Very nice, I'll give this one a try.

Works fantastic; however, when registering before a flag is selected, the flag icon shows up as a broken image.

[nedka]

Ah, I use "images/spacer.gif" if no flag is selected, but seem its path isn't correct. I will fix this in the next version of this MOD.

[romans1423]

I'm really not for sure what is causing it, but the image is loading like this:

Code: Select all

id="flag_image" alt="" />

I commented out this line:

Code: Select all

$flag_image .= ($row['flag_image']) ? $phpbb_root_path . $config['flags_path'] . '/' . $row['flag_image'] : $phpbb_root_path . 'images/spacer.gif';

in includes/ucp/ucp_register.php as it didn't seem to be needed; everything works fine without it.

[nedka]

Just a quick fix with ucp_register.php file:

FIND:

Code: Select all

$flag_image .= ($row['flag_image']) ? $phpbb_root_path . $config['flags_path'] . '/' . $row['flag_image'] : $phpbb_root_path . 'images/spacer.gif';

REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all

$flag_image = ($selected) ? $phpbb_root_path . $config['flags_path'] . '/' . $row['flag_image'] : $phpbb_root_path . 'images/spacer.gif';

Thanks your report, romans1423!
For code changes from 0.7.0 to 0.8.0, please view updates/0.7.0_to_0.8.0.txt file in the download package.

[romans1423]

Works great, thanks!

[fiorefrank]

Would you consider adding some sot of countries who have visited today to the users online area of the index page? Maybe even a link to a page listing every country that has ever visited with both the flag and the country name (more stats could be added to the this page such as percentages of visitors each country represents).

I have a forum that is a global community and think it would be wonderful to see at a glance how broad our membership is. Currently there are 40+ countries a day visiting this site.

Have you ever seen Trace Watch? They do a great implementation of presenting these statistics but there is really no way to easily share this information with the community at large.

Lastly, and my apologies for such a long post with so many requests but you might want to take a look at the program above for automating the country choice so you eliminate both the chance someone would choose a country other than the one they are in and the possibility they might not choose at all. Of course the user could opt to keep their location private but the system would still be able to count the anonymously.

Best regards,
