State requirement is not working on Create Account, works in Update Address.

[Scubasjl]

Went to make an account for the store as a customer and I picked USA which you need to pick a state of course, but you can pick " - " basically the dash and it will let you continue. But if you go to update your address you can not pick the " - " wondering how I can make create account the same as update your address. Cause currently I have a ton of customers that have no state and very few that do, due to that the states thing on when creating an account.

You are right. I never noticed that before. This is definitely a bug. You should report it to the bug tracker.

Until it is fixed, here is a quick patch I did. Add the following code at line 76 of authentication.php (the line before $errors):

if (!$country = new Country($_POST['id_country']) OR !Validate::isLoadedObject($country))
   die(Tools::displayError());
if (intval($country->contains_states) AND !intval($_POST['id_state']))
   $errors[] = Tools::displayError('this country require a state selection');

Well thanks to dumb customers not picking a state I suppose.

That works great, thanks couldn't find anything in the forum. The default way how it works is to pick the default state and country when creating and account so not sure if thats Prestashops main goal.

i dont think it is the dumb customers. Works fine in Firefox but If IE's security settings are too strict then the State field does not show up.

I do see a great deal due to that when you do pick a country that has states, the states magically appear under the country and many just skip it all together. Though they put in their zip code and address. So I could figure out the state easily, but hey the client didnt want to figure it out all the time so, this fixed work thanks again.

Hi,

I am currently using and testing PrestaShop version 1.2 Alpha. This feature seemingly has been accomodated in that last version.

For example, if you choose your country that contains States that you already defined before, then only that States will be displayed in States selection. Otherwise, if you choose a country which has no States, then the States selection does not show up at all on that form. I really love this feature as I have been waiting for this since I used the version 1.1 for the first time.

The only thing that should be known by PrestaShop Developer Team is: I have just found that when customer edit his/her own address, the selected States always give result: "-" selection, even all States that belongs to his/her country exist in the selection list. It should be the States will be automatically selected to the State that belong to the address' customer properly.

I hope this will be fixed again in the 1.2 Stable version.

Can't wait the the stable version.

Bravo and thanks so much to PrestaShop Developer Team for great work. :-)

Is this issue has been solved?
I'm using the latest version of 1.3.1.1 but still having this problem...
Can somebody help?

[rocky]

I'm pretty sure this was fixed in PrestaShop v1.3.1. Are you using a theme from an earlier version of PrestaShop? If you are, you are missing out on many bug fixes made to the theme. Try changing your theme to the default PrestaShop v1.3.1 theme and see whether the problem still exists.

[Proglamour]

My bad... Yeah its working with default theme...
But i want to use the other theme... still finding the code which line...

Thanks Rocky!
