Show countries list, cities list. How do I?

Posted by dinhhung on December 30, 2008 at 7:39am

Hi all
I'm totally a newbie to Drupal. In my opinion, Drupal is so amazing.
And now I got something to ask you, I want to show all the COUNTRIES as a list, then, click on each country it will show the page contains list of CITIES of that countries.
I know there is some module could do that, because this is the common task, but I don't know exactly where it is, how to configure it. So can you help me, big thanks for every help!

Integrate geonames

You know what would be really cool ? Integrate with http://www.geonames.org/ either via webservice or simply by allowing the import of their files (it's free as far as I can tell).

I'll post a request in the issue queue

use cck+taxonomy

Posted by likewhoa on December 30, 2008 at 9:10am

use cck+taxonomy, you would first create your taxonomy and fill that with your country list then just create a "cities" content type which will contain the cck taxonomy of your countries list. I personally just setup a "locations" taxonomy broken down by continents -> countries -> cities. Also take a look at location module together with gmap to map locations to google maps.

Yours is really a great idea. I tried it and seem to be everything solved. Thank you very much.
Just one more question, I want to associate the city with OG group. Can I?
Thanks all for helping me, so sweet!

use og_vocabulary

Posted by likewhoa on December 31, 2008 at 6:02am

use og_vocabulary or just assign a cck taxonomy field to the group content type node. og_vocabulary will allow each group to have a vocabulary assign to them.

I don't get it

Hello.

I am new to Drupal. I keep reading your post trying to understand what you suggest but got no luck until now.
I have created countires -> cities list in taxonomy. What I cannot do is find out how to use this taxonomy vocabulary on a content type. There is no field type for taxonomy and 'Content Taxonomy' module is no more developed so I don't think it's a good idea to use it.

I use CCK and Content Profile to have Profiles created as nodes.

Thanks,
Ilias

Thanks all for your help.

Thanks all for your help. I've already found the solution, with all your help. It's so simple, just only using Taxonomy with hierarchical terms.
Thank you all. Thank you, Drupal

Use Countries from Gmap for taxonomy and avoid additional lists

Posted by suffering drupal on August 17, 2009 at 4:41pm

Hello all,

I have the same issue as dinhhung. Understand about creating new Taxonomy lists and the hierarchical use. Starting from 0 it's all rather easy.
What I DON'T understand is why it should be necessary to import a country list from elsewhere if all the countries already exist under Gmap? Couldn't the countries just be automatically taken from Gmap?
Seems so logical to me. This way one could also skip several fields to fill out and everything is syncronized.
The list http://drupal.org/node/263909 ncameron refers to does't even start the same as the list from Gmap...

Any explanations, suggestions?
Or at least the answer to the 1 big question, IS IT or IS IT NOT possible to use countries directly from Gmap list for taxonomy???

Thanks!

Optimize drupal: use Gmap countries for taxonomy

Posted by suffering drupal on February 9, 2010 at 10:55pm

By accident I have found my own comment in a search.
I am surprised that after several months there is no answer at all to my question. Doesn't anyone bother?

Does this mean there is no-one else who wants to use Gmap plus Countries as taxonomy term BUT use only one (1) dbase variable and at the same time avoiding that users have to fill out twice the same information and avoid duplicate information in the database???
Is everybody maybe only making local websites?

Still looking

I stumbled upon this post while searching for a solution to having a taxonomy generated directly from addresses or preferably location module but can't find anything after many hours or searching. Writing modules is way out of my expertise level but I would if I could. I too find it hard to believe that there is not more interest in this.
