I was browsing through some as I was trying to get a gist of what they did for when I did though, as I'm new to joomla and hikashop. From looking at the contents of that javascript error message it seems it may be from me editting my main page template. I removed the links that allowed you to increase the font size from the header. I'm not certain if it is looking for that component and isn't finding it. I googled how to remove it and deleted Code: $doc->addScript($this->baseurl.'/templates/beez5/javascript/md_stylechanger.js', 'text/javascript', true); from the main page template and no longer have the error message. After doing so it still isn't displaying the dropdown. Thanks for the help.

Then set again your default zone, save. Edit the custom field "address_state" and change it's default value to the desired one of the selected country. And unpublish the zone "france". (if you want to disable it).

Do you mean set it to France again or set it to whatever I want my default zone to be then save? If you mean the second then I set it to United States and saved and it still didn't show. I then went through and set the default zone to France and unpublished just that custom field and the state dropdown still doesn't show. What I'm assuming is happening is that I'm forcing SSL https on checkout and it is attempting to load information from an http url and is considering that content insecure? But I'm assuming that assumption is not correct since it is loading the country drop down from an http url... Well either way I'm still working on getting it sorted out.

The system uses the joomla library to generate the URL for the dropdown retrieval. So it's not an issue in HikaShop. I'm guessing that maybe you configured a live site in your configuration.php and you didn't put https but http in it and so joomla is generating the URL with http for the dropdown. So you shoudl check on that.

I no longer get the error message or warning message about it displaying insecure content when I attempt to show the address modification page but the state dropdown still isn't being displayed. Here is the html. It seems that according to what I have set it is pulling the default address_state. My configuration is this: address_country default zone set to France and is published, address_state default zone set to Ain and is published. Which views affect the address window? I'm assuming address -> address_template, address -> form, and address -> listing? Do you think I went through and just recopied over those files with ones from a fresh hikashop rar it would do anything or be helpful? Code: <tr class="hikashop_address_address_state_line" id="hikashop_address_address_state"> <td class="key"> <label for="address_state">State</label> </td> <td> <span id="data_address_address_state_container"></span><input type="hidden" id="data_address_address_state_default_value" name="data_address_address_state_default_value" value="state_Ain_1306"> <span class="hikashop_field_required">*</span> </td> </tr> You are correct that in my configuration.php I have the 'http' url set but that was because I don't want to force SSL for the entire site which I'm assuming if I were to change it to 'https' it would?

You have server rule (in your apache, thanks to an htaccess I guess) which redirect the user from "yourdomain" to "[ www.yourdomain](http://www.yourdomain)". Problem is that, the configuration specify that the website is on "yourdomain". So, the ajax call is made from "[ www.yourdomain](http://www.yourdomain)" to "yourdomain" and the server redirect the call to "[ www.yourdomain](http://www.yourdomain)" which is kept as a security issue for the browser. You just have to configure the right website url (so with the "www") and the ajax call will work fine. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
