State field in forms

[rbarbour]

I pulled the state field from the create_account page:

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
  }
?>

But the hidden field shows up in the form

CODE:

<?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, ' ');
    }
?>

Anyone know why or how to make this field hidden other than the above code?

Is there a reason, you are not just turning of state in admin

Admin --> Configuration --> Customer details -->
State --> set to False

Doing that removes the pull down all together. I just wanna remove the hidden field that shows the info if a different country is selected.

I figured it out, thanks for everyone's help

Can you please share it with us?

I left the state field code in tact and simply moved the country code to the top of the form, where hopefully the country is selected first.

If a country with prescribed states is selected, then the state input box disappears leaving only the state dropdown box.

If a country without prescribed states is selected, then the state dropdown box displays "please type your state below" and the state input box appears below ready for input.

Hope this helps.

I left the state field code in tact and simply moved the country code to the top of the form, where hopefully the country is selected first.

If a country with prescribed states is selected, then the state dropdown box appears for selected country. If no country is selected the state dropdown box appears & displays "Choose your Country First" and the state input box never appears below ready for input.

The state input box appears for a slit second when page loads but does not give the option to insert input.

This was done because currently I only want to accept United States and Canada Residents or Businesses to register/buy.

Sorry it took so long to correctly reply.

in file includes/modules/pages/WHATEVER_PAGE_YOUR_FORM_IS_ON/jscript_addr_pulldowns.php

find:

  function showStateField(theForm) {
    theForm.state.disabled = true;
    theForm.state.className = 'inputLabel visibleField';
    theForm.state.setAttribute('className', 'visibleField');
    document.getElementById("stateLabel").className = 'inputLabel visibleField';
    document.getElementById("stateLabel").setAttribute('className', 'inputLabel visibleField');
    document.getElementById("stText").className = 'alert visibleField';
    document.getElementById("stText").setAttribute('className', 'alert visibleField');
    document.getElementById("stBreak").className = 'clearBoth visibleField';
    document.getElementById("stBreak").setAttribute('className', 'clearBoth visibleField');
  } 

replace with:

/**
  function showStateField(theForm) {
    theForm.state.disabled = true;
    theForm.state.className = 'inputLabel visibleField';
    theForm.state.setAttribute('className', 'visibleField');
    document.getElementById("stateLabel").className = 'inputLabel visibleField';
    document.getElementById("stateLabel").setAttribute('className', 'inputLabel visibleField');
    document.getElementById("stText").className = 'alert visibleField';
    document.getElementById("stText").setAttribute('className', 'alert visibleField');
    document.getElementById("stBreak").className = 'clearBoth visibleField';
    document.getElementById("stBreak").setAttribute('className', 'clearBoth visibleField');
  }
 */ 

or just change:

    theForm.state.disabled = true; 

to:

    theForm.state.disabled = false; 

that will leave the state input box on page but disable it.

also in file: /includes/languages/english.php

find:

define('TYPE_BELOW', 'Type a choice below ...'); 

change to:

define('TYPE_BELOW', 'Choose your Country First'); 

Hope this helps?
