Description:
This Add on, gives a selection of Countries that your Member (New or Existing) can choose from in a 'Drop-Down Menu'. The Country he/she selects, will be displayed as a Flag in their Postbit.
Instructions:
Firstly Upload ALL the Flag GIF pics to your forum root /images/buttons/flags folder.
IE: yourforumaddress.com/forum/images/buttons/flags
Please Note: Due to the flags folder being too large to upload as one - I have been forced to upload it as "flags1", "flags2" and "flags3" - Please ensure that you add a new folder to "images/buttons/" and name it "flags". Please copy the contents of ALL THREE (3) flags folders in the attachment below to the new 'flags' folder that you have just made. (DO NOT place them as 3 seperate folders!"
Then in your Admin Control Panel (ACP), please do the following:
ACP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field ->Profile Field Type -> Single-Selection Menu (select Single-Selection Menu from the Drop-Down Menu) -> Please enter the following into the following fields (REMEMBER to make a note of the FieldID, because you will need to replace ALL the Xs in [fieldX] with it!!!
(Please see 'FieldID.jpg' attachment below).
Add New User Profile Field Single-Selection Menu:
Title = Country Flag
Description = Add your country flag to your profile:
Profile Field Category = (Uncategorized)
Options = Copy & Paste the Whole contents of the file attached below (OPTIONS)
Set Default = None
Display Order = You Select this (dependant on how many you already have)
Field Required = yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User = Yes
Private Field = No
Field Searchable on Members List = No
Show on Members List = Yes
Optional Input:
Allow user to input their own value for this option = No
Max length of allowed user input = 100
Field Length = 25
Regular Expression = Leave this Blank
Display Page:
Which page displays this option? = Edit Your Details
** SAVE **
Then, In your Admin Control Panel (ACP)...
For Postbit:
ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> <<>> -> Postbit Templates -> postbit
FIND:
ADD BELOW:
For Posbit_Legacy:
ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> <<>> -> Postbit Templates -> posbit_legacy...
FIND:
ADD BELOW:
BOTH of the codes above will give you the Username and the Name of the actual Users Country Flag on mouseover.
TIP: (If you find that you get the box with a "red x" like this
, instead of seeing your image whilst using Option 1, Above - This means that the route to your images is wrong.
** Replace the X with your FieldID number **
** Replace the Red Text with Your Forum Address **
** SAVE Template **
And that's it - Enjoy!

Welshy Hello,
This particular one will Not work on 3.8.X
I do have a version that I could do for you, (I have 3.8.4 PL2) and I will be upgrading to 3.8.5.
Yes, I do have the alt code to show the actual" Country Flag" name.
Bare with with me and I will do it as soon as possible for you and the others that has requested it.
If you want to try it on the 3.8.5, I am afraid you will be the Guinea pig. I can't see why it won't work, but I can't guarantee that. As ALWAYS, do a forum back-up BEFORE adding any Mods or changes to your board, but preferably, use a "Test" forum.
