Hide Empty Address Lines

Hi,

When someone adds an address all the empty lines are removed. Except one line automatically gets a comma put in. How do I remove that?

Re: Hide Empty Address Lines

That is not out of the box from Zencart. You probably did something to it for that to happen.

I would look at the DB for addresses. Is the comma in there? If so, look at the files that processed the address input. If not, the comma might just be in the HTML of the template files, by mistake.

Re: Hide Empty Address Lines

thanks for that.

The comma is not in the database. But it happens no matter what template I use.

What files should I be looking at?

Re: Hide Empty Address Lines

Hey. Got it sorted. For anyone who is interested:

Open you database, then open address_format and edit the address format to remove the comma after city. Still leaves the blank line appearing. So if anyone has ideas?

Re: Hide Empty Address Lines

Ok,

Been working on this for the last 5 hours and to be honest getting a bit fed up :)

I'm 99% sure the edit needs to be done in functions_customers.

and it needs to be something like if city = '' ignore or else display.

I am unsure how to do this and would appreciate any advice or help!

Thanks

Re: Hide Empty Address Lines

City should be required, an address without a city does not make sense at all.

Re: Hide Empty Address Lines

well in ireland address are very short. two lines can be enough.

One thing that drives me bananas is signing up to a website when I need to add fake lines to my address.

For example my address is XX Lower Dorset St, Dublin 1. I once had to do: XX Lower Dorset St, Dublin 1, Dublin, DUB, CO Dublin!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Hide Empty Address Lines

Just had a look to see how the address format is created in functions_customers.php...

what about creating a new address format just for Ireland?

other than that, like you said, the function will have to be rewritten...

Re: Hide Empty Address Lines

Im still having this issue.

Its the last thing thats keeping my new site to be launched. Please anyone who can help, I would be forever grateful.

I would like all country to get the same address form. Nothing fancy such as state dropdown. it irriatates me when sites force you to fill out an address in a specific way even if it is wrong.
