How to deny PO BOX?

[nrg77]

We currently do not ship to any PO BOX and I was wondering if there is a way to give customers a message if they type in a PO BOX for the shipping address.

Thanks.

You would need to customize the code to reject:
PO Box
P.O. Box
etc.

This is not built into Zen Cart at this time ...

Yeah I realize it needs to be custom but was hoping someone out there has already done this....

Would you happen to know what file/files I would need to change in order to implement this?

There are several areas of verification for addresses for login, create_account, edit addresses, change address during checkout ...

A search in the Developers Tool Kit in the bottom input box can help you locate all references to:
street_address

This will help you locate what files are actually used for verification ...

Another thing you can do is find the Add-on for Upper Case Addresses ... this has to touch these same files and could give you an idea of what files are being touched ...

Thank you so much.....

I looked into it but did not dare change anything...

Has anyone already done something similar to this?

Thanks..
