How can I remove the Country field?

I have no need for a "Country" field in my OSC 2.2 RC2 installation. Specifically, I'm trying to remove the option from create_account.php. Here is what I've done so far:

 

I removed:

			  <tr>
			<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></td>
			<td class="main"><?php echo tep_get_country_list('country') . ' ' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
		  </tr>

 

I commented out:

	if (is_numeric($country) == false) {
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_COUNTRY_ERROR);
}

 

However, this causes various problems and there are a great deal more references to "country" in create_account.php and I'm wondering if there is a better way to go about this, or what else I need to remove to get rid of the field requirement. Suggestions?

I recommend to use the "Second Address Line" contribution as the guide, follow and instead of adding the Second Address Line remove the Country field.

I hope it will help, good luck.

Please read this line: Do you want to find all the answers to your questions? click here. As for contribution database it's located here!

8 people out of 10 don't bother to read installation manuals. I can recommend: if you can't read the installation manual, don't bother to install any contribution yourself.

Before installing contribution or editing/updating/deleting any files, do the full backup, it will save to you & everyone here on the forum time to fix your issues.

Thanks for the reply. I took a look at that contrib but I don't see how it is going to help me remove the country field and requirement - it just adds another address line, and the installation document is massive. It also doesn't have anything to do with removing the country field.

G'Day,

 

Hope this helps... I commented out all the lines containing fields I wanted to remove including the country pull down list but got the "please select Country" error when I tested the form. To fix this I made this simple change at around line 109.

 

if (is_numeric($country) == false) {

$error = false;

 

Hope that helps..
