Short Country format

[Tineke]

hi there,

In another (closed) discussion I saw Barry saying the following on getting a short country format:
“I don’t believe there are any specific filters for that template tag; you could use tribe_get_event_meta but that’s further upstream.
Do note however that tribe_get_country() returns its output rather than echoing it, so you could easily filter it yourself by creating a new template tag of your own which converts tribe_get_country()’s output to an abbreviated format (whether that’s ISO 3166 or some other scheme).”

I was wondering if someone could explain me how to do this?

If you take a look at this snippet you should get an idea of how you might do this – per the comments it isn’t the very neatest way of doing this, especially if you are likely to be processing a wide range of countries, but it should give you a starting point if nothing else.

If you haven’t done so already, take a look at our Themer’s Guide (link in the Useful Resources section on the right) for a primer on how to customize and override templates.

Cheers!

Thanks Barry. But I wasn’t looking to change it everywhere. Just in list.php where I have this:
$country = tribe_get_country(); if ( !empty( $country ) ) : echo $country; endif;

I just solved it with this (which is not a full list):

[Tineke]

$country = tribe_get_country();
if ($country==”Netherlands”) {
echo “NL” ;
} elseif ($country==”Denmark”) {
echo “DK”;
} elseif ($country==”Afghanistan”) {
echo “AF”;
} elseif ($country==”Denmark”) {
echo “DK”;
} elseif ($country==”Argentina”) {
echo “AR”;
} elseif ($country==”Australia”) {
echo “AU”;
} elseif ($country==”Austria”) {
echo “AT”;
} elseif ($country==”Belgium”) {
echo “BE”;
} elseif ($country==”Brazil”) {
echo “BR”;
} elseif ($country==”Bulgaria”) {
echo “BG”;
} elseif ($country==”Canada”) {
echo “CA”;
} elseif ($country==”Chile”) {
echo “CL”;
} elseif ($country==”China”) {
echo “CN”;
} elseif ($country==”Colombia”) {
echo “CO”;
} elseif ($country==”Czech Republic”) {
echo “CZ”;
} elseif ($country==”Denmark”) {
echo “DK”;
} elseif ($country==”France”) {
echo “F”;
} elseif ($country==”Germany”) {
echo “DE”;
} elseif ($country==”Greece”) {
echo “GR”;
} elseif ($country==”Italy”) {
echo “IT”;
} elseif ($country==”Japan”) {
echo “JP”;
} elseif ($country==”Luxembourg”) {
echo “LU”;
} elseif ($country==”Luxembourg”) {
echo “ZA”;
} elseif ($country==”Spain”) {
echo “ES”;
} elseif ($country==”South Africa”) {
echo “LU”;
} elseif ($country==”Suriname”) {
echo “SR”;
} elseif ($country==”Sweden”) {
echo “SE”;
} elseif ($country==”Switzerland”) {
echo “CH”;
} elseif ($country==”United Arab Emirates”) {
echo “UAE”;
} elseif ($country==”United States”) {
echo “US”;
} elseif ($country==”United States”) {
echo “US”;
} elseif ($country==”Venezuela”) {
echo “VE”;
} else {
echo tribe_get_country();
}

Excellent, glad you’re all sorted 🙂
