Hi All

Does this contrib remove the drop down from the "Country" selection field and defaults to UK in create_account etc... ?

[The Vulture]

Fantastic. ....  why does it always happen .. you search all night, fail, post a question on the forum and 2 minutes later find the answer ....  

Cheers for a simple mod.

Hi,

I'm trying to use the contib but have a problem with Lodon as a state, I live in Twickenham Middlesex, Middlesex isn't listed as a state so I used London. However when I continue I get asked to select a county from the pull down, I select London and go round in the same loop?


Any help would be greatlt appreciated,

Regards,

Martin

Fixed it, added the mods to zone_query suggested in an earlier post to create_acccount and address_book, I think I may have had a typo aswell.

Hi Guys

Right im using the uk contrib but have noticed several countrys missing:
Azores
Balearic isles
Corsica
Guernsey
Jersey
Maderia
Sardinia
Sicily
and this is just with a quick look through.

Im in the process of writing a contrib for Parcelforce Euro 48 and International standard shipping rates so realy could do with pointing in the direction of whereever you managed to find a list of country codes.
Im a good way through this so the sooner i can get this info the sooner it will be available. Taken a while as Parcel Force breaks down into TEN zones

Cheers guys

They aren't missing because none of them is a country.

Question:

Has anyone hacked the Mr - Mrs radio buttons into a drop-down for Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, and Dr yet by any chance?

[Scooby]

OK..... I've been through the tutorial bits in this thread and it's partially working.....

In "My Account", it shows the Primary Address in the format:
Name
Address1
City
Postcode
County
Country

but the Address Book Entries is correct.

If I go through the order process, the Shipping Address is shown in the same (wrong) format as above, in the Shipping Information page, the billing address in the Payment Information page is also the same (wrong) format and in the Order Confirmation page it's also the same (wrong) format.  When the order confirmation email is sent, that also contains the same (wrong) format.  I've obviously missed something somewhere, help please

[peterc]

Can this be used to upgrade an existing install by overwtiting the files and uploading the sql file. Or does it need to be a fresh install?

If you are making the mods as an update to an existing installation (i.e. making the mods manually) you also need to change an entry in the database table "countries"
Change the address_format_id field for the entry United Kingdom from 1 to 2
and
Change the address_format_id field for the entry United States from 2 to 1

This field refers to another table "address_format" in which you can define a number of country specific formats for addresses.

You may want the change the countries|address_format_id field for other countries depending on where you expect to sell.

Great contribution and thanks to all who have contributed!

Just add it to the list of zones in admin.
Apologies if you've already figured that out but I only just found this thread which, I have to say has been invaluble!!

Hi there,
Not sure how I should install this. OSC is provided by my host, and just gets installed onto my server, so I don't get the chance to see or overwrite any of the installation files. Can somebody please tell me what to do.
Regards,
Claire

[chooch]

great contribution......

however, i have copied all the files on to a fresh install of oscommerce and added the sql and updated the database to make it UK1/US2 - but have the following problem:-

i) create_account.php

when registering as a new customer, i select United Kingdom and 'continue', it takes me back to the same page asking to select 'county/state', but when i select London it just keeps referring me back to the same damn page!!!  I tink all the other counties work but not London

please advise me on what to do.. thanks

[tsvenkat]

Same problem for me too..

When we choose LONDON, it just does not allow further

[neilwillis]

Same Problem,  

A customer just phoned to let me know.

Anyone got a fix for this?


Thanks

Neil

[alkazar]

Great Contrib.

One problem, now that I have installed the contrib, the VAT is no longer displayed with the price. I haven't changed any of the files and am running with the database data contributed. Any ideas why this should be?


ken.

[alkazar]

Ah the stupidity of age

After racking my tiny little brain trying to find out what was wrong I eventually found it - the product wasn't in a taxable group so there would be no VAT to show up!

Creeps quietly out of this topic now....................

[TDK]

I also have the problem when a customer chooses London for both the city and county it goes in a loop. Has anyone managed to fix this yet?

[ThatMan]

Whilst waiting for a programmer to come up with a solution, I came up with this:

I changed the name of 'Londonderry' in the zone list to 'Londoonderry' and everything works fine.

To be honest, I don't expect many visitors from there, and only a small percentage of those would notice the spelling mistake.

The reason I added an extra 'o' rather than changing letters around is to keep the same alphabetical listing... no other reason  

Other things I have found in the zone list:
Duplicated "Jersey" (I know I was drunk when I visited the island, but I'm sure there is only 1!)  
Duplicated "Gwynedd" (I hope there is only 1!)  
Lower case "west" in "North West Highlands"

Hope this helps
Steve

excellent stuff from the brits!

shame i didn't come across this about 4 weeks ago, when i got the usa version. but i've changed bits and bobs and am quite happy with the way my site is.

i might change a few bits to suggestions in this forum, but i am sure customers will be ok with it.

keep it up!
