Title: Flashing country flags at variations list
Post by: Bildtstar on January 19, 2013, 09:26:01 AM
Is it possible to get flashing country flags at the variations list for games with multiple regions? It makes it easier to identify a variant.

It's the same in the submission queue. It bothers me A LOT as well, since I can't tell what region something is until I click on the entry and see it's UK or something similar.

Yeah, this is even more of an issue as we fix the Euro section of the DB. It used to be fine since anything with a Euro flag was labeled as regionwide anyway, country specific entries were so far and few between it wasn't an issue.
I'm actually kind of surprised you haven't fixed this yet Shadow.

It's because it's Perl-based and I've been working on the PHP side of things. Also, it harms the production environment having to test directly on the getinfo.pl file, which controls ALL game pages. I'll see what I can do today.

EDIT: I'm REALLY rusty and unfamiliar with perl string manipulation, but Variation Tie-Ins are working appropriately:

Also ensured I didn't break Regionwide Tie-Ins as well.

EDIT EDIT: Working for Related Games as well.

Actually, I passed on a copy of that recently. Raidou submitted an example of the Region flag being used in the submission queue, so off to fix that now.
EDIT: Country flags are screwed up because the countries aren't being passed into the submission review - just the regions.
EDIT EDIT: This should work now for Image submissions in the queue moving forward. Let me know if you see any other instances of this, as there are likely other areas broken.

Neat, this is actually an issue I've been wanting to report myself, just hadn't gotten round to actually making a topic yet. :)

Awesome!  This will make spotting variants easier.
