FLAG problem

Post by MARIUS-FFB »

The following examples show the problem with the display of flag symbols in Forum and/or Eurobilltracker Website

Austria flag
:flag-at: (works as "smiley")
https://en.eurobilltracker.com/img/flags/Austria.gif (works NOT with the webaddress of Austria flag)

Finland flag
:flag-fi: (works as "smiley")
https://en.eurobilltracker.com/img/flags/Finland.gif (works NOT with the webaddress of Finland flag)

San Marino flag
:flag-sm: (works as "smiley")
https://en.eurobilltracker.com/img/flags/San Marino.gif (works NOT with the webaddress of San Marino flag)

I want to display an USA- flag on my EBT- profile but there are no "US-flag smileys".
The display of the flag does NOT work with the webaddress of the US-flag.
If I directly insert this flagsymbol address into the address field of the browser, the flag will be displayed.
But if I use this address in the Forum and/or Eurobilltracker Website, the flag will not appear.
See:

NO, I don't want to use external sources for the flag.
And NO, "your" US flag has rounded corners - this is not the correct display of the flag.
The EBT- webpage already has all the flags of the world -> see
https://en.eurobilltracker.com/rankings/?b=countries

Why it is not possible to just take one of these?

The profile supports a limited set of HTML elements. <img> is intentionally not supported, because an <img> element pointing to some other website than EBT could be used for malicious purposes. There is currently no mechanism to allow <img> elements only if the src points to EBT, and I would not hold my breath waiting for that kind of mechanism to emerge.

Hello avij,

yes, I already assumed the limitation of HTML coding.

YES, YES, YES!
I want to point to EBT - to the concerning US- flag with the URL on the EBT server:

Code: Select all

https://en.eurobilltracker.com/img/flags/UnitedStates.gif
In the Forum here, it is working, see --> Image
On my profile this does not work even though the src points to EBT.

That's why I wanted to point out:
The solution are SMILEYS
These smileys work very good on the profile.
But there's only a little problem: These smileys are limited and there is no "US- flag smiley" which I could use.

My request: Please extend the smilies chart with more countries flags!

The short code for the various countries is specified with the ISO 3166-2 code list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2

So the smiley for the US- flag should be :flag-us:
