How To Add Countries Back To Countries Table....

[Guest]

Hey all,

When I first set up my OSC site I deleted most of the countries out of the countries table because we weren't selling much outside of the US. Well, now I'd like to be able to put them back.

 

Anybody have an idea how to do this without manually having to insert each of the countries into the table?

 

I thought about doing an SQL INSERT of the new countries but I don't have the list to be able to do that. lol.

 

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated :)

Use phpMyAdmin. First drop your current countries table. second, copy the part of sql from a stock osc installation's sql file, that creates the countries table and inserts the countries into the table, which can be found in the same place, ie, the insert bit follows the create table bit. Then paste sql script to the sql window in phpMyAdmin. Click Go to run the sql scripts. That's it.

The original list is in the install file. If you do a drop table and then recreate it from the install it should work fine. ALWAYS BACKUP FIRST!

 

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS countries;
CREATE TABLE countries (
 countries_id int NOT NULL auto_increment,
 countries_name varchar(64) NOT NULL,
 countries_iso_code_2 char(2) NOT NULL,
 countries_iso_code_3 char(3) NOT NULL,
 address_format_id int NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (countries_id),
 KEY IDX_COUNTRIES_NAME (countries_name)
);

Awesome, that's just what I needed. I didn't even think to look in the original installation for the countries list....

 

Thanks a ton.

[rrrhythm]

this is just my opinion, but i'm of the mind to only have what i need, and not a lot of extra stuff.

 

if i were in your position, i'd be seriously evaluating what countries i really needed, and only add those, and not bother with the one's i'll never sell to.

 

just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your advice. That's basically what I will be doing. I installed a mod called Active Countries that will give me control over which countries will show up for the users to select. But, since I already deleted all the original countries, I didn't want to have to add each one back individually.
