Hello IMP!
Try to add a new image in skins/[SHOP_SKIN_NAME]/customer/images/flags/[LOWERCASE_LANG_CODE].png
Where
LOWERCASE_LANG_CODE is en, nl, ru etc.
SHOP_SKIN_NAME is basic, cars, your store skin.
For example, skins/basic/customer/images/flags/ru.png
Best regards, Alt-team

PLZ help

Hi,
The way Cs-Cart handles flags has changed in recent versions (3.0.x). The comment form Alt-Team is correct for versions 2.2.x or lower (Alt-Team deserves me a great respect, as I've found many of his comments among the most useful in the forum).
For version 3.0.x CS-Cart only handles 1 png file and, via CSS, it locates the starting position of the flag inside this unique png image.
So, in order to add a flag, you must:[list]
[]Edit the file “flags.png” in order to add the new flag. I recommend you to add it to the end of the image.
[]Then you must replace your new file for the old one, in the “admin” and “customer” directory of your active skin
[]After that, you shoul edit the css file, for each section (“admin” and “customer”). Those files are in
[list]
[]For the “admin” section: skins/your_active_skin/admin/styles.css
[]For the “customer” section: skins/your_active_skin/customer/base.css
[/list][]What you'll need to do, for each case is the following:
[list]
[]Open the css file and search for the label .flag.flag-zw{background-position: 0 -4347px;}
[]After that line, add the following: .flag.flag-your_two_letter_prefix{background-position: 0 -4364px;}
[/list][]And that's all!
[]Please, keep in mind that “your_two_letter_prefix” must be the same as the one you're using to identify the language in cs-cart. In my case, as I wanted to add the catalan flag for use with the catalan language, I first created such language file in Cs-Cart admin, I labelled it “ct”, and then, I added the css label: .flag.flag-ct{background-position: 0 -4364px;}
[/list]
I attach the flags.png that I modified in order to include the catalan flag, so you will see how I did it.
Hope that helps! And don't hesitate to amend me if there's something not accurate in my post!
