Hi,

I'm looking for the location module, but can't find the download location.

Also, does the location module support a country field, next to state and zip code?

If not is there a "hack"or is it easy to add a country field.

Hi Hans,

The locations module can be found here: http://www.extrosoft.com/option,com_forum/Itemid,47/page,viewtopic/t,537/

It does not have a country field, but I don't see why this could not be easily added.

ths, got it.

Is there a "hack" for the locations module, that does include a country field, and does have a longer field max for the zip field?

Trying to get this module working for a International oriented web site. Need the country field, and more flexibility on the zip field.

Hi,

You can edit modules/locations/location_fields.php

You can add a country field to the thyme_Locations table and add a field for it in that file. The file uses Thyme's $_cal_form and $_cal_tmpl objects. Adding fields using these is described here:

http://www.extrosoft.com/Documentation/Customization/Adding_a_custom_field_%28by_example%29/

So to add a text box for the country, you can do something like:

*) Add a field named "country" to the thyme_Locations table.

*) Edit that file and add this line:
