Hello everyone.

Recently, I found that I would like to have country name set as default so user will not have to pick it from list (because most of our customers are local - UK).

So to do it I modified class in res_country.py ...

class Country(osv.osv):

_name = 'res.country'

_description = 'Country'

def _get_country_name(self):

res = self.env['res.country'].search([('name','=','United Kingdom')])

print res

return res

_columns = {

'name': fields.char('Country Name',

help='The full name of the country.', required=True, translate=True),

'code': fields.char('Country Code', size=2,

help='The ISO country code in two chars.\n'

'You can use this field for quick search.'),

'address_format': fields.text('Address Format', help="""You can state here the usual format to use for the \

addresses belonging to this country.\n\nYou can use the python-style string patern with all the field of the address \

(for example, use '%(street)s' to display the field 'street') plus

\n%(state_name)s: the name of the state

\n%(state_code)s: the code of the state

\n%(country_name)s: the name of the country

\n%(country_code)s: the code of the country"""),

'currency_id': fields.many2one('res.currency', 'Currency'),

'image': fields.binary("Image"),

'country_group_ids': fields.many2many('res.country.group', 'res_country_res_country_group_rel', 'res_country_id', 'res_country_group_id', string='Country Groups'),

}

_sql_constraints = [

('name_uniq', 'unique (name)',

'The name of the country must be unique !'),

('code_uniq', 'unique (code)',

'The code of the country must be unique !')

]

_defaults = {

'address_format': "%(street)s\n%(street2)s\n%(city)s %(state_code)s %(zip)s\n%(country_name)s",

'name': _get_country_name,

}

I was hoping that it is so easy to achieve but unfortunately .... is not.

How can I achieve it ?

Would anyone tell me what is the best method ?

Don't know why I tried to achieve it in such complicated way .... ;)
