id_country Set cookie country from POST or default country in link to pre-select country

[coMegaWebMaster]

Greetings,

Am trying to set in the country ID or ISO value within the link to pre-select the country. This is due that counties in EU have tax set in the price and out of EU the prices are without tax and if I send now an link to a customer they are not getting the price they should see.
I already have the code to set the correct currency and that is working fine, but not for the country and I hope here someone can help.

An example of what I want is:
www.demoshop.demo/en/categorie/product.html?the_country=24
OR
www.demoshop.demo/en/categorie/product.html?the_country=AU
that will result in pre-selecting Australia in this case, so also when you go to the checkout page that the country is already selected.

What I have so far in /override/classes/Tools.php for this, but does not work yet:

	public static function setCountry($cookie)
	{
		if (self::getIsset('the_country') && is_numeric(self::getValue('the_country'))) {
			$country = Country::getCountryInstance((int)(Tools::getValue('the_country')));
			if (is_object($country) && $country->id && !$country->deleted && $country->isAssociatedToShop()) {
				$cookie->id_country = (int)$country->id;
			}
		}

With kind regards,
Alexander.

Hello PrestaShoper,

See the attached image, this can give you a better idea of where you should make the modifications. File capture "/classes/controller/FrontController.php".

Best regards.

an option to consider

https://addons.prestashop.com/en/international-localization/27368-geo-targeting-pro-by-country-prices-taxes-currency-.html?pab=1&

basically then when they enter shop from their country, non-logged, they see their country catalog

note:  module supports two maxmin commerical db's and our clients are getting 99.75% resolve rate, the module has resolve insights.

maybe no help for your current situation, but if you are international company....I am giant in geo lol

happy selling

Hi El Patron,

I had a look at your module, but am afraid that this will not help me in this case. I really need to give a link that will pre-select the country no-matter where they are (or using a VPN), as what I already have with currencies now what is working. But I think am over-complicating or overthinking it and not seeing the obvious solution.

Just want to add in the link ?the_country=24 or ?the_country=AU, like:
www.demoshop.demo/en/categorie/product.html?the_currency=23?the_country=24
OR
www.demoshop.demo/en/categorie/product.html?the_currency=AUD?the_country=AU
that will result in pre-selecting Australia in this case.

Tomorrow I will re-look it with the information I got from jsonPTS and hopefully I can get it to work, but am open to suggestions

With kind regards,
Alexander.

Hi @elijah88,

This is a very old topic, am using a few modules to solve my issue, what PrestaShop version are you using and do you want to work?

 

With kind regards,
