Created patch to add South Sudan to location.inc

This patch is working for me too. I'm here including location.ss.inc file for South Sudan.

The attachments: for Sudan and South Sudan

I have installed this fix in my D7 3.x version, and I believe these files should be committed ASAP on all versions, but for D7 3.x it does not change the country list in Drupal core. You will need something like the Countries module for that.

South Sudan is recognized worldwide as a country. This needs to be fixed!

postponed before tests fix

tests fixed #1931088: [META] Fixing tests
lets go

Here is a patch rolled from the files offered in #3, which should test better than the first exploratory patch. But if not, then we will have a known test result to work with for fixing.

My fault, diff was not against the correct branch. Here it is again.

Please port this to D7

bumping version

#12: south_sudan-1271066-12.patch queued for re-testing.

commited and pushed to both 6.x-3.x and 7.x-3.x dev versions
Thanks!

Has anyone tested this on D7? I looked through the code and I think it requires adding South Sudan to the Drupal core countries list. I could work on a patch I think but wanted to check whether peopel had this working as it is (7.x.-3.1)

Yes, we performed all due diligence before actually launching with this fix in the U.S. State Department websites, which is why we insisted on it. See https://blogs.state.gov/region/africa . It has proven useful for all our data entry and mapping functions. Below is the stamp from the installed module:

; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2013-10-30
version = "7.x-3.1"
core = "7.x"
project = "location"
datestamp = "1383154846"

We are running the Countries and Countries Configuration modules as well, which may compensate for what you are seeing. If you can run through a patch to Drupal core, that would be ideal. At the time there just didn't seem much of a change of getting it through.

It doesn't need a patch to Drupal core. This module code does the trick:

/**
 * Implement hook_countries_alter().
 */

function location_country_feature_countries_alter(&$countries) {
  if (!isset($countries['SS'])) {
    $t = get_t();
    $countries['SS'] = $t('South Sudan');
    asort($countries);
  }
}

The issue here is fixed. Please open a new issue for any discussion about Drupal core or hook_countries_alter.
