Remove country from Shipping Estimate

[gothstone]

The site I will be opening soon only ships to the US via USPS. So in my case all the shipping estimator needs to know is the zip code.

I have deleted all other zones and countries, so only United states appears in the drop box.

In the \current\includes\templates\mytemplate\templates\tpl_modules_shipping_estimator. php file I deleted the code:

<label class="inputLabel" for="stateZone" id="zoneLabel"><?php echo ENTRY_STATE; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('zone_id', zen_prepare_country_zones_pull_down($selected_country), $state_zone_id, 'id="stateZone"');?>
<br class="clearBoth" id="stBreak" />
<label class="inputLabel" for="state" id="stateLabel"><?php echo $state_field_label; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('state', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_state', '40') . ' id="state"') .'&nbsp;<span class="alert" id="stText">&nbsp;</span>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

to get rid of the state dropdown.

If I delete the code:

<label class="inputLabel" for="country"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_get_country_list('zone_country_id', $selected_country, 'id="country" onchange="update_zone(this.form);"'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

to get rid of the country drop down the shipping estimate fails. I presume we need to feed the country code to the USPS API.

So my question is, how can I modify that code not to display anything, but to shove in the United States country code?

This might work:

<?php zen_draw_hidden_field('zone_country_id', 223); ?>

Thanks! Thats pretty much what I was looking for, but having tried several variations on it, I can't get it to work. I did find something that works:

<input type="hidden" name="zone_country_id" value="223" selected="Selected"/> 

but thats really ugly/non-zen. How can I input that through zen_draw_hidden_field?

[DrByte]

This would add the "Selected" parameter:

<?php zen_draw_hidden_field('zone_country_id', 223, 'selected="Selected"'); ?>

I want to remove the Country and State pull down menus from the shipping estimate page and leave just the Post/Zip Code entry field as the customer will have to make special arrangements to ship overseas and the state pull down does not alter the totals.

While initially everything looked great after following the instructions above I noticed that now when different zip codes are entered there is no change with the shipping amounts.


What went wrong???


I even tried it by removing

<?php zen_draw_hidden_field('zone_country_id', 223, 'selected="Selected"'); ?>

There does not seem to be a way to comment them out via CSS because they are not specific enough.

Have to redo this post, see next post.

Do I need both of these snippets of code?

<input##type="hidden"##name="zone_country_id"##value="223"##selected="Selected"/>##

grrrrrr minus all the # symbols.

and

<?php zen_draw_hidden_field('zone_country_id', 223, 'selected="Selected"'); ?>

OK no that does not work either. Anyone know how to remove the country and state pull downs without breaking the estimator? I just want the zip code left.
