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.

YOU DID..and i went...so again what next? meaning will you do a update soon.
I doubt very much that you did - why? Because you are asking me another question that I already answered on the GLA thread. I have already spoken about updates, along with a copy of a new database, and discussion on the timetable. All on the GLA thread. If you have specific questions about any posts on the GLA thread - please ask them THERE, not HERE. This thread is for issues concerning the Who's Online mod, not functions provided by GLA.
I just installed this a moment ago with GLA as mentioned. Problem is that it is only displaying my own IP's country name and flag in the country column, plus one other member and one guest. I enabled everything in who's online admin area and re-saved my admin group permissions, still didn't fix it. I have about 20 users logged in as well, plus 30-40 guests.
Am I correct in assuming that the displays don't update until someone changes what they're doing on the forums? ie: I just installed it, but only a smattering of the 100+ people listed in the Who's Online have a flag next to their name. But as I've reloaded over the last several minutes, I've noticed some of them filling in as they moved around the board.
It didn't really answer mine. I've been online at work which is a different city and different internet, and now at home, and my flag never shows up. lol
I don't get it, it's like Colorado, Denver. How could that not be in the database?
Anyways do you suggest adding the proper IP block or what do I do? Reinstall?
