I'm new to this and have found this forum extremely helpful and educational. It almost always points me in the right direction and I'm making progress in my customization abilities daily. I am using ZC 1.3.9d and downloaded both "add customer from admin 1.07 and "encrypted master password 1.2" because I do many face to face transactions and wanted to be able to set up a customers account on the spot and use it as a substitute POS system. The issue with acfa not entering a zone in entry_zone_id in table zen_address_book makes this addon useless for states that have a sales tax and for shipping calculations. If you have encrypted master password installed you can use it as a temporary fix for now by logging into the customers account and updating the state field under change entries in my address book. If you used acfa to create the account you'll notice that the state/province field is blank. Use the dropdown to enter a state, click update, and voila.....the database gets updated with the correct zone and the full state name from acfa is removed in the database.
The state entry in acfa serves no function whatsoever but placing the full state name in the entry_state field in the database. Customer created accounts have no entry in this field. So I now understand what the problem is and have the logic figured out. I should be able to have a fix including a dropdown this week sometime. I'm not a professional but I will make sure it's functional and tested before I post the fix. Aside from this one shortfall this addon is perfect for my needs. In the meantime install encrypted master password 1.2 and just update the state from the customers account. A pain, but it works.
