Input cities into drop down options

Hi Laura.

So when filling out the fields and one say selects a country I can see in the drop down menu that the list is extensive with may countries to select.
When choosing city it seems to be default textarea to type a city in. If I want to have it be a drop down menu like the Country one, fields are empty and I had read somewhere that there is a site to generate a city list and I input that code somewhere in the Dashboard?

So example if I put in Canada
next selection is a city so a drop down menu will look like this:

Ontario
-Toronto
-Montreal
-etc
Province
-city
-city
-etc

State
-city
-city
-etc

hope that makes sense.

Hello. I know that’s there but nothing comes up.

City autocompleteEnable or disable City autocomplete based on Country field
Your City profile Field Type must be set as Text Box
This uses http://geonames.org API

I have click to on.

Geonames usernameThis field is required for the service to work. Get one from geonames.org and enable the free service from your account

That I left empty and I’m wondering if that is what I need to input? When I go there I’m pretty clueless as what to do.

Then after there are these:

City fieldSelect which is your City field that will autocomplete.
Which I select City in the drop down.

Country fieldSelect you Country field. Based on this, the City field will populate.
If you do not have one, set the Country Code bellow.
Again I select Country but there is no issue here with selecting Countries as it already has a list to choose from.

Then the last one I leave blank:
Country CodeIf you don’t have a Country field then set here the ISO-3166 alpha2 code of you Country for which you want to enable the autocomplete.
http://www.geonames.org/countries/

So first step is to register with geonames?

Hi Laura, so I’m still not sure what to do. I created an account at Geonames. From there I saw zipfiles I can download such as allcities.zip etc.
I did not see anything as far as activating an account? Other then creating the account.

As far as part on the Dash:

Geonames username
This field is required for the service to work. Get one from geonames.org and enable the free service from your account _________________

what would I put there?

Thanks

Hello I have done that and all is still the same. I have a drop down country field which populates and if I understand correctly the selection for city incorporates a text field? This is a rather big oversight, as no sites really does this anymore, there is always a drop down selection for countries, cities etc.
Will this ever be updated?
