Using Product Cart 4.5a

Regarding country codes.

In the list of country codes - both on store front and back end I would like to establish the "US" as the default country in the country list.

So that a new customer would see "United States" as the pre-selected country, not Canada.

How do I go about this?

Thanks

Josh

Hi Josh,

The default select is the store ship from country. Assuming you want to retain that for other purposes, you can override the default for these drop down selects in the register account, add customer, and one page checked by doing the following on these two files:

/includes/javascripts/opc_pcStateandProvince.asp
/includes/javascripts/pcStateandProvince.asp

Find:

	if Session(pcv_strSessionPrefix&pcv_strCountryBox)="" then
		Session(pcv_strSessionPrefix&pcv_strCountryBox)=scShipFromPostalCountry
	end if

Just below that, add:

	Session(pcv_strSessionPrefix&pcv_strCountryBox)="US"

Thanks Sean:

I had looked at those files. But thought there might be another way.

I guess your way is the simplest. Occam's Razor.
