default country for create account

[computerwiz5]

I thought it would be appropriate to address this question here

Stevel, I saw your modification for the country state selector, I installed it, a long time ago though. Btu now I decided I do not want anyone signing up if they aren’t form the US. How and what do I have to hardcode so all occurrences, like in the create account, address book, etc will have the US id hard coded in there? Is there a contribution.

Thanks
Danny

Well, it probably would have been better to ask in the support thread for Country-State Selector at the osCommerce forum. But anyway...

In the forms you are interested, delete this:
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></td>
<?php // +Country-State Selector ?>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_get_country_list('country',$country,'onChange= "return refresh_form(create_account);"') . '&nbsp;' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
<?php // -Country-State Selector ?>
</tr>


That should do it.

What page do i have to do this too, the create account page, and address book page or what? I do not want them to create a account if there are not in the us, or i do not want them to ship outside the US. I dont want want anything to to with the remainign counties. Only US. What pages would i edit?

Thanks Stevel

My Country-State Selector contribution has edits to a number of files. But you don't need that if you simply want to restrict usage to US, as the contribution has not much value for a single country.

Do these two things. First, open your database using phpmyadmin.powweb.com and select the SQL tab. Type the following in and click GO:

DELETE FROM countries WHERE countries_name != 'United States';
