ENJOY!

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.

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".

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...

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. <font color="red">Be careful. Once flags are deleted, there will be no way to recover the avatar. </font> ), "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.

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:

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 .
