CountryFlags

[vbgamer45]

Try to emulate it in the package manager it should work for 2.0

[RoCKeT-88]

OK So I just emulate 2.0.2 or another version?  Sorry I dont recall this feature before I been lax on updating stuff so just getting back into all. 

Thanks a lot~

[vbgamer45]

I would emulate just 2.0 and see if that works.

Very nice mod.
Had to tweek a little to fit my needs.

I also added the country display in profile (which was missing in my version.)
If someone is interested, here is the code.

in Profile.template.php
Find:

Code Select Expand

if (!isset($context['disabled_fields']['location']) && !empty($context['member']['location']))
echo '
<dt>', $txt['location'], ':</dt>
<dd>', $context['member']['location'], '</dd>




and after add:

Code Select Expand


// Flag Mod
if(!empty($modSettings['country_flag_show']) && $modSettings['country_flag_show'] == 1)
$flags = CountryFlag();
echo '

<dt>', $txt['country_flag'], ':</dt>

<dd>', (!empty($context['member']['country_flag']) && $context['member']['country_flag']!= '00') ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url']. '/flags/' . $context['member']['country_flag'] . '.png" alt="' . $context['member']['country_flag'] . '" title="' . $flags[$context['member']['country_flag']] . '" />' :'N/A' . '</dd>';
// Flag Mod end


Thats it..

Nice tip thanks!

[DaKrampus]

ahh.. btw i forgot.
i fixed another little bug, because it was anoying, (although very few people could get pas registration without  putting in country flag....
in your version there are 2 empty fields when selecting country...
one is really empty (the one in the template) and the other one is the '00' flag in the flags array...
if the user selects the second empty field, he can register, but has no flag (i.e. the empty '00' flag.)

The fix is easy:
first added a 1 px transparent png and called it 00.png in the flags directory.

then:
- in the flags array i changed:

Code Select Expand

$flags = array(
'00' => '',
to

Code Select Expand

$flags = array(
'00' => 'Select country',

OK, I was to lazy to add the text to the language file...

then removed the empty select in 2 instances. (cant remember exactly where, but an empty <option.....></option> is easy to find in the installrc4

then:
where the posting is required... in register.php
find

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($modSettings['country_flag_required']) &&  empty($_POST['default_options']['country']))
replace with:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($modSettings['country_flag_required']) && (empty($_POST['default_options']['country']) ||  $_POST['default_options']['country'] == '00'))

the addon for the profile page I posted above allready contains the fix for the 00.png...

Like this it works fine for me...
Da

there still remains 1 little todo...
if flag is required in registration, then he should NOT be able to select the empty 00 flag when he modifies his profile...
I will add that when i got a little more time.. its just a line identical to  the if statement above...

There are a couple of bugs that I know of in this modification, I intend on rewriting it shortly to fix any of the bugs and clean it up a little bit.

[DaKrampus]

Great news, If you want I can send you the install package I made that also includes incorporation in memberlist.
Da

[Matthew K.]

I appreciate the offer, although I honestly prefer just writing any additions myself

[DaKrampus]

I fully understand, same here.
The memberlist sorting is anyway done the way I wanted it, which is not allways the way most want...

up and down.. sort by flag.. within the flags per username ASC ,
but no matter if you sort flags ASC or DESC, I allways wanted them first, and those that dont have a flag, only come afterwards.. (so i dont have to go to last page if the first 10 pages of users dont have flags  when I sort upwards..)

It works nicely, so here the sort "hint" if you want to do it my way...

Code Select Expand

'down' => 'mem.country_flag DESC, mem.real_name ASC',
'up' => 'LENGTH(mem.country_flag) > 0 DESC, mem.country_flag = "00" ASC, mem.country_flag ASC, mem.real_name ASC'

i have problems with it. i have installed the package but when i choose my country,the flag picture won't show,only the norway text.. why is that?

Which theme do you use?

Check the default theme to see if the flag shows there.

[Matthew K.]

More details would be fantastic, it's most likely an issue of not having copied over the flag images to your theme images directory.

This may be your answer.

I had a problem with country flags and want to share the solution:

Problem: Install went well and everything, but there was always php code on the top of the forum

Solution: Dig to Modifications.english.php and change that badly terminated PHP file

From this:


To this:


I guess Anti Bot: Are You Human/Bot? mod left the php close mark: ?> in that place and CountryFlags couldn't handle it.

BTW, if your forum is in another language, add to Modifications.<your laguage>.php those new variables

It's the least I could do for such an awesome forum
