[SOLVED] Country Flag option?

Hello,

Is there a way to have the country flag show up in the members profiles? I did a search in Google and found a very old plugin that seems to do this. However i do not want to use it since it was written in 2009 joomlacode.org/gf/project/cb_profileflags Can anyone recommend something else that does this?

Kind Regards

You can use a delimiter field with IF substitutions based off your country field then show an image based off the value. Alternative is to create an image per country and have their filename match the field value name then you just need to substitute in the field value as the image src. Example as follows.

OK so no plugin for this, can you maybe explain the exact steps to take to achieve this. I need the Dummies version please LOL.

Thanks
Alan

You need an image per country. You then need to have the name of the images match the values of your country select field. You can then use the above example substitution so it pulls an image with the same value of the users field. There's a couple other ways of doing this. For example a database that has countries and the images they belong to then pull the appropriate value with CB Query Field by checking if your country select field has a value in the database. You could also have a bunch of substitution IF statements to check for a country you want an image for then display the image. The above example is the easiest, but it requires strictly named images and field values.

OK thanks for the info, i will first attempt to find the images. If i can do that it seems the rest of this is not to bad.

Thanks

Code:

<img src="mysite.com/images/countries/[cb_country].png" />

And what would the if statement look like? Again sorry but im not a coder so some of this goes over my head.

I have all the images now in my "images" folder under country, but im not sure exactly how to write an if statement and do i do that in a delimiter field?

Sorry for the dumb questions.
