Removing country from display

[cesarpenafiel]

I am having a lot of trouble removing the country from the order-opc-new-account.tpl. I have tried hiding the field, but that creates a "TECHNICAL ERROR: unable to save account" even when I set the default country or when I set the field as a text field and set the value to the ISO country code I want. I then started hardcoding anything that had $address->id_country with the country code I want in the AuthController.php and that almost fixes the problem, except I get a blank address shown in the next page (order-opc.php). I give up! Please help. I am using version 1.4.

Thank you!

I understand you have only your own country to ship to. a simple solution without hardcoding would be to disable all other countries. u can do this like so(UK being f.e the country you want to leave intact):

go to phpMyadmin, click on the SQL tab, execute this line of code:

UPDATE ps_country SET active=0 WHERE iso_code NOT LIKE 'UK'

Did you try to add style="display:none" to the country drop down?

I did try using UPDATE and it does work, however, I really want to remove even showing the city, state and country.

I also just tried setting the style="display:none;" and it is the same effect as using:

The error I get is TECHNICAL ERROR: Unable save account. If I then hard code the country in the
AuthController.php file to bypass this error:

if (!$country = new Country(MYCOUNTRYISOCODE, Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT')) OR !Validate::isLoadedObject($country))

I get passed that error but then on the next screen I get a blank address...

Thanks for your help. If I can't find an answer to this, I will have to live with showing the fields with default values and having only one country enabled. I just find it puzzling that this is so hard to accomplish.
