viewtopic.php

I was nosing around looking for something - -

$$

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$topic_user_from_flag = $$forum_topic_data['user_from_flag']

;)

That's not a typo, that's just a dynamicly named variable. Look :

Code: [Hide]

$a = 50; 
$foo = 'a'; 
echo $$foo; //prints 50

Thanks,

I learn something everyday from here. :mryellow:

But the last time I did that as a typo - it caused me all sorts of grief. :(

So one just assumed - - -

It can happen in little viewed files but usually something like this produces an error, and in the viewtopic I believe this would've been spotted.

I believe anything about phpBB code that starts in one file, goes through half a dozen more and finally ends up in the tpl file? :(

The reason I was there is because I took the Country Flags mod DB and ported it to my playground and ended up adding the Country automatically to the flag both on the same line and mouse-over and inserting it into the user-profiles wherever the flag is shown and moused over.

Location - Becomes - "Paris, Rome or Oodnawoopwoop etc, and on mouse-over the alt/title is "Rome Italy" - "Paris France" etc.

As in the pic.

Trying to dig where all of that is put together in Icy/phpBB files and do the same thing for IP, is an exercise in itself :(

Maybe you would like to do it, because currently the only information one gets from the flag most of the time is that it's just a "little coloured rectangle" made up from about 24-36px. :lol:

To make a point - Mouse over my Flag here, and my location is "Behind You" - If it was "Behind You Australia" it would at least make some sense, because for me, like others - the flags that are used here denote nothing because of their size, and mean very little to anyone because there is seldom any Country recognition of the flag itself.

:mrgreen:

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll think about this.

My friend if it was easy for me to dig out I would have done it because it's such a bit of easy coding just to echo the "country_name" where the user flag = user id.
