m3ckon Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi there, I've installed Prestashop and am moving away from a shopify store that I've had for the past 6 months. My decision to move was based on cost and flexibility and from what I can see Prestashop is a far superior product. Currently I have a dilema, my store sells products in Poland and I keep stock in Poland. I'm about to offer the same service in the UK and will keep seperate stock in the UK. I wanted to managed this in Prestashop, but am struggling a little. I tried using the advanced stock feature and creating a polish and UK warehouse. I then created 2 couriers and limited them to each country (by using new zones.) However this doesn't work and I know why: The language selection does not limit you to a country Does anyone know a way around this?

PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 for each country create a separate shop using 1.5 (multishoip) ... i.e. co.uk co.pl etc. learn more HERE ...is not really possible in a single shop because your other countries will not have the correct default country/currency/pricing/language etc etc etc..for non-logged in visitors, well just for starters...then you will have nothing but problems once you discorver single shop with only certain products by country...doesn't work...let alone menu's....

m3ckon Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thank you! That makes sense and have now gone down the multishop route. The issue I know have is when I change country it does not change shop. I'm pretty sure that I can change this behavior by rewriting the switchLanguage() function to redirect, but I wondered if there's a more elegant and simple solution?

PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 When you say change country it does not change shop...how are you changing country in registration? IMHO, you should stay away from language tied to country other than as a default language. I would use country flags that would hot link to the correct country shop...so say the Polish Flag (looks like language flag) when clicked would put them in your Polish shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3ckon Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 That's exactly what I'm trying to do, but I just don't see a way of going it. Do I have to jump into the code, if so where? or do I need a module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3ckon Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hi - sorry to be a pain, but does anyone else know how to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 If you can not develop this yourself, then you need to 1) find a module to do it 2) find a developer to create it.... it's really nothing more than say copying the language picker....changing it to then support click by country..probably get someone (not me) to do it for 50 euros... best reagards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3ckon Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sure, I'm new to Prestashop, but had a look at the code and ended up editting the blocklanguages module and also config\configinc.php I changed the logic in the Bloacklanguages to be a case statement and to choose one of my shop urls based on the language selected.
