Country Flag Hack v2.0

UPDATED TO v2.1 - 3/11/2002

Version 2.1 - March 11, 2002
================================================== ==
Well, it's been awhile! I sorta disappeared there while
doing many other things! I guess v2.0 that was supposed
to use the same images as vBStats didn't go as planned
(thanks Bane ). I removed this hack from my site
awhile ago when I was having some other problems. I have
finally decided to add it back and it worked great in 2.2.0,
and I'm sure it will work in all other 2.2.x versions.

Changes:
- Updated to work with vBulletin 2.2.x
- Added Display Flag in Member List - Thanks Orca
- Used slightly larger flag images by X-Fan (I did run
them through Ulead's 16-color optimization which cut
the total file size from 271K to 54K!)
- Added 'align="absmiddle"' to image tag for text vertical centering
- Fixed Bane's name in docs below where I botched it up!
- Support for 280 Countries


Version 2.0 - September 6, 2001
================================================== ==
Changes from v1.0:
- Images have been changed from country codes to country names
- Flags will now have their ALT text as country name.
- Modified Hack to work with Bane's vbStats hack that will be released in the future.
- Added CP Addon by Stasik and modded it for new country names
- Changed country field in USER table from CHAR(2) to VARCHAR(50)
- Support for 226 countries

Known Problems:
- Countries with a dash (-) or comma (,) will not show up
automatically in as selected when you or the member edit
their profile (Congo, Korea, and Micronesia are the only 3)
Anyone know a fix please let me know.
- The 'modifyprofile_country' template needs to be changed
to a default original templatesetid of -1 (changed templates
have the templatesetid set to 2) or else the Admin CP addon
will not work (Any ideas why?). To do this, use phpMyAdmin
and run this query:
UPDATE template SET templatesetid="-1" where title="modifyprofile_country"
This will move the template from the custom to default templates
and will be found in the 'User Option Templates' group.

Any questions or comments can be posted here. Enjoy!

How would one get the country flags to appear on the memberlist.php page?

I know that would require code added to the memberlist.php file as well as modfying the memberlist templates, but I'm not sure what would need adding to memberlist.php.

What about include also in the "forum leader" list?

Hey all... I have updated the Country Flag Hack to v2.1. This version should work with all 2.2.x versions. See other additions and download v2.1 in the first post of this thread.

somehow it appears under my profile and all that but not in the Member list... I am using vB 2.2.4

[Lucky]

Great work my friend!!!

[Dez_U]

I am using version 2.2.4 and it works great for NEW MEMBERS ONLY. ??

A new member can register and the flag will show

Exsisting members can see the drop down in their user cp and select their country flag. but it does not show ??

Also none of the flags show on the members list.

Any help, thanks

PS, very <--COOL--> hack

Make the modifyprofile_country template default by making it (-1) using phpmyadmin as per the instructions.

[Dez_U]

sorry newbe here .... how do I do that then ??

I am in the phpMyAdmin area, what do I do next ?

[Dez_U]

OK, I followed the instructions and did the search and changed the template to -1

BUT it still don't work for oldtimers on the board. Is it something to do with 2.2.4 ??

[Dez_U]
