Title: Country Flags
Post by: Doctor-2-B on Feb 18, 2014

Can we get the name of the country to appear when we hover over someone's country flag? I think you have to add a title to the img HTML tag. Should be a fairly easy feature to add. I think it'd be cool to know where people are from by hovering over their flag if they have one.

I'm with you. There was one flag I'd never even seen before.

You can drag the image to the address bar and get a two-letter country abbreviation, but it just seems really intuitive to make that a popup tooltip text.

Hi guys,

When I added that modification, I was really new to writing code, so to be honest, I wrote it terribly and haven't changed it since! The best I can do with the time that I have is, when you hover over it, it will display the file name, which is a crude abbreviation of the country. Do you think this will suffice or...? :s

Actually, I take it back, I found a script online that might just do the trick!

Code:

function CountryFlag()

Thanks for thinking about this for us. :)

Hi Doctor-2-B, perhaps you can help me figure this code out...

Here is the code that calls out the flag:

Code:

$result_flag = db_query("SELECT shop_Flag
FROM {$db_prefix}members
WHERE ID_MEMBER = {$context['member']['id']}
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$row_flag = mysql_fetch_array($result_flag, MYSQL_ASSOC);

if($row_flag['shop_Flag'] !== '')
echo '<img style="vertical-align: middle; padding-left: 1ex;" src="',$boardurl,'/Sources/shop/flag_images/',$row_flag['shop_Flag'],'">';

I want to be able to merge $row_flag with this array, but I'm not sure how...

Code:

If you want to write in code in your post, use the bbcode [code][/code]...

Title: Re: Country Flags

The problem is that as written, .png comes attached to the row from the DB. If there's another column in the DB that has the flag name without the .png, that would make the code more concise. i.e. I wouldn't have to chop the .png off using the substr(-4).

Change

Code:

echo '<img style="vertical-align: middle; padding-left: 1ex;" src="',$boardurl,'/Sources/shop/flag_images/',$row_flag['shop_Flag'],'">';

Code:

echo '<img style="vertical-align: middle; padding-left: 1ex;" title='"CountryFlag()[substr($row_flag['shop_Flag'],0,-4)]'" src="',$boardurl,'/Sources/shop/flag_image/',$row_flag['shop_Flag'],'">';

There may be some minor syntax errors (it's hard to make sure the quotes are correct and such without a live environment), but the basic idea is that CountryFlag() returns the associative array and you reference the member with the filename of the flag minus the .png.

It didn't work, unfortunately :-\

Try this before giving up on it. I think I made an error with my quotes:

Code:

$cf_array = CountryFlag();
$cf = $cf_array[substr($row_flag['shop_Flag'],0,-4)];
echo '<img style="vertical-align: middle; padding-left: 1ex;" title="',$cf,'" src="',$boardurl,'/Sources/shop/flag_images/',$row_flag['shop_Flag'],'">';
