    For the WorldCities mod, we need some help with getting the UK regions and cities sorted - so they are correct.... out of all of the coutries in the world, for some reason, UK is messed up.

    If someone is willing to help us out with this task, and a couple of other countries that need some work and cleanup - I will be happy to set them up with a copy of WorldCities for their site.

    What is it you need Rob?

    wouldn't fancy tackling the UK personally as there are 2Mil+ Postcodes, but it may be easy enough to do as the towns/cities are based on postcodes. i.e. PO = Portsmouth, SO = Southampton

    WorldCities does not use postcodes at all.... just country, region (like state or providence), and city.

    WorldCities uses Major cities, and you choose the "major city" closest to you.

    So really all we need is some of the regions and cities in the UK (and a few other small countries) cleaned up some. I don't think it is at all difficult, just perhaps time consuming.

    I think there are some advantages to using MajorCities (WorldCities) over postcodes... first, we can handle the whole world. Second - giving out post codes is a bit "personal" - I mean, if I live in a small town - do I really want people to be able to search within 10km of my postcode - and see my pic? No, I don't think so. So major cities adds some privacy - while still allowing a more than reasonable level of searching.

    Second - postcodes are difficult to use - for example - if I am going to visit Las Vegas - I guess I could find a post code for Las Vegas, but it seems a lot easier to just choose the city.

    So - what I am looking for someone to do it help us clean up some of the countries/regions/cities (the UK seems to be a particular problem now) and a few other ones...

    Hi,

    I was away in Hong Kong for a week or so - just got back - and am picking up some of these issues put on hold during my trip.

    Looks like you (Greggers) and Fuma are willing to help with this.

    Thanks,

    Rob

    Cool Postcode DB

    Hi,

    I'd really appreciate a copy too, pm me or email me at dan@webtropy.com.

    The postcodes-uk.zip file above contains only long/lat, not city names which is a pity.

    Hi,

    This is a really old thread from 2006.

    WorldCities - we have a mod to add WorldCities to your site, if desired. You can open a ticket with us for more information.

    Or, you can download the WorldCities database from Maxmind.Com and integrate it yourself.

    Warm regards,
    Smoge
