Hi,

I promised to myself to never ask for help again, unless I was ready to help...but my luck run out!

I was able to find many features and have found many strategies to get some things to work, but...

In the countries List, there's something missing:
An Italian Province (Bolzano) is missing;

A state is missing: (Repubblica di San Marino) and its provinces are missing too

That's quite a problem, because people can't give a proper shipping address!

I will add those and would like to create a file including those updates, to share with other Hikashop useres

thanks for the help

Hi,

I checked the list of Italian provinces ( [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces\_of\_Italy...of\_Italian\_Provinces](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Italy#List_of_Italian_Provinces) ) and Bolzano is actually filled as Alto Adige in HikaShop, which apparently is the Italian name of the South Tyrol ( [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South\_Tyrol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Tyrol) ), while Bolzano is the capital of South Tyrol. Is that wrong ?

San Marino is not an Italian state but its own country ( [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San\_Marino](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marino) ) with its own states ( [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San\_Marino#Administrative\_divisions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marino#Administrative_divisions) ) which you can also find in HikaShop as states of the country San Marino. So it is no listed under the Italian country. I don't see why that should be listed differently, unless you have some compelling reasons ?

Now in any case, you're free to change the countries and states in your HikaShop the way you want via the menu System&gt;Zones.

Thanks for answering quickly even on free days!!

About San Marino...you are right! It was a mistake of the computer I was using! It didn't refresh the field, so when it came up in San Marino, the provinces appeared as France, and I thought it was a mistake (San Marino is really small and mistakes could have appened!)

About BOLZANO, it's different;
Trentino-Alto Adige (aka Sudtirol, or South Tyrol) is just a region, the same as Lombardia, Lazio, Puglia, Toscana and so on;
Bolzano is a city, just like Milano, Napoli, Firenze, and it should be listed as a Province, but doesn't appear in the list.
[ it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province\_d%27Italia](http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_d%27Italia)

Note:
In Italy some provinces happen to have a special status, but they are still provinces of Italy, and must be listed, otherwise people can't properly place an order, because the province would be missing;
The interested regions are

Valle D'Aosta (The only Province is Aosta)

Trentino-Alto Adige {or sudtirol, or south tyrol and so on) (The provinces are Trento and Bolzano)
However, Trento is correctly Listed as a Province in Hikashop!

So, it would be better if we remove "Alto Adige", and add "Bolzano" in it's place.

About "Aosta", it's listed as "Valle D'Aosta", but the latter is a Region, not a Province, so it would be better to change to "Aosta"

Thanks again for your fast help!

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback. We'll do the changes for the next version of HikaShop.
On your end, you'll want to do them via the menu System&gt;Zones where you'll be able to rename "Alto Adige" to "Bolzano" and "Valle d'Aosta" to "Aosta" easily.
