Default Contry on registration form

Is there a way to set the default country in the registration page to UK, I have figured out changing the display order put it to the top if the country list, but I would like a way of selected UK by default as most of our customers are based in the uk.

Ok we have some over seas customers.

But I like it so that the uk is the default, with out me having to go and delve through the C# code.

hi.. if you are using nopcommerce 2.6 goto Presentation/Nop.Web/Controllers folder and find CustomerController.cs.

then find the method  

[NopHttpsRequirement(SslRequirement.Yes)]
        public ActionResult Register()

then find the following line. ( line no. 461 & 462)

foreach (var c in _countryService.GetAllCountries())
                {

insert below (line 463) the following code. it'll select default as uk. 80 is the country code for uk in nop database table.

if(c.Id==80)
     model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name), Value = c.Id.ToString(),Selected=true });
else

It will still say "Select a country" by default, won't it?

Thanks for the help with the code change I found useful I modified my code to this

if (_customerSettings.CountryEnabled)
            {
                //model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = _localizationService.GetResource("Address.SelectCountry"), Value = "80" });
                foreach (var c in _countryService.GetAllCountries())
                {

                    if (c.Id==80)
                    {
                        model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name), Value = c.Id.ToString(), Selected = true });
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name), Value = c.Id.ToString() });
                    }
                  
                }

Also made the changes in the admin model as well, so the uk is now at the top of the country list.

Thanks all.

Oops the comment out line should read

//model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = _localizationService.GetResource("Address.SelectCountry"), Value = "0" });

Also moded

[NonAction]
        private void PrepareCustomerInfoModel(CustomerInfoModel model, Customer customer, bool excludeProperties)
{ ...

Changed the following lines...


//model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = _localizationService.GetResource("Address.SelectCountry"), Value = "0" });
                foreach (var c in _countryService.GetAllCountries())
                {

                    if (model.CountryId == 0)
                    {
                        if (c.Id == 80)
                        {
                            model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name), Value = c.Id.ToString(), Selected = true });
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name), Value = c.Id.ToString() });
                        }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem()
                        {
                            Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name),
                            Value = c.Id.ToString(),
                            Selected = c.Id == model.CountryId
                        });
                    }
                    
                }




...}

So if the person dose not put in the country it defaults to the uk on there account page if there is no country selected...

Hey,

Does anyone knows how to get this work on Nop 3.4?
I don't get it to work.

UPDATE
Got it!

You also need do the changes in Nop.Web/Extensions/MappingExtensions.cs on line 133

//model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = _localizationService.GetResource("Address.SelectCountry"), Value = "0" });
                foreach (var c in loadCountries())
                {
                    if (model.CountryId == 0)
                    {
                        if (c.Id == 74)
                        {
                            model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem()
                            {
                                Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name),
                                Value = c.Id.ToString(),
                                Selected = true
                            });
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem()
                            {
                                Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name),
                                Value = c.Id.ToString()
                            });
                        }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        model.AvailableCountries.Add(new SelectListItem()
                        {
                            Text = c.GetLocalized(x => x.Name),
                            Value = c.Id.ToString(),
                            Selected = c.Id == model.CountryId
                        });

                    }

                }

Kind Regards.

I'm new to MVC/.net so still struggling with following the code fully.

I've added this on a NOP Version 3.5 and whilst it selects UK successfully as the default Country it does not automatically populate the State list with the Counties(UK State list), have I missed something or is the original code not designed to enable this to fire?

Renners.
