Remove Country field in customer signup

[Tom73]

Hi,

 

I have been looking for a solution to 1. remove the country field from the customer signup and 2. add a field like `mobile` phone number.

 

Does someone know a good solution for this?

(Too bad that you can't turn them on/off in the admin module like can be done with gender/comp/suburb/state ; probably too many dependencies with payment/shipping mods?)

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

Is it enough to just change the field to a hidden field with the correct country?

 

<input type="hidden" value="223">

 

This assuming you want to enter the USA in the country field.

Hi, in what file do I have to do this? I looked in the customer_detail file but I cannot find the tag.

 

Thanks,

Find

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

 

and change it to

<td class="main"><input type="hidden" value="223"> </td>

 

This sets the country automatically to the USA.

Keep in mind that all calculations for shipping etc.. will now assume all your customenrs are US based.

Hi Rob,

 

Thanks, country field is gone but when I submit the form it comes back with all the values, like I haven't filled out everything (no error msgs though). Looks like the form validator is doing 'something'?

 

Thanks,

Sorry, I'm being sloppy, you need to change it to:

 

<td class="main"><input name="country" type="hidden" value="223"> </td>
