removing countries from where?

 

If talking about drop down select there is a easy way to default to uk.

i want to remove all countries from admin > locations > countries so that overseas customers cannot buy on my site - any ideas?

The easiest way is with PHPMyAdmin. Just check all of them then uncheck the UK. Another way is to delete them all (if their is a button in osC), then add UK back in. Just remember the details before deleting.

Just edit includes\functions\html_output.php and amend the following bit to default ALL country LOVs to your shops country.

 

after:

// Creates a pull-down list of countries

function tep_get_country_list($name, $selected = '', $parameters = '') {

 

Add:

if ( strlen($selected)==0 ) $selected = STORE_COUNTRY;

You could edit create account & address files to remove country field, better would be to let them put it, then test in checkout & deny there, otherwise they may ignore country as they cant set it.
