Profile Enhancements - Flags - Country and Region

I took the code from the flag mods on older vB versions and combined the country and region flags.

Instructions for installing only the country flags without the region flags is also included.

1.01 Changes:
Corrected the spelling of california
Corrected the spelling of newfoundland
Added the flag of england to the country flags list

Make sure you uploaded the flag images to the directory your style uses. That can be different from your main images directory.

This has been a really cool add-on! Can I suggest a text-over position that will have the country name show? This way users can become graphically educated as to what flag represents which country.

Thanks

You can add that by putting alt="$post[fieldX]" inside each <img> tag.

Cool!

So you mean do this (I really know nothing)?

<if condition="$post[field26]"><img src="images/flags/$post[field26].gif"></if>

and make it:

<alt="$post[field26]"><img src="images/flags/$post[field26].gif"></if>

I know it's probably wrong, but it didn't work none the less.

Thanks DJ.

Heheh, not exactly. You see alt is something that all <img> tags are supposed to have anyway, even if there's nothing in the quotation marks. It would look like this:

<img src="images/flags/$post[fieldXX].gif" alt="$post[fieldXX]" />

...don't laugh at me. Haha!

Thanks, it worked perfectly! Now I realize how incorrect I am about matching flags to countries.

I installed and I am only getting the text of country name shows under the avatar no images i.e name of "usa" instead of the "usa flag", I checked all flags are uploaded correctly and fields are added according to the instructions but no idea why image of flag is not showing only name of the country displays.

Any idea what may be the reason?

Well the entire coding is correct nothing seems to be working, I have spent already days on it.

Still could not figure out it does shows the text name of the country but no image,

Oh, okay. Well that's the problem then. This doesn't put the flag image in your Member Profile. You put this in the postbit or postbit_legacy templates and the images will show in your posts. It will only show as text on your member info page.
