Hi,
I am wondering if there is any way to edit the country names that are shown as options in the profile. There are options that people might like to be able to select that do not appear on the list. For example:-
Scotland, Wales, Euskadi, Taiwan (without "province of China"), Aetoroa, etc.
I do feel students should be able to select options that they feel comfortable with - for example students in Scotland would probably not want to choose United Kingdom. I am wondering which file in my Moodle installation I could edit to add other options. Or are these options being provided by an external library on my server? In which case, is there any way I could call an additional list of options to be merged with it when the user edits their profile?
Thanks,
Pete
Pete,
You might like to follow an earlier discussion on this subject at:
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=88955
Which in turn gives a link to a tracker issue and a version of the file...
/lang/en-utf8/countries.php
...in which are all the declarations on the ISO list (I think this is the same version as in 1.9.1+).
If you choose to edit the list then you know "you can't please all the people".
There is certainly a good deal of politics embedded in the list, but then there is a good deal of politics in choosing to edit it as well.
Regards,
John
