If anybody interested: I made a Country List taxonomy vocabulary for drupalsites.net. Which is reusable of course. It is exported via taxonomy_xml module. So you can easily import it to your project with the same module.

NOTE: somehow it hung and did not import the taxonomy if I tried to import vocabluary to an existig one. But I'd recommend to import it to "determined by source file". The process will create a new vocabulary called 'Countries'.

You can download it from " target="new">here

Enjoy!

By the way: why don't we establish taxonomy repository (as for PHP snippets)? It may be countries, car brands, spices, ... whatever.

I checked out http://www.drupalsites.net/ and see that your theme is like what many pro-bloggers use with MovableType, namely 2 block columns to the right.

Where could I find such themes? How hard is it to make these changes manually? I use PHPTemplate-based FriendsElectric.

The theme I used for drupalsites.net is custm one. It is not available publicly. The theme uses PHPTemplate theme engine. And it's now very hard to create your own by modifying some other theme.

But I haven't seen other Drupal themes available with the same layout yet.

Any chance you may consider contributing it to the community?

1- I need the logo DRUPAL sites 100px with a clear SITES word
http://consen.org/img/al/DRUPALsites.png

2- How I can do a similar Tag Cloud as you?

3- Where is it explained the diff between BLOG and TAG?

4- How I can do the three column theme?

5- i promise to try to install the taxonomy, and integrates the standard ISO 3 character code that we are using.

1. Done. You can get it here or at drupalsites.net promote page.

2. Yes sure. You may find the sample of code here. Just put it to any PHP page or block. Or include the code in your theme.

4. Check previous comment. Or hire a designer (me) :)

Dear Sir
Thanks for sharing the country list
i managed to import the list

but how can i import under an already formed category ??

soupp commented

There is an option to do this in taxonomy_xml module but... I tried and it failed couple of times. It was quite a long ago so maybe new releases of this module fixes this issue.

Thanks for making the country list available.

I made a modified version from it for a couple of sites that categorizes the countries by continent. If anyone is interested, I'll upload it. Might save someone a little bit of work.

How can I import the xml country list if I'm on Drupal 5? I think the 'Taxonomy import/export via XML' module is not upgraded to Drupal 5.
Thanks

Z2222 commented

I'm not sure how to do it in 5.0.

Taxonomy XML import/export module is not yer ready for 5.x. Just wait a bit till samik (or somebody) will update it.

I made an XML list of world languages as well as the script generating the file here. Hope it's useful for some people.

+1 to distribute country regions. Isn't there a whole world database drupal-imported already?
Greetings,

Probably there are... but not yet everybody ready to share. Or developers keep forget about taxonomy xml export capabilities.

You can extract taxonomies of every kind by using RDF data from the Open Directory Project. Countries are grouped by continent or regions, i.e., Regional: Europe: Regions, as are some countries. Countries go beyond the state/province level, i.e. Italy: Regions: Veneto: Provinces: Padua.

DMOZ doesn't use ISO codes, etc. but IS generally a good starting point for any taxonomy. I'd recommend importing the data into an interim db table(s) to pare it down to what you want.
