Why can't I get ridof Countries?

I have tried everything, removing the list (other than United States) from the db, tried removing them from the pre-defined country list, everything else I can think of, yet they are still there...

 

I have no use for any country on my ste other than the US.  Can someone please tell me the secret to getting rid of the countries in all the country drop down lists?

the normal way is over the predefined values

click the red - for all countries you don´t want and then at the bottom save

i don´t understand that it not works for you

Have you tried going to your ADMIN Panel and ...

  • Click on Settings
  • Click on Predefined List
  • Click on the Red Minus to Remove Undesired Countries

newbreed - I too would like to know how to have the USA States Listing and not just the country.

 To do that you need to create a new list, and add the states and keys.

newbreed, thanks!


Does anyone know how would I get the States as a field in the Events & Ad Post Forms?

hi,

with my mod "State Events D7" you have for the profiles,on join and for the events the states.

i also can make the changes if you don´t need the country field on events.

if you got the state events mod there is also a update mod for states in groups

 This doesnt work for me. 

I can remove the countries, click save at the bottom, the screen refreshes and they are back again!!!

 

Slightly annoying.

Bump after a long time!

This issue still exists. 

I can goto admin, predefined fields, select 'countries'

then delete as many as I want, click save at bottom of screen.

Refreshes, and hey presto, they are back.

 

Issue has been around for a long time...

sys_pre_values table will not allow editing in phpmyadmin

says - This table does not contain a unique column. Grid edit, checkbox, Edit, Copy and Delete features are not available.

I wonder if this is the reason cant edit pre values in dolphin admin.

Any ideas appreciated :-)

Do you have 3rd party modules installed ?

yes, lots of them.

however, it was to do with cpanel and phpmyadmin version. 

Fixed now, had to make some adjustments in sql table.
