I'm trying to set the default country to United States so that 99% of my site's users won't have to key in the value.   I've tried setting the default country to US, United States, and 221.  Nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  Is this a bug?

AFAIK default country is derived from user's IP address (unfortunaltely using an outdated geoip.dat, get your updated copy for free from www.maxmind.com) , but there had been DotNetNuke versions, where this lookup has been disabled.

That all sounds really neat to get the user's country from their IP address, but what is the purpose of the "Default Value" in the "Edit Property Detail" under the "Manage Profile Properties"? Seems that I could enter a value in the "Default Value" and that would be used in the field.

without a look into the source code, I assume, that it simply gets overridden. please log this as enhancement request into the public issue tracker at support.dotnetnuke.com

Hi there,

 

Did you find out how to do this? I'd like to do the same.

 

Cheers,
