ℹ This is a fork of [National Flags](https://meta.discourse.org/t/national-flags/55969) (which no longer seems to be maintained) and is mainly an updated version to make it work with the latest glimmer/ember/discourse demands.

It’s therefor almost functionally identical, with only some small changes (see below).

I don’t want to hijack the original topic, in case the author comes back 🙂

| ℹ | **Summary** | Shows a country flag next to the username on posts and on the profile. |

### Features

After installing and enabling in `admin/plugins`, users can find a new custom setting called ‘National Flag’ on their /preferences/profile` page.

 ![example-2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/3/9/f/39fbb2c79dde2f26b031dcb97039e213f265ba16.png)

After selecting a country from the dropdown, the flag image will be displayed alongside their name in topics and on their user profile.

### Configuration

Just needs enabling.

To migrate from the original plugin, change `Ebsy` to `chapoi` in the line in your `containers/app.yml` that installs this plugin, and rebuild your site.

Settings are retained. (thanks to @mcdanlj for testing)

### UX differences with original plugin

- Flag renders a bit smaller on posts: it’s now set to the font-size, instead of fixed value
- The setting dropdown shows full country names, instead of ISO codes
- The Wizard setup is no longer present. (I’m not sure if it ever worked, but I think it’s best to keep this type of detai setup in a later phase instead of onboarding)
