Hi

I have googled this because it is strange. I found out that it has been deprecated from rails 2.2 which is really strange. Anyway, to get it running you have 2 ways

1. if you do not need the country of the user what you need to do is to comment out the whole line by adding # like this

<%#= country_select 'user', 'country', "choose country" %>

2. in case you want the country option, you need to do some little ruby installation to meet the new rails

go to webvz directory and copy the following command in the shell

# ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/ihower/country_and_region_select.git

and restart the sever

I wish this will work

sorry for the changes that were caused by the main developers of rails

Hi,

It seems that the program don't like an empty country, so I added:

<input type="hidden" name="user[country]" value="(none)">

Any value should be fine.

Also _editForm.html.erb in the same directory need the same
modification.


Wish you a Merry Christmas!
