Drupal 7 version (and duplicate project issue) [#1055236]

After almost a year of being held up, I've finally been able to release the countries module, http://drupal.org/project/countries. This provides a country bundle with attached country fields.

I have a Drupal 6 version, but I do not think that I should release it due to the conflict with this module. Let me know what your thoughts are for migrating forwards in regards to Drupal 7.

Cheers
Alan

I have plans to port this module to D7. But this module depends on Country codes API and that module does not have any D7 version yet. So it is postponed to later on when there is a D7 version for Country codes API.

Title:

Drupal 7 version

» Drupal 7 version (and duplicate project issue)

this module depends on Country codes API

With the inclusion of a countries list in core, there would be no need for this dependency with your module. It is simply an include + function call to get a full iso2 => name country list.

  include_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/locale.inc';
  $element['#options'] = country_get_list();

but you can extend it to support the countries api additional data :)

I have plans to port this module to D7.

Mmmm. Guessing that I may not have been clear. The Countries module is independent of the Countries API and provides the same functionality as your new project, but has a lot of additional functionality.

A Drupal 7 port of this module would generate a duplicate project conflict, as would a release of a functional countries module for Drupal 6 that I developed over a year ago.

The Countries module was developed October 12, 2009 but delayed while waiting on community support to continue (see #394006: Reopen and reassign Countries project for the long painfully slow history).

So what are your thoughts on moving forwards?

- For the support for countries in D7 I didn't know about.

- I will hold the port for D7 right now, because your module have this module functionality.

- About duplicate projects for D6, I will still continue this module.

OK. I will not release the Drupal 6 version of countries.

If you think that there is anything missing from the countries module for Drupal 7, I'm happy to either add you as a co-maintainer or to review patches.
