I have this installed, works great! Any way to modify it to a more local level? Example I have a mostly US based group was looking to do State Shapes or State Flags.

Sure, this should be straightforward and you can probably do this all within GitHub (and not have to use git):

How to add your own flags or emblems:

Fork the repo https://github.com/Ebsy/discourse-nationalflags/tree/master/public/images/nationalflags. This is a simple button press but you might need a new GitHub account if you don’t already have one.

Edit (within your fork) https://github.com/Ebsy/discourse-nationalflags/blob/master/config/flags.yml to add your new emblem codes and image names. Emblem codes must be unique! Use a sensible convention. You can do this directly on GitHub.

Edit (ditto) https://github.com/Ebsy/discourse-nationalflags/blob/master/config/locales/client.en.yml to add your descriptions, one for each new emblem/flag you wish to add. Codes should correspond to those in 2.
Upload your new images (pref .png format and 64px x 48px) whose file names correspond to the entries you made in 2 into (within your fork) https://github.com/Ebsy/discourse-nationalflags/tree/master/public/images/nationalflags

Replace the plugin url in your app.yml with your fork address https://github.com/your-github-username/discourse-nationalflags
Rebuild ./launcher rebuild app

Having a community with people from lots of interesting-but-unusal countries, I noticed that there doesn’t seem to be alt text to describe the country name when you hover over the flag images.

I’m not great with flags; there are so many countries! Any chance of adding an alt tag for the image at some point?

It appears this plugin no longer works with the current version of Discourse, preventing a rebuild in my case.

merefield · July 19, 2020, 10:00am

Cannot reproduce. I have just rebuilt two sites that use it and am having no problems with the rebuild, and have not experienced any issues with the functionality either.

na4a4a · July 20, 2020, 7:52am

Interesting, that’s good at least. I wonder if it’s a conflict with another plugin? I’m going to try to see if I can figure out which, if any, are causing it. Thank you.

Is there a way to retrieve the locale or the flag from a public profile? For example, my profile shows the canadian flag, but I want to retrieve the ca part given my username. The profile is public, so privacy isn’t a concern. How can I retrieve the flag of a user from http?

merefield · August 8, 2020, 3:50pm

Sure just add .json on the end of the address and it will retrieve the data only.

You will see all custom fields including “nationalflags_iso” retrieved.

Firefox is better than Chrome for reviewing the data.

AntiMetaman · August 8, 2020, 4:42pm

Thanks. That was exactly what I was looking for.

R_X · September 2, 2020, 6:50am

Wondering if this has automatic flag all the users based on IP .

Ant_Vincent · September 26, 2020, 11:50am

Could someone kindly help me and tell me how I would move the flag next to username like here please:

fidelio · October 22, 2020, 7:41pm

Is there a way to make National Flags a required User Field on sign-up?

I believe this may fix it, PR raised:

https://github.com/Ebsy/discourse-nationalflags/pull/14

forgive me for the typo!

davidkingham · November 30, 2020, 2:37pm

Thanks Rob, unfortunately it’s back again.

Yeah I’m not sure why the custom wizard API changed again. I’ll have a word with the team.

merefield · December 4, 2020, 1:25pm

OK this will have to be a two-phase fix.

First phase is to expedite a resolution to the build crash:

https://github.com/Ebsy/discourse-nationalflags/commit/a62110aecae171e2fa1d312aef475aad64a6fd0a

I’ve just rebuilt a server again, and this is now building ok.

Unfortunately I don’t believe this will make the flag plugin work with CW again. CW went through a huge refactor that means this integration may no longer work.

I’ll follow up at some stage soon with changes to make it actually work within Wizards again.

Bernardo_Ruiz · January 20, 2021, 1:07am

Hi, i was looking for some help, i recently installed the plugin and haven’t been able to make it work, its enabled, i can see the setting in the user preferences yet the country list is empty:
imagen

What happens when you hit the down arrow? Working for me!
