Another day, another little ExpressionEngine Plug-in. I needed to return a list of UK counties in a standalone entry form. I could have simply flicked on PHP for the template and spewed forth a foreach from an array but I thought I’d wrap it all up in a plug-in instead, so here it is.

The ‘UK Counties Select’ plug-in simply renders a drop down select form element with an alphabetical list of UK counties. Usage of the plug-in is as follows:

{exp:np_uk_counties_select name="counties"}

I could add options to specify a class, id etc but for now this does the job just fine for me.

Obviously let me know in the comments if you have any thoughts on how this can be improved. Enjoy!
