Save US State as a initials in database instead of full name

Hello, I Intergrated the zencart database with our Fedex and UPS software, but they can only match state with initials in it (NY, CA, etc..), but zencart saves the entire name of the state (New York, California, etc..), is there a place I can change it?

thanks

Can't you map to the zone_code in the zones table?

it doesn't work like this, it wants to have this info in delevery_state field

You would have to customize the orders class to use a different field for the state ...

Open the order.php class file and do a search on: state

and you can see how it is currently being applied and if you look for where you can change it to the countries_iso_code_2 instead ...

would you be so kind and tell me if that is correct change for it?

iso_code_2' => $shipping_address->fields['countries_iso_code_2'],

to

iso_code_2' => $shipping_address->fields['countries_name'],

You need to add the zone_code on the select for shipping:

    $shipping_address_query = "select ab.entry_firstname, ab.entry_lastname, ab.entry_company,
                                    ab.entry_street_address, ab.entry_suburb, ab.entry_postcode,
                                    ab.entry_city, ab.entry_zone_id, z.zone_name, ab.entry_country_id,
                                    c.countries_id, c.countries_name, c.countries_iso_code_2,
                                    c.countries_iso_code_3, c.address_format_id, ab.entry_state[B],
                                    z.zone_code[/B]
                                   from " . TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK . " ab
                                   left join " . TABLE_ZONES . " z on (ab.entry_zone_id = z.zone_id)
                                   left join " . TABLE_COUNTRIES . " c on (ab.entry_country_id = c.countries_id)
                                   where ab.customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'
                                   and ab.address_book_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['sendto'] . "'";

The you can try to use it on the build of the delivery:

    $this->delivery = array('firstname' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_firstname'],
                            'lastname' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_lastname'],
                            'company' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_company'],
                            'street_address' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_street_address'],
                            'suburb' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_suburb'],
                            'city' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_city'],
                            'postcode' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_postcode'],
                            [B]'state' => ((zen_not_null($shipping_address->fields['zone_code'])) ? $shipping_address->fields['zone_code'] : $shipping_address->fields['zone_name']),[/B]
                            'zone_id' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_zone_id'],
                            'country' => array('id' => $shipping_address->fields['countries_id'], 'title' => $shipping_address->fields['countries_name'], 'iso_code_2' => $shipping_address->fields['countries_iso_code_2'], 'iso_code_3' => $shipping_address->fields['countries_iso_code_3']),
                            'country_id' => $shipping_address->fields['entry_country_id'],
                            'format_id' => (int)$shipping_address->fields['address_format_id']);

And test if this can work for you ...

I have not tested it on everything so you really want to test this change ...

It worked, thank you very much. :)

Glad that worked for you ... be sure you do numerous tests to make sure it doesn't cause issues on other countries ...
