Customer address state field become drop down during edit while i already turn off

[chlow]

hi all,
the Customer address state field become pulldown during edit customer account.
i already turn off the drop down in the configuration, and the original state information is overwritten:

State - Always display as pulldown? false


How can i resolve this issue pls.

version v1.5.5a

This occurs because the applicable country is identified as having zones and therefore entry in the admin screen offers using the pre-identified zones to choose in the state field. If it is desired to not have the dropdown (regardless of the setting for the customer) then modify line 802 of admin/customers.php to read like:
if ($entry_state_has_zones == true && false) {

Or, if want to follow with the setting described provided there are zones identified for the country:
if ($entry_state_has_zones == true && ACCOUNT_STATE_DRAW_INITIAL_DROPDOWN) {

Although, perhaps the "missing" zones should just be added to the zones table?

thanks for the help, admin.

now the pulldown does not appear and state field value remains but it stuck at the State field and cannot save although state field already has a value.

hi admin, the pulldown also appear at the front end page once we click update button. Which php to edit?

Yeah I missed the fact that there is a check for an error just a few lines above. Because the entry to a country doesn't match a zone within the country that has zones, this is considered an error and no further edits are permitted. Need to look further up in the code to remove the assignment of true to $error for that condition.

Thanks admin, i know where to change and already resolve for the admin customer.php. But can you pls point me where to change for the front end page where customer edit page also the same, it is displaying the pulldown.

Looks like may be able to make a similar change in the create_account.php module file. Suggestion is to copy includes/modules/create_account.php to:
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE such that YOUR_TEMPLATE is the foldername that represents your template.

Then search for similar code that was modified on the admin side.

Now realize also that by doing this that it will complicate your ability to apply taxes and various shipping filters to specific areas since they won't be tied to a specific "state" zone. You'll have to rely on the larger "country" group as the basis.

Thanks for the guide, admin. I will see what need to be done. TQVM
