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

Options - [copy and paste list of countries in country_flags_list.txt to this option field] But where i can find it?
thank you

If you go to Admin->User Profile Fields->Add New User Profile->Single Selection Menu>

In the box where it says
"Options
Enter the options that the user can choose from. Separate each option with a new-line (carriage return)."

That is where you put in all the flags list

Ok, now I understand it

Thanks

I tried installing it but it isn't showing? What could be the problem?

Most common mistake is not putting it into the postbit template that you use for your forum.

postbit (Like on this forum, Avatar and User Info is on top of each post)
postbit_legacy (Avatar and User Info is on the side)

Here's what I posted in the postbit - legacy

<!-- / flags start -->
<div>
<if condition="$post[field8]"><img src="images/flags/$post[field8].gif"></if>
<if condition="$post[field9]"><img src="images/region/$post[field9].gif"></if>
</div>

My profile fields are 8 and 9

I uploaded the images to images/flags and images/region

Any thoughts? I've been trying to figure this out for some time and this is the first addon I've had a problem with.

It should be showing up, unless your forum isn't using postbit_legacy. Are the images not showing at all, or are they broken images? If they're broken, then you might need to add the flags folders to your skin's images folder, and not the one in your forum root.

Beautiful hack that worked perfectly for what I need. I sort of rewrote to meet my needs. I run a local forum so I don't need country flags but more of an area identifier.

I was wondering however, how would you make it a conditional on if the user wants it displayed in their postbit? The field is already something I had in the profile, but now I just added images to go along with the field to display on the postbit. I have some users who don't want it displayed and I am at a loss on how to accomplish that with your hack.

Thanks so much!!!!!
