Move State below Country on registration page

[nigelt74]

Hi all

I want to move the state below the country on the registration page,

Why do I want to do this

The States dropdown box only shows the states from my default country until the Customer selects a different country then States for that country appear

The problem is that Customers hit the State box first and are presented with a list of unknown states which confuses them,

So I want to put Country first then State as I believe this will cut down on any confusion

Thanks in Advance

Yep. Go to includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php

Find these lines of code:

<?php
  if (ACCOUNT_STATE == 'true') {
    if ($flag_show_pulldown_states == true) {
?>
<label class="inputLabel" for="stateZone" id="zoneLabel"><?php echo ENTRY_STATE; ?></label>
<?php
      echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('zone_id', zen_prepare_country_zones_pull_down($selected_country), $zone_id, 'id="stateZone"');
      if (zen_not_null(ENTRY_STATE_TEXT)) echo '&nbsp;<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_STATE_TEXT . '</span>'; 
    }
?>

<?php if ($flag_show_pulldown_states == true) { ?>
<br class="clearBoth" id="stBreak" />
<?php } ?>
<label class="inputLabel" for="state" id="stateLabel"><?php echo $state_field_label; ?></label>
<?php
    echo zen_draw_input_field('state', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_state', '40') . ' id="state"');
    if (zen_not_null(ENTRY_STATE_TEXT)) echo '&nbsp;<span class="alert" id="stText">' . ENTRY_STATE_TEXT . '</span>';
    if ($flag_show_pulldown_states == false) {
      echo zen_draw_hidden_field('zone_id', $zone_name, ' ');
    }
?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php
  }
?>

<label class="inputLabel" for="postcode"><?php echo ENTRY_POST_CODE; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('postcode', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_postcode', '40') . ' id="postcode"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_POST_CODE_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_POST_CODE_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

And move this ENTIRE section down below these lines of code:

<label class="inputLabel" for="country"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_get_country_list('zone_country_id', $selected_country, 'id="country" ' . ($flag_show_pulldown_states == true ? 'onchange="update_zone(this.form);"' : '')) . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</fieldset>

Then, in the second code listed here.....see the

<br class="clearBoth" />

? Delete it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that it works exactly how i want it to

Much appreciated.

Now all i have to do is figure out how to set a default state

Well, you could always just let them type it in by turning off the dropdown list, in Admin>Configuration>Customer Details
