how to use substitutions for languages to show flags

how to use substitutions for languages to show flags was created by mobilehochzeitsdjs
Hi all,

i tried to use substitutions to show flags (images) in userlist and userprofile instead of text.

Our users can choose one or more languages that they can speak.
Therefore i used multiple fields (checkboxes) in profile edit.
There seems to be a problem with my code, because when i use radio-buttons for users to choose only one language, the flag (image) will be displayed. If i use multiple boxes the flags wonÂŽt be displayed.
Code:
<!--[value]--> [cb:if cb_languages="deutsch"]<img src="images/flaggen/germany.png" alt="deutsch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages="englisch"]<img src="images/flaggen/uk.png" alt="englisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages="niederlÀndisch"]<img src="images/flaggen/netherlands.png" alt="niederlÀndisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages="polnisch"]<img src="images/flaggen/poland.png" alt="polnisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages="spanisch"]<img src="images/flaggen/spain.png" alt="spanisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages="französisch"]<img src="images/flaggen/france.png" alt="französisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages="italienisch"]<img src="images/flaggen/itlay.png" alt="italienisch" />[/cb:if]

I donÂŽt understand the operators that i can use. It would be nice if anyone can help me to solve this problem.

A multicheckbox and multiselect store their values as VALUE_1|*|VALUE_2|*|VALUE_3 etc.. This means you can't use an Equal To operator if more than 1 value is selected. You need to use a REGEXP to match the value to account for it having multiple values in a single string. Example as follows.

Code:
[cb:if cb_languages=~"/deutsch/"]<img src="images/flaggen/germany.png" alt="deutsch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages=~"/englisch/"]<img src="images/flaggen/uk.png" alt="englisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages=~"/niederlÀndisch/"]<img src="images/flaggen/netherlands.png" alt="niederlÀndisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages=~"/polnisch/"]<img src="images/flaggen/poland.png" alt="polnisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages=~"/spanisch/"]<img src="images/flaggen/spain.png" alt="spanisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages=~"/französisch/"]<img src="images/flaggen/france.png" alt="französisch" />[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_languages=~"/italienisch/"]<img src="images/flaggen/itlay.png" alt="italienisch" />[/cb:if]

See the below tutorial for further substitution usage information.
