Remove countries from checkout in config/shop.php

Hi, I am trying to remove all countries except for a few from checkout address option. I do not want to tamper with core configuration and I am wondering if it is possible to do it in config/shop.php.

If I try the following, it just changes the first two countries in the list:

Code: Select all

'client' => array(
		'html' => array(
			'checkout' => array(
	            'standard' => array(
	                'address' => array(
	                    'countries' => array(
	                    	'[0]' => 'US',
	                    	'[1]' => 'GB',
	                    ),
	                ),
	            ),
	        ),
		),
	),

The following code appears to do nothing at all:

Code: Select all

'client' => array(
		'html' => array(
			'checkout' => array(
	            'standard' => array(
	                'address' => array(
	                    'countries' => array(
	                    	'US',
	                    	'GB',
	                    ),
	                ),
	            ),
	        ),
		),
	),

What can I do if I just want those two countries to be available for users to select from?

This works with the latest stable Aimeos core (2016.07.5)

I updated my shop to 2016.07 version but it still behaves the same way. The documentation shows it to be the latest stable version and it seems to risky to use dev versions for me.

What are my other options rather than altering `client/html/checkout/standard/address/countries`?

If I want to remove those countries within core library, where do I find the list of countries? The only file I found that has any list of countries is `..\vendor\aimeos\aimeos-core\client\i18n\country\core-client-country.pot`. Is this the file that I am trying to configure through shop.php? I was looking through the database for a table with countries, but I couldn't find it either.

I ended up changing the list of countries in

Code: Select all

..\vendor\aimeos\aimeos-core\client\html\config\client.php

This only works in v 2016.04. I couldn't figure out how to do it in v 2016.07

The problem is the "[0]" and "[1]":

As it's a PHP array it must be

Code: Select all

	                    	0 => 'US',
	                    	1 => 'GB',

The Laravel integration didn't allow to overwrite a setting that contains a list of values up to now. They have been merged instead.
The latest release (2017.07.3) offers the same functionality as Symfony. You can add your countries to the config/shop.php file and only those will be displayed.
