Hi

We have a directory, based on a profile, which allows members of the public to search for yoga teachers.
We would like the directory to only allow searching by 2 countries (United Kingdom - ID 1226, Ireland - 1105) but we also need to still have all countries available in CiviCRM.
See http://drunetwork.com/civicrm/profile?reset=1&gid=13

The country select field array values are generated by this line in proximitycommon.php
$country = array('' => ts('- select -')) + CRM_Core_PseudoConstant::country();
How could we alter this array so that only those 2 options are available (with the correct value/label)?

With thanks
Oliver

You will need to do that either by creating an .extra template that removes the select options from the forms where you do not want them, or create a buildForm hook for your profile. Are you familiar with the concepts of customizing CiviCRM? If not, check this link book.civicrm.org/developer

if you are on drupal you should be able to do this by limiting the filter on a View to only the two countries you want

Hi

Thanks Erik, that's probably the best way to go.

Sorry Pete, I probably wasn't clear enough in my post. They are using a CiviCRM directory based on a profile as you can't get proximity searches to work via Drupal Views. For now I've hidden the Country field but it still defaults to the UK allowing proximity searching.

Cheers
