Removal of zones (in sweden)

Hi!
I want to remove the zones in my opencart 1.3.4 because there is no need and use of it in Sweden.
How do I do that, please:-)

Mats

An alternative could be setting zone not mandatory. Is that easier perhaps?

best regards,
Mats

I'm here looking for same solution, also from Sweden If you get any answers to this, could you publish the solution here too?

Självklart delar jag med mig!
Sure I will tell you all

Hi,

I'm actually working on a solution for this at the moment, as we dont need zones in Denmark either. But since all the shipping/payment/tax modules are all depending on a geozone, I was thinking about:

* Delete all the danish zones, and make a new one called 'Denmark' (for geozone purposes)

* If the selected country is 'Denmark', hide the zone selection (and auto-select the 'Denmark'-zone).

This way, I don't have to touch anything but the zone() methods, and add a few lines of javascript in a few files.

I would like to hear from Qphoria, as he seems to understand this stuff better than anyone.

A very quick fix:

As described in my previous post, you can remove all the sub-zones for Sweden, and make a new zone called 'Sweden' to not mess up your geo-zone modules (shipping/payment/tax)

When 'Sweden' is selected as country, the zone selection will disappear, but it will make sure the 'Sweden'-zone is chosen.

There are 4 files which requires modification, but it's the same changes to all of them.
-> controller/account/address.php
-> controller/account/create.php
-> controller/checkout/address.php
-> controller/checkout/guest.php
and the respective .tpl files

Note: '57' is country_id for Denmark. You will have to replace it with your id of Sweden. It's 203 by default.

Edit catalog/controller/account/create.php
Find (in function zone(), at the bottom) Replace with Edit catalog/view/theme/yourtemplate/template/account/create.tpl
Find: Replace with: In the same file, at the bottom, find: After, insert: --
Edit: To get rid of the zone name @ invoices and stuff, enter this in the 'Address Format' field for your country:

Thank you! Works alright so far what I can see. Now I have other problems, but that's another thread

Thanks a lot!
It works great but I have a little question at the bottom of this page:

Edit catalog/controller/account/create.php
Find (in function zone(), at the bottom)

Code: Select all

	    $output .= '<option value="FALSE">' . $this->language->get('text_select') . '</option>'; 

Replace with

Code: Select all

        $output = '';
        
        if($this->request->get['country_id'] != '57') {
		    $output .= '<option value="FALSE">' . $this->language->get('text_select') . '</option>';
        }

Edit catalog/view/theme/yourtemplate/template/account/create.tpl
Find:

Code: Select all

          <tr>
            <td><span class="required">*</span> <?php echo $entry_zone; ?></td>
            <td><select name="zone_id">
              </select>
              <?php if ($error_zone) { ?>
              <span class="error"><?php echo $error_zone; ?></span>
              <?php } ?></td>
          </tr>

Replace with:

Code: Select all

          <tr id="zoneCheck">
            <td><span class="required">*</span> <?php echo $entry_zone; ?></td>
            <td><select name="zone_id">
              </select>
              <?php if ($error_zone) { ?>
              <span class="error"><?php echo $error_zone; ?></span>
              <?php } ?></td>
          </tr>

In the same file, at the bottom, find:

Code: Select all

$('select[name=\'zone_id\']').load('index.php?route=account/create/zone&country_id=<?php echo $country_id; ?>&zone_id=<?php echo $zone_id; ?>');

After, insert:

Code: Select all

$(document).ready(function () { 
    if ($("#country_id").attr('value') == '57') {
        $('#zoneCheck').css('display', 'none');
    }
    
    $("#country_id").change(function () {
        if(this.value == '57') {
            $('#zoneCheck').css('display', 'none'); 
        } else {
            $('#zoneCheck').css('display', '');
        }
    });
});

Edit: To get rid of the zone name @ invoices and stuff, enter this in the 'Address Format' field for your country:

Code: Select all

{firstname} {lastname}
{company}
{address_1}
{address_2}
{postcode} {city}
{country}

Is this working on OpenCart 1.5.1.3.1?
Where can I find the country code for Norway?
