Nationale Vlaggen (fork)

[chapoi]

This is a fork of National Flags (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

	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.

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)

Nogmaals bedankt voor het doen van dit! Ik was verdrietig bij de gedachte om deze plug-in te verliezen en waardeer enorm de mogelijkheid voor mijn community om elkaar te helpen redelijke verwachtingen van de vlaggen te kennen.

Misschien wil je wat je nu hebt naar Ebsy PR’en vanuit een branch voor het geval hij terugkomt, maar nu je dit apart op je branch hebt geplaatst, moet je je README aanpassen om naar je repository te verwijzen in de installatie-instructies?

@mcdanlj

change your README to reference your repository in the install instructions?

Oh good point will do.

And youre welcome!

Thank you for the update. I was just going to post a bug in the old plugin ..

Though an interesting idea would be to expand the plugin to allow adding a different flag type set

Ie a a province(Canada) or a State(US) might want to use something like this for county/municipal flag/symbol.

Similarity maybe State or Province flags. Maybe an idea to upload different flag sets with alternative Feild text to use instead of the Country flags

Thanks for maintaining this, it’s a cool feature to have

I wonder if this is an expected behavior or the display of the flag should be aligned with the user title?

[chapoi]

Glad you like it.

Not sure what alignment you mean?

Oh, my bad. I think that displaying the national flag next to the user title or user name makes more sense than showing it ‘alone’ as a new isolated field.

I’m on Horizon, perhaps it is related to this theme or my particular instance. Please sorry if it is the last case
