<p>This is not the answer you were looking for, but if you decide to just go with a normal drop-down, then you can paste the following into the dropdown field in the database. This would go in the <code>craft_fields</code> table, <code>yourCountryField</code> row, <code>settings</code> column. After editing the list the way you need it I would suggest removing all line-breaks using grep find/replace ('\n', ''), but it may not matter either.</p>

<p>Unfortunately the drop down options in <a href="http://straightupcraft.com/craft-plugins/territories-fieldtype" rel="nofollow">Territories Dropdown Plugin</a> are not automatically available in templates.
It need to be accessed through a field on an element. You're currently trying to access it through 'entry' which i assume doesn't exist in your template (as you would have copied this part).</p>

<p>eg. I'm using it on projects in my template:</p>

<pre><code>{% for option in project.country.options %}
&lt;option {% if option.selected %}selected="selected"{% endif %} value="{{ option }}"&gt;{{ option.label }}&lt;/option&gt;
{% endfor %}
</code></pre>

<p>For me 'project' is an <a href="http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/fields" rel="nofollow">entry in my section</a> 'projects' which has been declared above and i have <a href="http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/fields" rel="nofollow">given it the field</a> 'country' of type 'Territories - Dropdown' in the admin panel.</p>

<hr>

<p>If you want to access the options with out an instance of an entry you'll still need to <a href="http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/fields" rel="nofollow">create a field</a> with the type 'Territories - Dropdown'. Then replace 'country' in the code below with the handle you give your field.</p>

<pre><code>{% for option in craft.fields.getFieldByHandle('country').getFieldType.options %}
&lt;option value="{{ option }}"&gt;{{ option.label }}&lt;/option&gt;
{% endfor %}
</code></pre>

Many thanks Jered for the example. I found that outputting {{ option }} caused an array to string conversion error and I needed to use {{ option.value }} instead of just {{ option }} to get this working.

<p>So I'm using <a href="https://github.com/johndwells/craft.territories/" rel="nofollow">this territories plugin</a> to display a list of countries in a dropdown. The issue I'm having is showing these countries within my front-end entry form.</p>

<p>Here's my whole form. The other dropdowns work fine.</p>

Do you have an {{ entry }} variable available in the template scope? When you say it doesn't work, is it throwing an error or simply not rendering?

# Display list of countries in form using a dropdown

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-11-03)

So I'm using this territories plugin to display a list of countries in a dropdown. The issue I'm having is showing these countries within my front-end entry form.
I've used this example but it doesn't work:
{% for option in entry.territoryFieldHandle.options %}
    {{ option }}
{% endfor %}

Here's my whole form. The other dropdowns work fine.
             {% set jobTypeDropdown = craft.fields.getFieldbyHandle('jobType') %}
        Job Type
        
            {% for option in jobTypeDropdown.settings.options %}
                {{ option.label }}
            {% endfor %}
        

        {% set jobCategoryDropdown = craft.fields.getFieldbyHandle('jobCategory') %}
        Job Category
        
            {% for option in jobCategoryDropdown.settings.options %}
                {{ option.label }}

This is not the answer you were looking for, but if you decide to just go with a normal drop-down, then you can paste the following into the dropdown field in the database. This would go in the craft_fields table, yourCountryField row, settings column. After editing the list the way you need it I would suggest removing all line-breaks using grep find/replace ('\n', ''), but it may not matter either.

This doesn't really address the problem either, but for anyone looking for "States" data (to replicate what Douglas McDonald did), here it is:
{"options":[{"label":"Alabama","value":"AL","default":""},{"label":"Alaska","value":"AK","default":""},{"label":"Arizona","value":"AZ","default":""},{"label":"Arkansas","value":"AR","default":""},{"label":"California","value":"CA","default":""},{"label":"Colorado","value":"CO","default":""},{"label":"Connecticut","value":"CT","default":""},{"label":"Delaware","value":"DE","default":""},{"label":"District of Columbia","value":"DC","default":""},{"label":"Florida","value":"FL","default":""},{"label":"Georgia","value":"GA","default":""},{"label":"Hawaii","value":"HI","default":""},{"label":"Idaho","value":"ID","default":""},{"label":"Illinois","value":"IL","default":""},{"label":"Indiana","value":"IN","default":""},{"label":"Iowa","value":"IA","default":""},{"label":"Kansas","value":"KS","default":""},{"label":"Kentucky","value":"KY","default":""},{"label":"Louisiana","value":"LA","default":""},{"label":"Maine","value":"ME","default":""},{"label":"Maryland","value":"MD","default":""},{"label":"Massachusetts","value":"MA","default":""},{"label":"Michigan","value":"MI","default":""},{"label":"Minnesota","value":"MN","default":""},{"label":"Mississippi","value":"MS","default":""},{"label":"Missouri","value":"MO","default":""},{"label":"Montana","value":"MT","default":""},{"label":"Nebraska","value":"NE","default":""},{"label":"Nevada","value":"NV","default":""},{"label":"New Hampshire","value":"NH","default":""},{"label":"New Jersey","value":"NJ","default":""},{"label":"New Mexico","value":"NM","default":""},{"label":"New York","value":"NY","default":""},{"label":"North Carolina","value":"NC","default":""},{"label":"North Dakota","value":"ND","default":""},{"label":"Ohio","value":"OH","default":""},{"label":"Oklahoma","value":"OK","default":""},{"label":"Oregon","value":"OR","default":""},{"label":"Pennsylvania","value":"PA","default":""},{"label":"Rhode Island","value":"RI","default":""},{"label":"South Carolina","value":"SC","default":""},{"label":"South Dakota","value":"SD","default":""},{"label":"Tennessee","value":"TN","default":""},{"label":"Texas","value":"TX","default":""},{"label":"Utah","value":"UT","default":""},{"label":"Vermont","value":"VT","default":""},{"label":"Virginia","value":"VA","default":""},{"label":"Washington","value":"WA","default":""},{"label":"West Virginia","value":"WV","default":""},{"label":"Wisconsin","value":"WI","default":""},{"label":"Wyoming","value":"WY","default":""}]}


Create a dropdown field.
Navigate to the craft_fields table
Locate the row with your states handle
Add the data to the settings column
Output states in a dropdown
{% for state in craft.fields.getFieldByHandle('states').getFieldType.options %}
    {{ state.label }}
{% endfor %}


Even better, create a reusable macro:

{% macro stateDropdownOptions(currentState) %}
    Select One
    {% for state in craft.fields.getFieldByHandle('states').getFieldType.options %}
        
            {{ state.label }}
        
    {% endfor %}
{% endmacro %}

and use it:

{% import 'macros/form' as formMacros %}

...


    {{ formMacros.stateDropdownOptions(row.state) }}

Unfortunately the drop down options in Territories Dropdown Plugin are not automatically available in templates.
It need to be accessed through a field on an element. You're currently trying to access it through 'entry' which i assume doesn't exist in your template (as you would have copied this part).
eg. I'm using it on projects in my template:
{% for option in project.country.options %}
{{ option.label }}
{% endfor %}

For me 'project' is an entry in my section 'projects' which has been declared above and i have given it the field 'country' of type 'Territories - Dropdown' in the admin panel.

If you want to access the options with out an instance of an entry you'll still need to create a field with the type 'Territories - Dropdown'. Then replace 'country' in the code below with the handle you give your field.
{% for option in craft.fields.getFieldByHandle('country').getFieldType.options %}
{{ option.label }}
{% endfor %}

> **Comments:**
> **username_8**: Many thanks Jered for the example. I found that outputting {{ option }} caused an array to string conversion error and I needed to use {{ option.value }} instead of just {{ option }} to get this working.
