Using static_info_tables for country selection

Basics

• Install Extension static_info_tables

• Install Extension static_info_tables(_de)(_fr)(_pl) etc... for localized country names

• Import Records of the extensions via Extension Manager (see manual of static_info_tables)

• Clear Cache

• Copy all Partials from femanager to a fileadmin folder

• Set the new Partial Path via Constants: plugin.tx_femanager.view.partialRootPath = fileadmin/femanager/Partials/

• Open Partial Fields/Country.html and activate static_info_tables (see notes in HTML-File)

Details for Partial Country.html

The idea is very simple. You can change the “options Attribute” of the form.select ViewHelper:

<femanager:form.select
        id="femanager_field_country"
        property="country"
        options="{femanager:Form.GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables()}"
        defaultOption="{f:translate(key:'pleaseChoose')}"
        class="input-block-level"
        additionalAttributes="{femanager:Validation.FormValidationData(settings:'{settings}',fieldName:'country')}" />

The GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables-ViewHelper

Possible options for this ViewHelper are:

Name	Description	Default Value	Example Value
key	Define the Record Column of static_countries table which should be used for storing to fe_users country Note: Please use lowerCamelCase Writing for Fieldnames	isoCodeA3	isoCodeA2
value	Define the Record Column of static_countries table which should be visible in selection in femanager Note: Please use lowerCamelCase Writing for Fieldnames	officialNameLocal	shortNameFr
sortbyField	Define the Record Column of static_countries which should be used for a sorting Note: Please use lowerCamelCase Writing for Fieldnames	isoCodeA3	shortNameDe
sorting	Could be 'asc' or 'desc' for Ascending or Descending Sorting	asc	desc

Some Examples are:

{femanager:Form.GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables(key:'isoCodeA2',value:'shortNameDe')}
{femanager:Form.GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables(key:'isoCodeA2',value:'shortNameFr',sortbyField:'shortNameFr')}
{femanager:Form.GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables(key:'isoCodeA3',value:'isoCodeA3',sortbyField:'isoCodeA3',sorting:'asc')}
