[Done 1.3.9a] 1.3.8a-"State/Province" becomes blank -Updating Address book

[bigm]

Hello,

I'm using ZenCart 1.3.8a.

We have a problem with updating Address Book Entry.
It happens with the setting "State - Always display as pulldown" is True.


When a customer ,in a country which does not have state pulldown list, tries to change his adress in his Address Book, his state information becomes blank.
So,need to type the state name agin to go though.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any input!

I have the same problem. Also with version 1.3.8a. Would seem to be a bug unfortunately.

My current Configuration\Customer Details settings:

State :: true
State - Always display as pulldown? :: true

My current Configuration\Minimum Values settings:

State :: [empty] (NOT the numeral zero)

[note: this is so State can be optional for countries that do not have states/provinces]

I will try my best to investigate/fix the code myself (might take a while as I'm new to both PHP and Zen Cart), but it would be ace if someone else has already has come up with a fix for this?

If I don't hear anything back, I will post my solution here if and when I manage to get somewhere. If I do post some code, it would be fab if someone from the Zen team could look over what I've done?

Thanks and best wishes,
Jean-Paul

Well, I've found the offending line of code in tpl_modules_address_book_details.php

echo zen_draw_input_field('state', zen_get_zone_name($entry->fields['entry_country_id'], $entry->fields['entry_zone_id'], $entry->fields['entry_state']), zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_state', '40') . ' id="state"');

Changing the name of the Input field from 'state' to anything else (for example 'TEST_state') solves the problem. However, I don't yet know why nor what else this might break. So don't go changing this code just yet!

Would appreciate any leads - if any of the Zen Cart team are reading this?!

Thanks!

You'll need to make changes in 3 places, on 2 lines of code:
/includes/modules/pages/address_book_process/header_php.php
line 70, change as shown:

    $state = (isset($_POST['state'])) ? zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['state']) : FALSE;

line 307, change as shown:

  $state = ($flag_show_pulldown_states && $state != FALSE) ? $state : $zone_name;

Thanks so much for your reply. Was taking me forever to work out. Still not familiar enough with Zen Cart and PHP I guess. Probably would have got there eventually but I certainly appreciate your prompt response! Owe you a cup of coffee.

I'll try out your solution and will only post again here if I encounter any further problems with this particular issue. Thanks again.

I'm a bit confused, changes are required in 3 places ?

3 places on 2 line of code , if you look at the code DrByte has mentioned you will see the changes are in Red and there are 3 of them within 2 line

Doh!
thanks, yes, completely obvious, sometimes you look but you just don't see
