Customize address information form (SOLVED)

As this is my first post I wanted to say great job on HikaShop

Now, on to my issue...

1. There is no option for USA (United States of America, only USA outlying islands is displayed) on the country drop down for customer registration (Address Information during checkout process)

2. How do I change the default country? I don't live in France.. and most of my customers don't either.

3. How do I customize the form (where is the file?), and the format is wrong for US addresses, as State goes before postal code (and Postal Code is Mandatory)


Thanks in advance

OK, I found out the answers to my questions (above) regarding customization.... very nicely done!

However, United States of America is missing from the list of counties available.... is this from a file somewhere?



Cheers

It seems that the data for Country is pulled from the database, (which does contain an entry for United States of America..) but if that is so why is it not showing up?

The USA country is there by default. If you don't have it in the menu System->Zones, it means that you deleted it.
You say that you see it in the database, so it's likely that you just unpublished it or changed its type.
You should try to edit it via the menu System->Zones and change back its options so that it displays again.

The default country can be changed via the menu Display->Custom fields (same for the other fields).

Hi Nicolas, thanks for the reply

Got it Thanks! I must have altered it when I was trying to figure out the tax zones....

:silly:

Disregard the following

---

However, I did not delete it, or unpublish it. In fact I haven't done much at all, it is a new install... testing it out.

I have added 2 products, some categories and a tax zone

Anyways, am including pic of System > Zones that clearly shows the published state

???

OH! I see it... Type = State!

Now, how did that happen??

Thanks I've got it

Yes, that's the problem. The USA is a state instead of being a country. So it's not displaying in the country dropdown. Just changing it to country will make it display.

And just to clarify for anyone else following .... the default country can be set at:

Display > Custom Fields - address_country



Not readily apparent on first examination, but now that I know where it is it all makes sense.


I continue to be impressed by HikaShop



Now, to figure out how to make the cool minicart and ajax work....
