I guess I will just have to make sure to keep a backup of the view-function.php file before any future upgrades. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/creating-a-usa-states-drop-down-in-the-address-field-how#post-6669 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:30:01 +0000 yuniar 6669@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Unfortunately, it won't be possible to do that using only the hook file. You still need to modify your "view-functions.php" file.</p> <p>The hook file is only being used to customize reCAPTCHA themes. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/creating-a-usa-states-drop-down-in-the-address-field-how#post-6663 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:51:52 +0000 awarner20 6663@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I found only one post referencing how to do this. It's <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/address-label-changes?replies=2#post-5032">here.</a></p> <p>The post says to edit view-function.php and make some extensive changes. I would like to avoid making changes to the core code, and I noticed there was a "custom_hooks.php" file in the "hooks" folder.</p> <p>Is there a way to insert a US States drop down in the address element using a hook instead of core edits?</p> <p>As an aside, it would be a nice feature to allow a custom created state/province/region drop down to be created and chosen by the form creator. </p>
