Country Flags [Deleted]

No worries, glad it worked

Login to your Control Panel and access phpMyAdmin. Find your XenForo database and locate the table called "xf_custom_fields". Execute the following SQL code:

I'm in PHPMYADMIN and I have no such directory called xf_custom_fields. What should I do???

What version of XenForo are you using? This requires 1.1 or higher.

 

[Cal]

I have the newest version. Can't go any higher lol.

Sorry, typo: xf_user_field

If XenForo has a hook some place for interacting in user profile fields, so that a modification can make it's own (generate its own), without the user having to manually impute it directly .... I'm not finding one.

(Although I admit to never needing to generate on through a modification, so I could be missing it)

I can now see why now you did it the way you did.

I have it installed, but it doesn't seem to be fully displayed correctly....



I can see part of the flag I picked and some others from the sprite (see screen shot).

Never mind.

I found out that I couldn't just simply leave the path "as is" OR use the standard @imagePath

I have to type out the full http://www. address

Works now.

You need access to your phpMyAdmin panel. If you do not have access then you can ask your hosting provider to do it for you.

There is a tab that says "SQL", click on it and it will have a box with some text in it. Replace all that copy with the code I supplied and hit "GO" in the lower right-hand corner. When you get a green success message you're done.

Sorry, but that is the process and worked perfectly fine for me. I'm not sure about your installation or perhaps you didn't name your field id "country"?

I've fully followed your instructions, everything is how it should be.

Hi sorry i sussed out the error and it now works, thanks

This looks like a fantastic new feature, should be default imho.

Is there any way that I can display the flag by itself and nothing else?

Sure, for the Value HTML, use this:

<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="flag flag-{$choice}" alt="{$value}" />

The drop down for country shows in the profile details page, but when I check "Show custom user fields" then it doesn't show up under the avatar.

Any thoughts?

Update: Working. I did not have the "Viewable in message user info" checked. This is found under the Users -> Custom User Fields -> Country -> General Options.
