Hiding Country in Cart Registration form

I have set up my site just to have the UK as a country, as I will only be dealing with UK based customers.
By default the country shows up when registering a customer with a drop down box of 1, so I would like to get rid of the Country box from the registration.



If I go into Menus/Display/Custom Fields and edit 'address_country' by selecting Published to 'No' & Required to 'No', the Country field is no longer displayed, but now my County drop down box field is now missing.



Many thanks.

Apologies my screen shots should have been better above, so here goes again...

Hi,

You should keep the country field published. Instead, just add that CSS in the front end CSS file of HikaShop via the Display tab of the configuration in order to hide it:
#address_country{display:none;}

Hi Nicolas,

Many thanks, we are almost there.
Is there a way of hiding the whole 'Country' line, as at the moment I get the Label plus the '*' remining.

Thanks.

Hi Nicolas,

Actually I have just solved it, by setting the 'address_country' field, Required flag to 'No', and clearing out the Label Name.

Thanks again.

Then you should use that CSS instead :

.hikashop_registration_address_country_line{display:none;}

Many thanks Nicolas,

I think I may be getting the hang of this now.

May I ask some related questions please:

1. When I first edit the 'frontend_default.css' file and save it, it creates a 'frontend_custom.css' file, and I understand the reasons for this.
2. Can I make what changes I need to my 'frontend_custom.css' file anywhere in the file?
3. The supplied editor in Configuration/Display is quite simple, for example it has no search facility, so is it OK to edit my 'frontend_custom.css' file directly with something like Notepad++?
4. What happens during an HikaShop update, as I assume you may change the 'frontend_default.css' file, so there could be new/modified elements in the new 'frontend_default.css' file not present in my old custom file?

Many thanks.

2. Yes, you can change the CSS anywhere in the custom CSS file.

3. Yes, you can directly edit it with your preferred text editor.

4. That's indeed the case. You might need to copy new CSS from the new CSS file to your custom CSS file.
Otherwise, you can also add your CSS in your template's CSS file and keep the default CSS file of HikaShop. That way, you always get the new CSS of HikaShop.
But then you might loose your CSS when you update your template...

Many thanks for the information Nicolas.

Hi there,

i have a similar problem (need to remove the only UK dropdown menu) and County has no field/drop down.

i have been through the CSS mentioned but cannot track down the specific elements.

Any advice?

thanks

You should use that CSS to remove the country:

.hikashop_registration_address_country_line{display:none;}

If the county (state) is not displayed there that two possible reasons.
One is that you unpublished/deleted all the counties (states) of UK. You should check that via the menu System->Zones.
The second one is that you have javascript errors on your page:

Nicolas! I'm having trouble editing the width of the drop down menu for country selection, and also I'm thinking of removing it. Where can I find the CSS entry for that class: hikashop_registration_address_country_line?? I've been searching but can't find it!

Hi,

1. If you want to change the width of your country drop-down of your registration form, you'll have to use some CSS code like : 2. And if you want to hide your country drop-down of your registration form, some CSS code like this will probably do the job :
