James,

It's not your installation.  I have also been looking for a way to do this.  The closes I have found is to move "US" to the top of the list.  See below if interested...

Thanks Chuck for replying I didn't think anyone was going to. I really don't understand why goblank's solution will not work, after all what exactly is the purpose of the default value in profile properties? It would be nice is someone in the Core Team could explain to us why this does not work or at least explain the function of default value.

Thanks
James

For whatever reason, the GeoIP pull doesn't work for any site I have ever deployed.  It just doesn't look up the IP address.  I think dropping that function makes a lot of sense.

In the meantime, I have done the following to hack a solution.  If the GEOIP doesn't resolve to a country, this fix uses the default setting of the portal under User Accounts->Manage Profile Properties. To make the change requires a Core recompile. Editing file Components->Users->UserModuleBase.vb I have made the following chagnes starting at line 512:

Old Code:
'Set default countr
Dim country As String = Null.NullString
country = LookupCountry()
If country <> "" Then
newUser.Profile.Country = country
End If

New Code:

'Set default countr
Dim country As String = Null.NullString
country = LookupCountry()
If country <> "" And country <> "N/A" Then
newUser.Profile.Country = country
Else
newUser.Profile.Country = DotNetNuke.Entities.ProfileProfileController.GetPropertyDefinitionByName(PortalId, "Country").DefaultValue
End If 

One problem I am still having is that the "Region" label isn't updateing to show "State" when using the United States as the default.  Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Here is a work around using Javascript, it only changes the Country to United States if no country has been selected.

1. Create a Custom Container called RegistrationOnly.ascx
2. Setup a default  "Users Page" in the Admin Settings so that we get the same page everytime a user clicks Register.
3. On that page use your Custom Container.
4. Add the following Javascript to the bottom of the RegistrationOnly.ascx in a script tag.

var myDropDownCountryBoxName = 'UniqueNameOfYourCountryDropDownBox'
var ddlCountry = document.getElementsByName(myDropDownCountryBoxName);
if (ddlCountry){if (ddlCountry[0]){if (ddlCountry[0].selectedIndex==0){ddlCountry[0].selectedIndex=1;}}}

Note: I moved United States to index 1 in my Database, but you can also use selectedValue='United States' 
Make sure you set the myDropDownCountryBoxName variable.

Brad

I know I'm years later - but my client just requested this - since we don't use popups in the site this needed to be modified into - I was able to add the following to the skin file. If it's not found - no harm no foul - assumes jQuery is loaded on the page
