USA is number 1!

[smokey2008]

Yes, my client wants to make the USA the first choice when someone joins the site to purchase something and has to type in their address and select the country they are from; number 1 as opposed to way down on the list, because most of the customers will be coming from America.

 

How would I go about doing this?

Rick,

 

If you go into your database under countries use myphpadmin and change the sequence of the countries. Making USA 1 then your second country 2 .....etc. While you are there, you can also remove any country that you do not want creating an account on your site. For Example, if you don't plan to sell to Australia, you can remove them from the list so that people from Australia do not create an account on the site.

Thanks, Chris. I see in phpMyAdmin in the countries table how Afghanistan is now "countries_id" number 1. Does that mean that if I don't want to drop any countries that I'll have to renumber each of the countries there?

Is there a simpler way to do this so that USA is the default number 1 entry?

 

Thanks,

R
