I must change one line. I forgot to add the %value part. I thought
Drupal would append it to the end, but now that I think of it, that
would be needlessly limiting:
Page title (required): You must put something here. (Suggested: People
who live in %value)
Anisa.

Hi, everyone. I have finally gotten a chance to put together a
production drupal site, and I've been trying to help out in little ways
I can.
I don't really think this deserves its own how to page, but I went
through the effort of making a nice list of countries and wanted to
share it. I didn't want to post the list of countries inside the book
page, so I am submitting an issue. I think this page is a little
redundant, with other things in the profile module section.
--------
HOWTO: Create a 'country' profile field
This page describes how to create a 'country' field in your users'
profiles, similar to the one on Drupal.org, that lets you easily find
users in any country. For Drupal 4.7.
* Enable the profile module.
* Create a new profile field.
* Go to the profile settings page (/administer > settings > profiles/
?q=admin/settings/profile)
* Select the 'list selection' type of form field.
* Category (required): It can be a category you already have or a new
one. (Suggested: Personal Information)
* Title (required): Anything is OK. (Suggested: Country)
* Form name (required): Anything is ok, as long as it is unique.
(Suggested: profile_country)
* Explanation (optional): Usually, country is self explanatory, but you
may want to write a note here to your users about this field.
* Selection options: Copy the list from the attached file here. This
file is from Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries May 2006)
* Weight: Select whatever you like (this is the weight in the category
selected above).
* Visibility: Select one of the 'Public Field' options.
* Page title (required): You must put something here. (Suggested:
People who live in)
* Check boxes: Check 'the user must enter a value' to make this field
required. Check 'visible in user registration form' to make it part of
user registration.
* Click on 'Save field.'
