Member Registration: country list, possible to modify?

[jurgenvt]

Hi, I was wondering if i can modify the list with countries in the registration form?

i basically need 3 or for and one “other”. i also would like to have one as standard selected.

thank you!

They are hard coded… 8(

1. Edit the eMember_misc_functions.php file.
2. Look for the emember_country_list_dropdown() function.
3. Edit as applicable.

Is it missing any country from the list? If it is we will add them. Which ones are missing?

We can also add a filter there if it will help. Let me know if you want that.

Hi,

thank you wzp, i will check it out.

@admin: no i don’t think a country is missing, but 99.999999% of my members will reside in the netherlands, the rest in belgium, germany and other

so i will not be needing this extensive list.

$options = ”;

foreach ($countries as $country) {

$selected = (strtolower($country) == strtolower($select)) ? “selected=’selected'” : “”;

$options .= “<option $selected value='” . $country . “‘ > $country </option>”;

will it be possible to provide a standard selected country. ?

thank you

Change:

array(“”, “Afghanistan”,

To:

array(“Standard Default Country”, “Afghanistan”,

thank you wzp. works! this is great!

You can also reorder the country list, if you want; in order of political preference.

I need to add “Bermuda” to the country list. I’ll modify the code above if needed. Can I put that in my child theme to protect it from updates? If so, what would be the appropriate file structure?

Would that edited country list also display for the backend new member creation?

[admin]

If “Bermuda” is a country then we will add it to country list in our plugin. As far as I know, Bermuda is not officially a country. Is my understanding wrong?

[wplove]

Good point. It’s not officially a country. That being established, if I modify the code to include it anyway, is there a way to protect that change from future updates?

[wzp]

No. Once you modify any of the files, it becomes your responsibility to keep a backup of your modifications, and to reinstate them after each software update. Normally, once your site enters “production mode” and is running properly, there should be little reason for you to update the software that frequently.

I have a different but related question:

I don’t need the country code for this particular website – all our members will be from the US state of North Carolina, but what I need is to change the Country code to County, and from there list our 100 counties. Can I accomplish this in the same way you described here?

Thanks,

Hi Audrey, What you suggested is doable. After you change the list in the code, you probably want to use the following technique to change the label of “Country” to “County” for the front-end:

Hi there, I’ve changed the list and the front end labels – basically found every instance of ‘country’ or ‘countries’ and changed them to ‘county’ and ‘counties’ in the however the dropdown box is not working now. The placeholder box is there, but no dropdown activity. Suggestions? And thanks in advance!
