Description:
This Add on, gives a selection of Countries that your Member (New or Existing) can choose from in a 'Drop-Down Menu'. The Country he/she selects, will be displayed as a Flag in their Postbit.
Instructions:
Firstly “Upload” ALL the Flag GIF pics to your forum root /images/buttons/flags folder.
IE: yourforumaddress.com/forum/images/buttons/flags
Please Note: Due to the flags folder being too large to upload as one - I have been forced to upload it as "flags1", "flags2" and "flags3" - Please ensure that you add a new folder to "images/buttons/" and name it "flags". Please copy the contents of ALL THREE (3) flags folders in the attachment below to the new 'flags' folder that you have just made. (DO NOT place them as 3 seperate folders!"
Then in your Admin Control Panel (ACP), please do the following:
ACP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field ->Profile Field Type -> Single-Selection Menu (select ‘Single-Selection Menu’ from the Drop-Down Menu) -> Please enter the following into the following fields (REMEMBER to make a note of the FieldID, because you will need to replace ALL the X’s in [fieldX] with it!!!
(Please see 'FieldID.jpg' attachment below).
Add New User Profile Field Single-Selection Menu:
Title = Country Flag
Description = Add your country flag to your profile:
Profile Field Category = (Uncategorized)

Which page displays this option? = Edit Your Details ** Please note that the vB4.0.4 Version does not show this option. Please select "Edit Profile" option. The selct your country flag option, I can confirm, Also shows on registration too.
** SAVE **
Then, In your Admin Control Panel (ACP)...
ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> <<>> -> Postbit Templates -> select the template that you use (ie Postbit or Posbit_legacy) – This is for the Postbit_Legacy…
FIND:
If you would like to place it under your number of user posts (to the right of your Postbit) then look for:
(upto vB4.0.5) ADD BELOW:
(for vB4.0.6 AND 4.0.7) ADD BELLOW:
(Also adds the Username to the 'alt' Code on Mouseover).
(for vB4.0.8):

Even though I have not tested this in these versions, others have and have reported this mod to be working in them.
Please make sure the style and template edits are still there. Just one of the people can be seen on post 350
