today: Contact Form 7 country list - methods to populate all countries drop-down & respective states-cities in my contact form
I want to populate all countries drop-down & respective states-cities in my contact form, I'm using Contact Form 7.
i have done some research and found several options to achieve this:
- one option is to populate all county values in shortcode.
- another option is to add country to be selected from drop-down,
only then respective states will be visible & the same logic will go for cities as depending on the states.
plugins and ideas:
- Country drop-down menu for Contact Form 7.
https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-countries/
with this plugin we will get „countries drop down“ Form tag in CF7. The countries list is the same countries list used by WooCommerce.
- listo: http://contactform7.com/listo/
we used Listo (a wordpress plugin) and added the writing [select countries data:countries] list of contries.
note: I want Get Current country(Find by IP) in cf 7 dropdown.
so the steps to take:
Below I find the country by IP:
- Code: Select all
Country[select* countrylist id:Country "Please Select a Country" "United States|USA" "Afghanistan|AFG" "Albania|ALB" "Algeria|DZA" "American Samoa|ASM" ........ ]
since Contact Form 7 doesn't have a ready country list by default. we can go ahead and do the population of the values on our own:
we can populate all values by ourself: here some methods, options and dataset: cf. https://gist.github.com/MatthewEppelsheimer/1498955
- Code: Select all

last but not least herre another plugin:
- Lead info with country for Contact Form 7
https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-f ... h-country/
Lead info with country for Contact Form 7 is an addon module for the Contact Form 7 plugin. It helps you track the user who fills out a form.
All you need to do is add the [tracking-info] shortcode in the Message body of the contact form 7.
The lead tracking info includes: Form Page URL, Original Referrer, Landing Page, User IP, Country of the User IP and Browser. In order to display the Country it needs the GeoIP Detection plugin that can be found in the WordPress plugin repository. This plugin “provides geographic information detected by an IP adress”. This plugin auto-updates the GeoIP database once a week. This product includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from http://www.maxmind.com. If the GeoIP Detection plugin is not installed and enabled, you will only see the IP address, without the country of the IP adress. We decided to use the GEOIP DETECTION plugin to handle the lookup of the country, because it’s a plugin that is actively developed and we saw no advantage in implementing all this functionality, when we could use an existing one.
The lead tracking info in this plugin includes:
Form Page URL
The URL on which the user filled out the form.
Original ReferrerThe URL from which the user came to your site.
Landing Page
The first page the user visited on your site.
User IP (is not included when using the shorcode [tracking-info-noip])
The IP address of the user who filled out the form.
Country of the IPThe country of the IP address of the user who filled out the form. If the country is 0, please check the FAQ information.
User Agent / Browser
The browser information of the user who filled the form.
