Hack Notes: [*]Allows your members to choose the country flag they are from! [*]This image is used on topics [*]Comes with OVER 100 flags [*]Comes with a *Flag Managing* add-on (thanks gamer) [*]Capability of using anyone of the 4 custom input fields! [*]All configuration is done through the cp! [*]only 8 actual file mods!
hey yea works like a charm i think imma move the location of it though to below the loaction field and also you have a very nice board design! my complements to you!
Im gonna make 4 versions of this hack one for each custom field! therefore you can use anyone you like because if i use only one it kinda screws some ppl up.
Any way this flag can be placed at the bottom of the post (where the Posts, Location, Registration Date and IP Logged entries are)? With the small size of the flag icon, I think this will be very possible. It's less clutter on boards who already have avatars, stars and ratings in place...
Jigga-Master, Please contact me BEFORE you release this hack, I have finished the flag management part, and it works 100%. So please contact me on AIM or E-Mail me. I will be online tonight.
always nice to see people working 4 us users, well i dont mind it the people see the name of the creator of the hack/mod they have a right 4 the credits.
&HeaderRow(qq(This section renames/deletes your flags! You may only rename only one file at a time but you may delete multiple files (press CTRL while selecting the files you want to delete). To rename a file, select the file from the last, enter in the new name (without the path) and then press the Rename/Delete button. To delete file(s), select the file(s) from the list and press the Rename/Delete button. Be careful. Once flags are deleted, there will be no way to recover the avatar. ), "2", "#FFFFFF", "#000000", "left", "1");
because 1) script does confirm whether you want to delete that selection or not and 2) this fixes the extra line space between the last lines in the info section.
2 things Gamer: The new Wales flag that you posted a couple of threads up is not included in the release that I just downloaded. That should be added. Also, is there a way to make the U.S. and Canada appear at the top of my drop down list since most people will be choosing one of those 2 countries anyways? Thanks for a great hack...
Thanks Jigga-Master, Well, usually when I fill out a form on a website that has a country field; they always place the most commonly selected fields together at the top for convenience. This was just a thought.
JUST UPDATED ZIP AGAIN PLEASE JUST RE-UPLOAD flag_list.pl AS THERE WAS A FIELD BUG IN IT! IT WOULD MAKE IT SO IF YOU CHOOSE NONE IT CHOOSES A blank.gif IMAGE! FIXED NOE THOUGH!
Excellent hack! Question though, is it possible to make a State/Province option also or would this be too much? It might be nice also that when you move your mouse over the flag, it comes up with the country's name. Just a thought anyway .
Jigga master, Thanks for this hack. Also thanks for the Welsh flag. Someone already mentioned a Dutch flag. Now we have the Welsh i suppose someone is going to ask where is the English, Scotish etc. Cheers. Great work. Viking.
Cool man.. You ansered a question I had concerning the Moods Mod as well I think. The moods mod does the same thing (goes back to none upon re-entering profile)..
Would the code be similar? I don't know too much about this, but it just seems like it is checking which profile 'slot' of sorts the flag info is kept when opening the flag_lists.pl file.
Can you figure out why my forums show the location on rollover as well or is this normal?
I attempted to look for the code below, and it was not found within flags_list.pl...
Are the files you're working on the fix for, the same that's inside of the current flag hack zip? I get the error you were trying to bugfix, and would really appreciate getting this worked out.
I like this hack so much that I would like to make selecting your country's flag a required field. Can you think about that for the next version. Thanks again.
Ok I am having a problem in my control panel where the Manage Flags is. See when I want to upload flags it trys to upload them to d:/ubb/ubb/flags (Flag Directory) and I have them upload to /web/ubb/flags for my server. /web/ubb/ is my noncgi dir so i figured /flags would eb the place to put them but yet they dont show up.... Does anyone know how I can fix this? My UBB URL is www.animeinstinct.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi
Those who requested state flags, I now have them uploaded (same size as the countries).
This set includes Washington D.C., as well as Puerto Rico for a total of 52.
Be aware that flags, especially STATE flags suffer alot of detail loss when using at 21x14 pixels. You've been warned! http://www.eternia.com/State_Flags.zip
hey just wanted to let you know that you accidently added Puerto Rico in with the State Flags... Puerto Rico is a country, just letting ya know and to take it out...
If you read his post that's above yours, it wasn't an accident.
Puerto Rico is not a country. It is a commonwealth of the United States, and has been since 1952. They have even voted on becoming a State in '98, but narrowly lost with 53% of the population voting against statehood.
But anyway, coOL hack! I'm gonna look at installing it now using the State flags.
For some reason, i followed all the directions correctlly. editied like it should be done, but for some odd reason, i get no errors at all, but nothing shows up in the CP and when I goto edit my profile, there is no flag option. I'm using V6.01.. any ideas on whats wrong?
does anyone else get a problem that whenever you modify your profile you have to choose your flag every time? can it be done so it is like the avatar hack, where unless you change it, it stays where it was?
I had that problem too. But the flag was showing. I added the Code Buttons hack right after that and now I show a broken flag everytime. the reason that I get the broken images is because for some reasons the image is displaying as http://www.myurl.net/exchange/flags...tes.gifhttp://www.myurl.net/excha nge/fl ags/United_States.gifhttp://www.myurl.net/exchange/flags/United_States.gif" alt="myurl.com is from Miami">
I disabled it from my cp and now instead of a dropdown box it shows a text box with the following line in there: http://www.myurl.net/exchange/flags...ifhttp://www.myurl.net/exchange/f lags/A ngola.gifhttp://www.myurl.net/exchange/flags/United_States.gifhttp://www.myurl.net/exchange/flags/United_States.gifhttp://www.myurl.net/exchange/flags/United_States.gif
myurl being my actual url. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the problem seem to happen when you try to change a flag. The you get two or more URL back to back

Thank you! It worked for me. And I had move the flag after "From:" at below. It look more better. Just check the $Author_extra at the ubb_lib_posting.cgi (I forgot the name) and of course, remove both at the flag cgi file.
I try to install my first hack, the flags of Jigga-Master version 0.9b but in setting flags show me that I don't have permision for to go inside. Are there a posible problem with the license, I paid the individual for one year $125.oo I have ubb version 6.04b
Another point in the instructions one file have the name cp_manage_flags.pl but, the file have this name cp_manage_flag.pl thera are one s in that.
I'm sorry if it sounds stupid for you guys, but isn't it possible to automise? I mean to really hack a visitor's IP and make an automated choice of flags based on that?
Can anyone figure out how to make the Country flag a required registration field and make it stick when you edit your profile? I would be most appreciated!
Alright Alright... Everyone who was having the problem with the Flags Manager.. Here is instructions!
1. Get Flags Hack installed. 2. Go to Control Panel 3. Go to Primary Settings >> Flag Settings 4. Enter the path to your flag directory(if you do not know it contact your ISP or give me ftp access so I can find out). 5. You can not use your Flag Manager.
I hope to work on this hack some and get it ready for the finished forum.
Known Issues: *Have to re-select flag in profile.*
I'm running 6.1, and was told this hack would work, so I added in everything, but came across a problem.. CP.CGI will not load for me, when I enter the code, per the readme...
Yet if I take that out, the control panel will load for me.. And I can see the other entries, under the control panel for the flags and what not, but of course, can't get access to those sections.. Does anyone know if it's the code, me, or what could be done to get this to work? I can't figure out what is wrong here, plus I'd love to use this hack on my board... Any help?
yup! The other UBB board I work on has it an thats 6.1! I lost the zip file though cuz i want to install it on 6.2! (although it will need a slight modification for 6.2) need the link someone!! PPLEEEASSE! theres a big kiss in it for ya!
I've got modifications all the way back to 5.46 on this computer (lots more on another, but I gotta go to my dad's business to check it out ) but I don't have this one.... I'll look on the other pv next time I'm there tho, maybe a miracle will happen
