With the constant nagging from Mr_Canada I finaly got around to adding in Team Flags.
I will be replacing the former open ended field for "Favorite Hockey Team" with a select list. This will make counting how many members prefer which team much easier. Right now people that like The Maple Leafs might type in, Toronton, leafs, maple leafs, or any number of other combinations.
Now with the list everyone will have the same team name and the list is like the Country Flag list, each item has an image linked to it. The image in this case is the Team Logo. The logo will show up in your profile page. I am going to add an option to enable this logo to show in the forums by your avatar, in place of 1 of the user group logos.
I will also have to update the statistics page to reflect these changes, but it will make the hockey team stats more accurate.
For now I have left the open-ended field in place and below it is the select box. Everyone should edit thier profile and choose one of the teams from the list, this will overwrite whatever is currently in your Fav hockey Team field.
ok I added an option in your profile to enable display of your team logo in the forums.
under "Forum Preferences" in your profile, "Show Hockey Team Logo:".
It is off by default.
Later I will make it so you can click the team logo and it will show a page with all other members who have that team selected in there profile.
This is awesome, Trevor!!
Thanks!
Sweet Trev!!!!
Thanks Trevor!
Wait!! I dont see mine....Can anyone else see mine??????
Nope.. getting a little box, TG.
It's broken.
AWWWW.....even the icon is broken just like the damn Canucks....
Ok....my bad....I just dont read instructions all the way thru....oopsy all fixed
**UPDATE**
Too go along with the team logos, I started some work on a proper Sports section for CKA. Eventualy I would like a page for each major sport and each team.
The Team logos will now link to that teams page. I have started work on a team page for "Ottawa Senators".
See here, or find someone with Sens logo displayed and click it

If anyone with some basic html or php skills wants to help out in the creation of pages for each team, let me know. I can make the php and framework, but it would really help me if I had someone to help finding content and news feeds, links and such.
WOOOO!
Thank you, and kickass.
