I noticed that on my ADD page, the country list is no longer in alphabetical order. What would cause this? Where can I edit the country list? Can I have United States as the default?

I'm running Dew-NewPHPLinks v.2.0.1.0b SEF

I figured out that the country list is dependent on the .gif images. They are not in alphabetical order on teh drop down (ADD Page), what controls that, or what can I check?

I knew I had the answer to this in my notes, but while looking for it, I found notes regarding another common bug you likely haven't noticed yet. The default country which is set in Configuration, is not selected when adding new site.

To fix that ... Edit include/add_site.php

Locate and removed this line ...

Code:

if(!isset($Country)){ $Country = $default_country;}

Locate

Code:

echo getFlagList("../images/flags", $Country);

and replace with this

Code:

echo getFlagList("../images/flags", $spec['DefaultCountry']);

With that fixed... getting the countries alphabetized ... Locate and replace the entire getFlagList function in /include/functions.php roughly lines # 76 to 102 ...

Code:

function getFlagList($dirName, $Country){ $d = dir($dirName); while($entry = $d->read()){ ... ... .. ... $d->close(); return $html; }

Replace with this ...

Code:

function getFlagList($dirName, $Country){ $d = dir($dirName); while($entry = $d->read()){ if($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && $entry != "CVS"){ $short_entry = eregi_replace(".gif", "", $entry); $short_entry = eregi_replace("_", " ", $short_entry); $arrCountry[$short_entry] = $entry; } } asort($arrCountry); foreach ($arrCountry As $short_entry => $entry) { $html .= "<option value=\"" . $entry . "\""; if($Country == $entry){ $html .= " selected=\"selected\""; } $html .= ">" . $short_entry . "</option>\n"; } $d->close(); return $html; } }

And that should both issues

Code:

function getFlagList($dirName, $Country){ $d = dir($dirName); while($entry = $d->read()){ if($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && $entry != "CVS"){ $short_entry = eregi_replace(".gif", "", $entry); $short_entry = eregi_replace("_", " ", $short_entry);$arrCountry[$short_entry] = $entry; } asort($arrCountry); foreach ($arrCountry as $short_entry => $entry) { $html .= "<option value=\"" . $entry . "\""; if($Country == $entry){ $html .= " selected=\"selected\""; } $html .= ">" . $short_entry . "</option>\n"; } } $d->close(); return $html; }

This is what I have in my functions.php Showing duplicate entries in the list...???

Right.. erase or comment out that function and replace it with the one in my previous post...

As of today 1/24/09 the country list is alphabetical but my default country is not selected, even though it's set in the administrator.

I modified functions.php around line 135 to set replace the function generated variable $html with this:

After this...
$d->close();

Insert this...
$html = '<option value="United_States.gif" selected="selected">United States</option>';
return $html;
