I have the same error, I have updated to 1.3.6 and get the country drop down error loop.

Interestingly if I change the template it does work, so what does this mean?

That means that you have customized files in your custom template which you haven't upgraded to v1.3.6 code yet.

When upgrading, you do still need to merge upgrades INTO your customized files if you want the benefits offered by the fixes/additions in the new version.

I have the same error - I have rolled back to v 1.3.5 the tpl_create_account file and it does nothing.

Do I have to reinstall all of the modules I had installed in v 1..3.5 - I only upgraded to 1.3.6 2 days ago...

I am loosing alot of business becuase of this error. Please help...

Does it work ok with the Classic template installed?

I had the extra colours templates installed in v 1.3.5 and they were still there after the upgrade. There is no plain classic template - only the colours. I installed a new template made for v 1.3.6 and tried that - didn't work..

I have lost 2 sales today.....:(

thanks

What is the error your getting?

same as the others - must select a valid country from the pulldown box..

ok, if it's not working using the default template, then you need to upgrade to 1.36 (that rolled back page you said above (tpl_create_account), needs to be replaced.. and any others you rolled back.

Test it in admin by selecting the default template (Classic Contemporary Green), if that works, you then need compare all your custom pages with the 1.36 default pages. Use winmerge.

didn't work - can I reload v 1.3.5 back over the top of 1.3.6?

No the problem is with 1.35. You need to get rid of those 1.35 pages, but keep all your custom pages and go over those one by one. Make sure all your custom pages are in custom folders.. you know the ol your_template thing.

Do a full 1.36 install (in some new directory) just to prove it works. Don't add any custom pages.. should only take a few minutes to see.

I thought I'd chime in on this, since I just spent about an hour figuring out what the problem was.

I installed v1.3.6, which worked perfectly. Then I proceeded to create my template, tested it, and it worked perfectly.

Finally, I installed a 'newsletter subscribe' contribution. This has broken the create account process, and I receive the 'must select a country error'. If I switch to classic template, it still works perfectly. The only real difference is the newsletter subscribe contribution.

So, at least in my case, the issue is with that contribution. It doesn't seem to have the updated code in the files it alters for the account creation process.

This is definitely a problem with the Newsletter Subscribe contribution. I've made an updated version of the offending file ( catalog/includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/create_account.php ) that is upgraded to work with 1.3.6. It's too big for the forum, so I'll upload a copy shortly. Let me know if anyone runs into any other issues with this, as I am using it on several sites and would like to be aware of any problems. Thanks!

Tested and works! I've submitted an updated version of the Newsletter Subscription component with the fix added. It is listed as version 2.0.6.

1.3.6 doesn't fix it.

Upgrading the newsletter thing is not working. The originally installed Newsletter thing was 2.0.6.

Copied the create_account.php file from both installs over, that did not work.

Hi cherdons,

Your site doesn't seem to be loading at the moment. Let me know when it is back up and I would be happy to check it out.

It's loading.... I was just on there.

you can also try the long addie: http://www.cherdoninvestments.com/zen-cart-v1.3.0.2-full-fileset/index.php?main_page=

Okay, I was able to get in now. Not sure why I couldn't a few minutes ago. In any event, the problem that you are having doesn't appear to be the Country Dropdown bug that the new version of the newsletter subscribe component was intended to fix. When I tried to sign up, I received this error message:

It looks like there might be a hardcoded include statement in there or something that is causing that issue. If it is any consolation, though, I did receive a subscription confirmation.

I don't get that, and I am refreshing to make sure -- I was also moving the admin folder over again a few minutes ago - wonder if maybe you were trying when I was moving?

I see it now. I would double-check that you changed YOUR_TEMPLATE in the /includes/modules directory to "classic", or that you have overwritten your /includes/modules/create_account.php file with the one from the updated version of the Newsletter Subscribe contribution (v2.0.6).
