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

I'm asking because I have the exact situation and none of my graphics display.

Don't know. I had a professional install it for me on 3.6.7 and it works fine. You select your flag in EDIT PROFILE under USER CP in the navbar.

There were a handful of spelling errors in a few country names, so I made sure to correct those and match up the text file with the images. Everything should be formatted and matched properly, but if it isn't let me know.

Like I said, I don't know if you'll find it useful, but since someone mentioned it, I'd thought I'd share what I did for my forum with you. I intend to do the regions folder next, just didn't have the time tonight. I'll post it when it's done.

Took me a while to get around to this. I updated my Regions folder with what I believe to be the correct names and spellings and capitalization. Thought I'd share it with you. Note, your users will have to reselect their flag, and until they do, a broken image will show up. I just went ahead and grouped them altogether.

This should work on any version of vB you have. It's just a template modification. For those having trouble with it, make sure your adding the modifications to the right template. Some of you are using postbit and some of you are using postbit_legacy. If you do the modification to one template, and your forum isn't using that layout, then, naturally, it's not going to show up.

Nice and simple. Very good list of flags as well.

Cool.
BTW i saw many sites and forums in which after registering countryflag is shown automatic ally.Will this mod work that way or not?
and registered users will need to select flag manually???

Ok 3.68 here and working fine, how do you add flags?

Edit: nm figured it out.

Note:
- for different templates works:
1.Find:

<div class="info">$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]</div>

BELOW, ADD:

<!-- / flags start -->
<div>
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><img src="images/flags/$post[fieldX].gif"></if>
</div>
<!-- / flags end -->

2.Find:
<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

BELOW, ADD:

<!-- / flags start -->
<div>
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><img src="images/flags/$post[fieldX].gif"></if>
</div>
<!-- / flags end -->

Mine stopped working since I've installed another hack... why since this hack is very simple ???

I do not see any images? It's probably something stupid as other seem to feel it's an easy install. Images are upload into their appropriate directory, paths are good, postbit legacy code entered etc etc and still no images after 2 hours of trying to see what I am doing wrong.
