National Flags

Open source does not mean free. That’s all I’m saying.

Maintenance of the official plugins is paid for by hosting revenue.

If someone wants these features badly enough and they lack the skills but have a budget they know what to do …

Only from some US perspective. Globally, or even by USA itself, they aren’t. Just saying in the meaning if some library is for independent countries there should be only star and stripes, nothing else. Same with union jack and England, Wales and Scotland. Or Germany and its states. Of Swizerland and its cantons. That list is really big, and some (political) opinion from the States should not change principals…

Sure, can be library for all US-states too. And other for all possible flags in the world.

Is possible to unify this plugin with the default ‘region’ field that users fills?

We don’t need two fields with the same data, it leads to confusion.

You can fork it and do whatever you like

(I have no idea if the data will map (sic) nicely, but there are likely to be more flags than regions?)

The plugin deliberately supports the ISO flag set.

Taking a look at Region vs flags. It is the opposite

Ie Where I am, Canada for Flag.
Region Divides Canada

  • Canada_bc
  • Canada_ns
  • and so on

The region starts with country and then a short code for things like province (Canada) and the USA would use states short codes.

I see, then I will try to disable regions because I found national flags more useful for our approach.

We don’t ask more data than basics and flag icons seems to add value to the engagement and relationships built between our members.
