I think this thread should be renames as Country Flag Hack and placed in an appropriate section in this forum... took me a while to locate this hack...

appropriate section == http://www.vbulletintemplates.com

This is a vB "Hack" board, you are referring to a template altering issue

This was a real mission for me with VB 3.03 using the instructions included but I finally got it working. Here are some quick instructions:

1. Download the hack
2. Upload the flags, we will use www.yourforum.com/flags/ as an example
3. Note: You do not have to create any new user profiles as there is already a profile for country. The user profile ID for country should be 6 by default.
4. Edit the postbit template,

find

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>

below add

<if condition="$post[field8]"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: <img src="http://www.yourforum.com/flags/$post[field6].gif" border="0" alt="[field6]" /><br /></if>

5. This should complete the install. You may have to play around with the

="$post[field8]">

, just keep changing the field# until you find a spot your are looking for when viewing a thread. For me, 8 worked perfect. Also note that the forum I installed this on did not show the location: in the postbit, if you want to show the location and the country, you will have to create a phrase called "country_12345" with the text "Country: " and then use this code in the postbit style instead:

<if condition="$post[field8]"><div>$vbphrase[country_12345]: <img src="http://www.yourforum.com/flags/$post[field6].gif" border="0" alt="[field6]" /><br /></if>

Or if you want to do it without creating a new phrase, just put:

<if condition="$post[field8]"><div>Country: <img src="http://www.yourforum.com/flags/$post[field6].gif" border="0" alt="[field6]" /><br /></if>

Hope this saves some people 2 hours as it would have saved me if I would have known this

Scratch step number 3. Some people may not have the country list already there. If not, insert all the countries from the flag_list as VB3 allows to add them all. See attachment

What does this hack do? I saw a site that had country flags scrolling for online users... that is what I would love.
Is there a clear set up on how to do this hack? I really dont want to mess with my site more than it is...

or a screen shot or something! LOL.
