Hi,

The counties of Northern Ireland seem to be missing from the United Kingdom country file. For my purposes it actually suits me to have Northern Ireland listed as a separate country, so I have created a Northern Ireland country file. I've attached it in case it's any use to anyone.

For most stores it's probably not a good idea to use this. It would generally be better to add the counties into the UK zones.

I had to invent country codes for Northern Ireland (demonstrating why this approach is not recommended).

However, my store currently only ships to Ireland and Northern Ireland, so this works for the time being.

works for me

though I agree the idea of using the proper standard assigned country numbers make sense.

should the UK file be edited with the 6 counties added and bumped up to version 2, if you agree I will do
it and submit it back to the ubercarters

what is your site that is using ubercart?

...would be nice to have NI

...would be nice to have NI in the standard UK county list

for the meantime however... the little NI separate country file and done the trick for me. Good timing as I just had a customer asking about it this morning. cheers!

This link here has a Northern Ireland section and it seems to support what you have done, (other then picking a country code at random Eye-wink)

Version 2

Hi, I am updating this with version 2 which accommodates changes in drupal 6.x+.

You should know that if you are using version 2 of the great britain file (which is buncled with the 6.x version), you will need to remove the NI counties from that install (and uninstall if already done) or this file will fail.

Also note that have kept the original posters country code which appears to have no conflicts with the others.
