US - Postal Code Format (NNNNN)

[sampsonzak]

Hi all,

 

I've got some customers who provide their USA zip codes in NNNNN-NNNN, and so I have had to disable zip code validating for the US.

 

But there must be a better way, but I cannot find it / find out how.

 

Is it possible, to enable USA zip codes to be formatted, like below for example:

 

NNNNN**********

 

N = Essential & Required
* = Optional. Unchecked / unvalidated.

 

So the 5 numbers are essential, and it also allows an extra ~5 of any character to be added, without saying invalid ZIP code for those users who only provide me with the 5x number ZIP, and to also allow the other customers who provide the 9x ZIP code?

 

How can I enable this? To allow my US zip codes to be more than 5 numbers without PS saying it's invalid to my customers?

 

Thank you

Hi,

 

Thank you but this doesn't work. This would limit the zip code to NNNNN.

 

I don't want it limited to NNNNN, I want it to be NNNNN required, but also to allow NNNNN******

 

* = wildcard, allowing numbers/text after this. 

 

But I don't know the symbol for wildcard, I have tried *** and it gives an error and does not let me save.

 

e.g., I want the below to happen if submitted:

 

0000 = FAIL. not 5x numbers
00000 = SUCCESS. 5x numbers
00000-0000 = SUCCEED. 5x numbers & optional numbers

 

Hope this makes sense. Thank you

Hello @sampsonzak

 

As per your reply, we made some changes so please follow the steps below:

• Go to {{project_root_directory}}/override/classes and create a new file called Country.php and paste the following code in that file:
   

  <?php
  class Country extends CountryCore
  {
      public static $definition = [
          'table' => 'country',
          'primary' => 'id_country',
          'multilang' => true,
          'fields' => [
              'id_zone' => ['type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedId', 'required' => true],
              'id_currency' => ['type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedId'],
              'call_prefix' => ['type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isInt'],
              'iso_code' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isLanguageIsoCode', 'required' => true, 'size' => 3],
              'active' => ['type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool'],
              'contains_states' => ['type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'required' => true],
              'need_identification_number' => ['type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'required' => true],
              'need_zip_code' => ['type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool'],
              'zip_code_format' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING],
              'display_tax_label' => ['type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'required' => true],
              /* Lang fields */
              'name' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 64],
          ],
          'associations' => [
              'zone' => ['type' => self::HAS_ONE],
              'currency' => ['type' => self::HAS_ONE],
          ],
      ];
      public function checkZipCode($zipCode)
      {
          if (empty($this->zip_code_format)) {
              return true;
          }
          $zipRegexp = '/^' . $this->zip_code_format . '$/ui';
          $zipRegexp = str_replace('N', '[0-9]', $zipRegexp);
          $zipRegexp = str_replace('L', '[a-zA-Z]', $zipRegexp);
          $zipRegexp = str_replace('C', $this->iso_code, $zipRegexp);
          $zipRegexp = str_replace('*', '.*', $zipRegexp);
          return (bool) preg_match($zipRegexp, $zipCode);
      }
  }
  ?>

• Goto BO and set the format that type of postal code you need to set: https://prnt.sc/ChJb12c9XfsN

• Then please check on the frontend weather it allows the postal code with the format that you assigned or not:

  For Example, Postal code Format Set in BO (NNNNN******)

  1) 0000 - Not Allowed

  2) 00000 - Allowed

  3) 00000-00000 - Allowed

  Hope this solution working fine for you...!!

  Thanks
