Another 7.0.2 Checkout Change - State/Province Textbox/List

[derekz]

I noticed that 7.0.2 defaults to a Textbox for the State/Province in the OnePageCheckout. It only shows the drop down if you have a problem with the state. Is there anyway to only show the dropdown.

I had to change this on the onepagecheckout.ascx.cs :

Code: Select all

    private bool _ShowBillToProvinceList = false;

to this:

Code: Select all

    private bool _ShowBillToProvinceList = true;

and this:

Code: Select all

    ProvinceText.Visible = true;
            ProvinceList.Visible = false;
            ProvinceList.Items.Clear();

to this:

Code: Select all

    ProvinceText.Visible = false;
            ProvinceList.Visible = true;
            ProvinceList.Items.Clear();

nevermind... that works for the USA and some countries, but that leaves a blank dropdown box for most foreign countries that don't have a province list. How do we use the dropdown for the states/province in ac 7.0.2????? I need it to default to the dropdown, and display a text box if there isn't a dropdown list available.

any update on this? i would think that the checkout state/province field would be a dropdown instead of an open text field. The shipping calculator's state/province list is a dropdown. i found it odd that the two conflicted.

I also have several clients that are expressing dissatisfaction with the change from a dropdown list to a text box. Has anybody come up with a solution that checks for the existence of a province list before building the dropdown?

In ConLib\OnePageCheckout.ascx.cs, around line 869 there is this code:

Code: Select all

        if (provinces.Count > 0 && (countryChanged || provinceError || showProvinces))

I think you could just change it to this:

Code: Select all

        if (provinces.Count > 0)

A quick test of this seems to work like you want.

Logan,

Thanks for the hint. I had to make one other change. In the else for that if around line 909, I had to change

ProvinceText.Visible = false;
ProvinceList.Visible = true;
ProvinceList.Items.Clear();

to

ProvinceText.Visible = true;
ProvinceList.Visible = false;
ProvinceList.Items.Clear();

will this code work for 7.0.3 as well?

[Logan Rhodehamel]

It should. The line numbers referenced may be slightly different, but one page checkout has not changed significantly.

Has anyone applied this change to the multi page checkout process when there are multiple destinations? It looks like it's similar. For example, for EditBillingAddress, I think you just have to change

Code: Select all

        if (Page.IsPostBack && provinces.Count > 0)

to

Code: Select all

        if (provinces.Count > 0)

and apply mfreeze's change:

ProvinceText.Visible = false;
ProvinceList.Visible = true;
ProvinceList.Items.Clear();

to

ProvinceText.Visible = true;
ProvinceList.Visible = false;
ProvinceList.Items.Clear();

Does that sound correct? I assume this applies to EditBillingAddressPage, EditShippingAddressPage and also EditMyAddressPage.

I was just looking at this for 7.0.4 and it looks like the logic is exactly reversed for when the province count is positive and when it is 0. Also, just below that code whether the billing and shipping province is required is set, but it looks like it is set here -
BillToProvinceRequired.Enabled = BillToProvinceList.Visible;
ShipToProvinceRequired.Enabled = ShipToProvinceList.Visible;

but these don't ever seem to be set. So it seems like it should be -

BillToProvinceRequired.Enabled = ProvinceList.Visible;
ShipToProvinceRequired.Enabled = ProvinceList.Visible;

since those are set just above that code.

I have made that change and now my international customers can checkout without being blocked if they don't have a province.

Can someone please try and help me, with the same problem (which the fixes listed don't seem to fix)

If you just add any item to your basket and then checkout - you go to fill out the fields and the dropdown for state/province is blank and i can't seem to get it to populate

Please help as nobody can continue and buy anything
