Default country at new events

In the insertform for new events there can the default country modified with this litte hack:

In modules/boonex/events/classes/BxEventsFormAdd.php search for:

'Country' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'name' => 'Country',
'caption' => _t('_bx_events_caption_country'),
'values' => $aCountries,
'required' => true,
'checker' => array (
'func' => 'preg',
'params' => array('/^[a-zA-Z]{2}$/'),
'error' => _t ('_bx_events_err_country'),
),

and replace with:

'Country' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'name' => 'Country',
'caption' => _t('_bx_events_caption_country'),
'values' => $aCountries,
'value' => 'DE',
'required' => true,
'checker' => array (
'func' => 'preg',
'params' => array('/^[a-zA-Z]{2}$/'),
'error' => _t ('_bx_events_err_country'),
),

where 'value' => 'DE', changed to your country!

Nice tip. Thanks for the share.

What file would you edit for the Ads section to add a default country (boonex/ads/ ..)?

Thanks in advance!

We don´t use Ads but look here:

modules/boonex/ads/classes/BxAdsModule.php

Search for:

'Country' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'name' => 'Country',
'caption' => _t('_bx_ads_caption_country'),
'values' => $aCountries,
'value' => $sCountry,
'required' => true,
'checker' => array (
'func' => 'preg',
'params' => array('/^[a-zA-Z]{2}$/'),
'error' => _t ('_bx_ads_err_country'),
),

and replace  'value' => $sCountry, with: the value you need!

Example for german:

'Country' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'name' => 'Country',
'caption' => _t('_bx_ads_caption_country'),
'values' => $aCountries,
'value' => 'DE',
'required' => true,
'checker' => array (
'func' => 'preg',
'params' => array('/^[a-zA-Z]{2}$/'),
'error' => _t ('_bx_ads_err_country'),
),                                       

I don´t know if it works...... Please give Feedback!

I can't believe I've been here this long an never seen this post! Life saver! Thanks!!

I also added

'City' => array(

                    'type' => 'text',

                    'name' => 'City',

                    'value' => 'Jacksonville',

'caption' => _t('_bx_events_caption_city'),

                    'required' => true,

                    'checker' => array (

                        'func' => 'length',

                        'params' => array(3,50),

                        'error' => _t ('_bx_events_err_city'), 

added what is in red, saves the member two steps!  I am adding this to every class file that needs it.  Thanks again!

I have City and Place , when i insert my city in uk it shows in USA ( the name of my city exist also in usa ) so wondering what should i change to make events pick only uk cities and not usa.

Hi.

I think that solve your problem...

Rappi

I did Rappi , it just won't work, cleared the cache and everything but still getting a city in usa

This shit driving me nut for two days !

What module do you use?

default module but now purchased Modz module does the trick ! Thanks

Modzzz is a very good developer!!!

I have many mods from Modzzz.

Good luck.

Challenge: This would be super cool if it defaulted to the city and country of the user who is creating the event.

Modz event does the Job ! It works like charm :)

That is one of the things the GEO Locator does by default. It also fills in country and city information for registration and search forms.
