Get address field list for a country inside a controller

[brennino]

Hi,

 

When one of my customer is a company and is inside European Union they must insert a vat number inside the address form.

If the customer is a company and is outside European Union, vat number is not mandatory.

 

To achieve this situation, searching on this forum, I put this code inside /controllers/front/AddressController.php :

if ( isset($address->company)&& $address->company !="" )
{
		if((isset($_POST['vat_number']) && $_POST['vat_number']=='') || !isset($_POST['vat_number']))
			$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('VAT number required for companies');
}

This allows me to make vat_number mandatory for all companies and not for privates.

 

Now I have to know if the country selected by the user is inside the EU.

 

I think to remove the vat_number field for non UE countries (using the prestashop's admin panel) and check inside the controller if the country has or not vat_number field inside its field list.

 

How to get address field list for the country selected by the user?

 

Thanks
