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!

I installed this hack and now when users try to change the "location" in their profile it says "Thanks for updating your profile" but the location doesnt show up.
Can anyone offer any advice who has added additional flags.
One of my members wanted an Ex-Pat flag that I called "United Kingdom Ex Pat.gif" and put into the flags directory.
I modified the template and added this line...
<option value="United%20Kingdom%20Ex%20Pat" $ctryUnited_Kingdom_Ex_Patselected>United Kingdom Ex Pat</option>
...under the User Control panel all works well. They can select their flag.
However under the Admin options I cannot see the new flag, when you look at their profile it appears with a blank name on the right hand side in the country field drop down box. At no point is that flag selectable by Admins.

Spitfyre - you may want to consider upgrading to the latest stable release of vbulletin (2.3.0) as the previous versions have many bug fixes which could leave a big security hole in your board
I have just checked in a clean 2.2.8 in functions.php and that line is there
