Installing ANGEK DESIGN's CB_Country and State Dropdown plugin

CB_Country and State Dropdown plugin is a Joomla 1.5 CB 1.2.x plugin which installs like all other Community Builder plugins via Community Builder's Plugin Management Interface.

Once installed, 2 new fields (Country Dropdown and State Dropdown) are made available via Community Builder's Field Management Interface.

Please Note: If you add a Country dropdown to your registration page you MUST add the state dropdown as well otherwise the javascript responsible for populating the State dropdown field based on the selected Country will fail.

Once the fields have been added you may proceed by indicating the default Country that should initially apear in the Country Dropdown field parameters and the default State that should appear in the State Dropdown field parameters.

The values you enter into these fields should be as follows:

• Country: the 2 letter country abbreviated code (eg. US for United States, AU for Australia)
• State: the 2 letter state abbreviated code for states in the US, the 3 letter abbreviated code for states in Australia and for all other country states the full state name.

If you have any trouble with this part take a look at the 2 files located in components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_countryandstatefield/js/

• states.js
• countries.js
  

States.js

the first column indicates the Country Code, the second column indicates the State code and the third column indicates the full State name.

Please Note: If a particular State cannot be found you may edit this file to include the missing State names but be sure to add all 3 columns and terminate each State with "|\"

Countries.js

the first column indicates the Country Code and the second column indicates the Country name.

Please Note: If a particular Country cannot be found you may edit this file to include the missing Countries but be sure to add both coulmns and terminate each Country with "|\"

You should now have a Country dropdown and a State dropdown field as part of your Community Registration process.
