i hav seen this hack at work on your forums and i must say it is a good one

that would be cool, so do users pick this option when registering?

yea and when registering!

jigga i think you mean

also when updating your profile and registering

kool. im gonna use this one for sure, any ideas on when it will be released?

and also, wil there be some graphics (flags) included with the zip file?

-oh yea and also will it work with the atatar hack or can u only have one or the other?

Hey Jigga-Master contact me on AIM later, I left you a message, because you where away.

Yes, you can use both.

Yes, a large set of flags will be available.

alien when are you going to get your site up

This seems like a really nice hack :), I can't wait till it's released and I think I'll wait till you get some bugs out of it before I install it.

~ M_E_W

koo yea its not buggy @ all just some customization i need to to

Jigga-Master

Ok just got the hack and have it installed working great Well Done

Anyone who wants to see go here
null My Test Site

Only as this is a test board and I am also testing the login hack you will need to register for access

Damn that statemant above is stupid wake wheele [ you need to register to test the adding of the flag you fool ]
:rolleyes:

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.

Or ill include a input field with your choice!

GOT IT
FINALLY!
lol took me 6 mins!
or two outkast songs!
more like 8 sorry

Sounds like a very good idea

I have also updated my online test board if anyone wants to play go here

Online Line Test Board

I willbe shuting the other one down as its on my PC

ok sweet!

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.

hey i had it in there but its too high! and it doesent look nice there!

cool.

this hack come with a total of 109 flags!
hopefull yi will be including something with all canada flags and american flags!

Added and working. Looks good.

Of course it helps to turn on the profile your using.

I did notice that if you go back into your profile, that the flag defaults back to "none".

[ March 24, 2001: Message edited by: diettalk ]

o serious?
wierd it doesent do that 4 me!

Jigga, how do you get that custom text? Under the Star ratings... I would really like to know how...

https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=20&t=000084

Flag Hack version 1.0 will be here shortly, hope you like it.

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.


Now to find a Dutch flag!...LOL

Thnx...
Wizkid

Man, much of the coding looks sooooo familiar

Anyways,

cp_manage_flag.pl.

Change the info line to:

&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.

q

Thanks qasic for the pointer, we will add that as soon as Jigga-Master gets back.

I was asked for a Wales flag.

Here is your Wales flag:

[ March 25, 2001: Message edited by: Gamer ]

Just reading this thread and am slightly confused...

Is there a difference between country flags hack v 1.0 and flagshack?

NOPE!

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...

DD...does it really matter where they appear?
and ill add it to the zip asap!

updated zip with addons from above n that walez flag!

Thanks for the update.

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.

true!

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!

Jigga,

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 .

AgentX

I've already added state flags on my site--I haven't found a good site with free gifs of Canadian provinces yet but will keep looking.

It's pretty easy to add your own state gifs--either through the cp panel or just by uploading your new gifs yourself.

twin keep us posted!

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.

I've also been asked for an English Flag as well viking30.

BUGFIX: Flag Hack

Problem: Upon returning to profile, the Flag Icon defaults to "None" if the field used in the UBB for flag hack was not profile number 17.

Fix:

In flags_list.pl

FIND:

$Flags .= qq(----------------------------------- );

ADD BELOW:

my $check;
if ($vars_flags{flagsfield} eq "1") {
$check = qq($user_profile[16]);
}
elsif ($vars_flags{flagsfield} eq "2") {
$check = qq($user_profile[17]);
}
elsif ($vars_flags{flagsfield} eq "3") {
$check = qq($user_profile[18]);
}
elsif ($vars_flags{flagsfield} eq "4") {
$check = qq($user_profile[19]);
}

FIND:

if ("$vars_flags{flagsurl}/$flagsitem" eq "$user_profile[17]") {

REPLACE THAT LINE WITH:

if ("$vars_flags{flagsurl}/$flagsitem" eq $check) {

Save and Re-Upload.

Bug fixed!

q

Hey qasic..

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've never used the MM's Mood hack or the iMood hack so I wouldn't know. Sorry.

q

it looks awsome, i must say good work!

Heya...

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.

Thanks!

$Flags .= qq(----------------------------------- );

I was just coming back to post the fix to the fix.

lol

Yup, the line above by J-M is the correct line to search for!

Now update the zip!

it conficts with my stars hack, i think in puplic topic page.pl

Does anyone know a wor arround?

I get blank squares with crosses through

Do you have a url, so we may look at the problem?

Any news on the English flag?

ill look today!

Thanks Jigga...

Great hack - I finally got around to adding it to my forum. Been busy trouble shooting who's online. Thanks.

thanx!

works great.

I always look forward to a Jigga hack!

thanx sifu!

JM, can you reupload the hack? the link is no longer there...as a matter of fact, 411hype.com is gone for now

Here is a working download, while Jigga's DNS is down. DOWNLOAD HERE

Jigga-Master,

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.

Jim

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...

I have now worked up to 240 flags including English so if anyone wants any please e-mail me.
Viking.
viking30@austarnet.com.au

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.

Not a bug, but something that would be handy and make the hack more complete.

When you go into CP, and into edit your members' profiles, flag choice doesn't show up in there.

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?

cool hack.. I had included in my Forum

Am I the only one not to get this hack working ???

I did everything to the letter and in CP I set everything up right .

I went to my profile and I could choose a flag ! So far so good !

When I post no flag appears ?

Other hacks I have running are Stars and Who is online , Both work perfect !

Please help or offer advice!

John

I have just registered on my board again !

Anyway

Once again I get to choose the flag ..

When the disclaimer comes up now though the ACCEPT or LEAVE buttons are just blank !

Glad I backed everything up now !

Nope Just found this hack, and installed it.

Same problem. You can go in, and select a flag in your profile, but it is not visable when you post in the forum.

No worky

This seems like a great hack and everything went as it should of done during the installation.

But if i goto the my profile page in v6.4 it brings up 2 script errors, (with browser debugging enabled).



Is anyone else getting this, or better still anyopne know why?

Sorted it, It was caused by my header having a form in it so the forms[0] had to be forms[1]. You may wanna reference them by name

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

Everyone who installed this mod might be intrested in this

nice work spawn

Glad you like it

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.

Hi all,

Very nice hack:):)
I have 1 question...I have installed the hack fine...All cp functions are there,and also in your profile..

When i goto my profile to pick a flag,i get nothing in the dropdown box:(:(

Could any1 help please...

Thanx in advance...

Any way to make the Flag a required registration field?

Hi.

This is my first reply.

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.

Thanks.

i got a problem

the flags directory is http://www.gobblespot.com/ubb/flags

in the setup where it say...
Flags Path
Give the full path to your flags directory (e.g., /usr/www/ubb/flags)

i put in all the possible paths i can think of but when i go to flags setup, no flags are shown why??

Jigga or someone PLEASE HELP

im getting

Unable to open /httpdocs/ubb/flags/country.gif file for writing.
(this happend to all combinations of the actual path that i put in)

happens to all of em, theyre all uploaded aswell but they still dont show up in "Manage Flags"
PLEASE HELP

[ May 05, 2001 10:12 PM: Message edited by: EviL*NoddY ]

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?

flags setup? Not sure what that is. If you have everything right and no flags are showing, then try...


In the "registration settings" in cp.

1) Go to Primary Settings -> Flag Settings.

Look at the custom field and note the number.

2) Go to Primary Settings -> Registration Settings.

Under "Custom Registration Fields" make sure you have the custom field number turned on for the number you noted in #1.



[ May 06, 2001 10:19 AM: Message edited by: diettalk ]

thanks for this great hack

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!

nice hack
my members love it

I don't know why but it say to me

You do not have permission to access this area.
» Use your browser's back button to return.

If I chose Flags Settings or Manage Flags from the control panel

Any one can help with this problem????

By the way i useing 6.04f

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.*

why is the download in the beginning offline
i really would like 2 download this mod. anyway
can someone mail it 2 [email protected]

that would also be very cool

Does anybody have a copy of the Country Hack zip file that I can d/l or that they can e-mail me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think I have it. Lemme find it and I'll upload it for you.

yes, where can we get it.. i noticed that the files from the 411 site are all bad

Hi,

can anyone send me this hack, because the downloadlink doesn't work!

Or is there an other link???

d-talk

The link is gone, I don't think I have this hack on my comp...

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...

FIND:

} #end set_cats

AFTER PUT:

if (($ubb eq 'vars_flags') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/flags_control.pl";
&FlagsSettings; exit;
} #end vars_flags

if (($ubb eq 'set_vars_flags') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/flags_control.pl";
&SetFlagsSettings; exit;
} #end set_vars_flags

if (($ubb eq 'manage_flag') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/flags_control.pl";
&FlagManage; exit;
} #end manage_flag

if (($ubb eq 'do_m_flag') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/flags_control.pl";
&DoFlagManage; exit;
} #end do_m_flag

if (($ubb eq 'do_upload_flag') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/flags_control.pl";
&UploadFlag; exit;
} #end do_upload_flag

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?

The link is dead

And I'm actually using a 6.1 board, does it work on it

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 found this link
http://neo-forums.netfirms.com/flagshack.zip

Does anybody have a copy of this?

Thank you

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
