Efiction Mod: Country of Origin with Flags

2007-12-07T13:40:32Z

I don't really consider this my mod since I just created it from the Hogwarts Hat mod. However I like the fact I wrote it. :) I didn't implement all the flags just the ones I wanted and so here it is:

or

Images used: FamFamFam Silk and Flag Icons

Flag Image Page Download

Instead of downloading the silk package here are the extra two I used for Everywhere and Nowhere:
|
*please don't hotlink, just "save image as" to your computer.*

Download -> Extract -> Upload the flags folder to your site and if using add these two famfamfam "silk images" as well.

Note: If you don't want to use Nowhere and Everywhere, simply remove these:

Custom Form Code

and

Custom Profile Code

But remember in the last line for my Custom Profile Code remove the last {else} in the code or it won't function properly.

Log into your efiction and then:

Admin -> Profile Information -> Add New Profile

In the text boxes:
Name: flag
Title: Country
check the box for field enabled

Drop Down Menu choose:
Custom Code

In the Custom Form Code add this:

$output .= "<div><label for='af_".$field['field_name']."'>".$field['field_title'].":</label><SELECT type='text' class='textbox'  name='af_".$field['field_name']."'>

Create a file called extra_header.php in your skin folder and add this:
