How to get countries in a list in APEX

Hi Have scanned the resources and cannot find a solution that works:

I know it has to be done along these lines here:

public static void getCountries()
    {
        Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = Contact.MailingCountryCode.getDescribe();
        List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();
        for(Schema.PicklistEntry s:ple){
            
            System.debug('value: '+s.getLabel());
        } 
    }

BUT I get this error :  "Method does not exist or incorrect signature: void getDescribe() from the type String"


With VF Page including:

<apex:selectList value="{!Country}" size="1" required="true">
                    <apex:selectOptions value="{!Countriesj}"/>
                      </apex:selectList>

I have tried other code, like the one from @gregorz Skaruz 
 http://skaruz.com/en/2015/03/english-salesforce-how-to-access-state-and-country-picklists-values-in-apex/

It looks great, but is is coming up with an empty Select options List.

Any Help is appreciated.

Returning a date variable in APEX

This is probably just a novice error, but I could use some help on this.  I am trying to return a date field to use on my vf page.  I am taking a date from the Contacct object.  This is my method to get the Contact object: 
//  IDENTIFY CONTACT ASSOCIATED WITH CURRENT USER
    public Contact getContact () {
        return[SELECT Id, name, email, MailingAddress, Phone, MailingCity, MailingState, 
                                 MailingCountry,     MailingPostalCode, MailingStreet, 
                                 Membership_Category__c, Membership_End_Date__c, KI_Status__c, 
                                 Membership_Other_Charateristic__c 
               FROM Contact 
               WHERE Id IN (SELECT 	ContactId
                             From User
                             WHERE Id=:UserInfo.getUserId())
              				 LIMIT 1];
	}

I then want to add some years to the date (to make it easy I am just using the integer 3).  I am obviously doing it wrong, but not sure how to fix.  Here is what I tried,
  
// UDPATE MEMBERSHIP END DATE
    public date newEndDate {get;set;}
    
    Public static date UpdateEndDate (){
        Date newEndDate = Contact.Membership_End_Date__c.addYears(3);
       return newEndDate;
   }

SOQL Query Help - using one query to identify the next layer

I will preface this that I am fairly new at creating a controller so there several poor practices going on here.

The first Class (Contact) works fine.  and I am trying to use it to help me get the related membership to the identified contact.  I have tried several ways to get it done, but keep running into errors.  I feel I am close, but that is only good with hand grenades and horse shoes.

Here is part of my Controller:
  
public Contact getContact () {
        
        return[SELECT Id, name, email, MailingAddress, Phone, MailingCity, MailingState, MailingCountry, MailingPostalCode, MailingStreet 
               FROM Contact 
               WHERE Id IN (SELECT 	ContactId
                             From User
                             WHERE Id=:UserInfo.getUserId())
              LIMIT 1];

    }
  public Membership__c getMembership () {
        
        return[SELECT Id
               FROM Membership__c
               WHERE Contact_Associated__c = {!Contact.Id}

how to reference userid in lightning component

Hi, I am trying to a field from the active user in a component and use it in an if statement.

 <aura:if isTrue="{!$User.IsActive}">
    <td class="button"><a href="#" target="_blank">
               <lightning:button label="Join"/></a></td>
    <aura:set attribute="else">
        <td class="button"><a href="#" target="_blank">
               <lightning:button label="Renew Membership"/></a></td>
    </aura:set>
</aura:if>


I assume I am using the wrong syntax for {!$User.IsActive} as it always throws up the else and IsActive is definitely TRUE for the current user.

Problems with Community Register Template

Two problems with the Communities Register Template:
 
1) When I select "Forgot password?" and then click "cancel", the startURL is changed so that it goes to communities rather than the app that started the process.  I need it to go to the app.
 
2) When I add Country as an extra field, it is not a drop down list (as it is in my org) but it is a free fill field which will cause problems.
 
Any ideas?

Why are my variables not being called from Apex

Why are my variables not being called
I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong here.  This was working before.  

MY VF Page
  
<apex:page Controller="TestP" showHeader="false">

<apex:pageBlock><apex:pageBlockSection>
    <apex:form>
   Email given: {!cemail} 
   Email Returned: {!IdentifyUser.email} 
   Name: {!IdentifyUser.name}
    </apex:form>
    </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>


My Controller 
public class TestP {
    Public string cemail {get;set;} 
    Public Contact IdentifyUser {get;set;}
    Public Contact x {get;set;}
    
    // IDENTIFY USER BASED ON EMAIL ADDRESS
    Public Contact getIdentifyUser(){       
     cemail='kevin@caberu.be';   
       Contact x = [SELECT Id, firstname, email, name             
              FROM Contact 
              WHERE email = :cemail 
                              LIMIT 1]; 
        Return x;

    }
}


The VF page does not show any of the variables.

Any help is appreciated.  Where is the bug?

Returning a date variable in APEX

This is probably just a novice error, but I could use some help on this.  I am trying to return a date field to use on my vf page.  I am taking a date from the Contacct object.  This is my method to get the Contact object: 
//  IDENTIFY CONTACT ASSOCIATED WITH CURRENT USER
    public Contact getContact () {
        return[SELECT Id, name, email, MailingAddress, Phone, MailingCity, MailingState, 
                                 MailingCountry,     MailingPostalCode, MailingStreet, 
                                 Membership_Category__c, Membership_End_Date__c, KI_Status__c, 
                                 Membership_Other_Charateristic__c 
               FROM Contact 
               WHERE Id IN (SELECT 	ContactId
                             From User
                             WHERE Id=:UserInfo.getUserId())
              				 LIMIT 1];
	}

I then want to add some years to the date (to make it easy I am just using the integer 3).  I am obviously doing it wrong, but not sure how to fix.  Here is what I tried,
  
// UDPATE MEMBERSHIP END DATE
    public date newEndDate {get;set;}
    
    Public static date UpdateEndDate (){
        Date newEndDate = Contact.Membership_End_Date__c.addYears(3);
       return newEndDate;
   }

SOQL Query Help - using one query to identify the next layer

I will preface this that I am fairly new at creating a controller so there several poor practices going on here.

The first Class (Contact) works fine.  and I am trying to use it to help me get the related membership to the identified contact.  I have tried several ways to get it done, but keep running into errors.  I feel I am close, but that is only good with hand grenades and horse shoes.

Here is part of my Controller:
  
public Contact getContact () {
        
        return[SELECT Id, name, email, MailingAddress, Phone, MailingCity, MailingState, MailingCountry, MailingPostalCode, MailingStreet 
               FROM Contact 
               WHERE Id IN (SELECT 	ContactId
                             From User
                             WHERE Id=:UserInfo.getUserId())
              LIMIT 1];

    }
  public Membership__c getMembership () {
        
        return[SELECT Id
               FROM Membership__c
               WHERE Contact_Associated__c = {!Contact.Id}
              LIMIT 1];
}

how to reference userid in lightning component

Hi, I am trying to a field from the active user in a component and use it in an if statement.

 <aura:if isTrue="{!$User.IsActive}">
    <td class="button"><a href="#" target="_blank">
               <lightning:button label="Join"/></a></td>
    <aura:set attribute="else">
        <td class="button"><a href="#" target="_blank">
               <lightning:button label="Renew Membership"/></a></td>
    </aura:set>
</aura:if>


I assume I am using the wrong syntax for {!$User.IsActive} as it always throws up the else and IsActive is definitely TRUE for the current user.

Thanks for any help
