and click "save", even if you haven't changed anything. See attached screenshots.
Before posting on this thread:
If your issue concerns questions about country detection, the accuracy of the database, etc - please post your question on the GLA thread instead. Please only post issues here concerning the Who's Online display itself.
Please click install. Support requests from people who have not clicked install may not be answered.

So no queries right?
and regarding to PostBit, I have seen a few boards with the Flag on it
I'm sorry, I don't understand your post. Could you please be more specific? What do you mean by no queries? Which post is this a reference to? And you say you've seen other boards that have the flag on the postbit? vbulletin systems? Are you saying that this hack already exists? If so, can you post some links? I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say here...

Uuuh! some humor
-This hack adds additional queries or not?
- About the hack, sure I read in a vBulletin system about one hack, but many bad reviews made turn my head off... let me remember...
That hack you linked above is a totally different thing - it requires users to supply their country as part as their profile information. GLA operates on their IP address and performs its functions automatically.
