country options on create account page

[phreerider]

I'm wondering how can I change the width size of country list option box in create_details.php??

[phreerider]

The reason why I'm looking for help on this.. check out the page @ http://ucautosport.com/create_account.php As you can see the Country options is too wide that it push out the right part of the layout.

Find your wide countries and shorten their names.

 

South something another is huge so the width is huge.

Yeah, I know that I should shorten the country names but I've tried a search on entire folder in catalog dir and couldn't find the list of country. Could you direct me to where about it is? Thanks :)

The countries names are in the countries table

 

There are about 3-4 at least that are extreamly long. Scroll the countries dropdown to see which to edit.

The thing is that it gets list of countries from somewhere else??

 

in the countries table looks like this:

 

          <tr>

           <td class="main"> <?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></td>

           <td class="main"> 

<?php

 if ($is_read_only == true) {

   echo tep_get_country_name($account['entry_country_id']);

 } elseif ($error == true) {

   if ($entry_country_error == true) {

     echo tep_get_country_list('country') . ' ' . ENTRY_COUNTRY_ERROR;

   } else {

     echo tep_get_country_name($country) . tep_draw_hidden_field('country');

   }

 } else {

   echo tep_get_country_list('country', $account['entry_country_id']) . ' ' . ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT;

 }

?></td>

         </tr>

Peek in /includes/functions/general.php and find

 

function tep_get_countries_name

 

function tep_get_countries

 

function tep_get_countries_name calls function tep_get_countries which does a lookup in the countries table to get the names.

 

So ... edit the countries table to shorten the countries_name do not mess up the other fields as they are codes.
