I'm not give attention for state drop down value when click "back" button in review page. You can try to replace this code (from my previous post)</p> <pre><code>$state_markup = ''; foreach ($state as $data) { $state_markup .= '<option value="' . $data['value'] . '">' . $data['label'] . '</option>'."\n"; }</code></pre> <p>with this one</p> <pre><code>$state_markup = ''; foreach ($state as $data){ if($data['value'] == $element->default_value){ $selected = 'selected="selected"'; }else{ $selected = ''; } //check for populated value, use it instead of default value if(!empty($element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_4']['default_value'])){ $selected = ''; if($element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_4']['default_value'] == $data['value']){ $selected = 'selected="selected"'; } } $state_markup .= "<option value=\"{$data['value']}\" {$selected}>{$data['label']}</option>\n"; }</code></pre> nilsmierzynski on "How can I CHANGE the ADDRESS PRESET to customize it for GERMANY?" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-change-the-address-preset-to-customize-it-for-germany#post-3813 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 22:09:29 +0000 nilsmierzynski 3813@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hey redityo!</p> <p>No problem... works perfectly so far, BUT:</p> <p>I do not know how you guys realize the validation...<br /> I added an additional blank option to have a "unselected" status.</p> <p>How did you realize this with country drop-dow for example?<br /> How is it done to check if a state is selected?<br /> Here is the link: <a href="http://www.h" rel="nofollow">http://www.h</a> o e f f n e r.de/kontakt/<br /> Please delete the spacings after www ;-)</p> <p>The problem is that the selected value of the drop-down<br /> is not submitted (anymore) so the drop-down selection is<br /> gone after click on SUBMIT-Button with preview page.</p> <p>I think it is just a small variable update for the new<br /> state input field type...</p> <p>Thank you.<br /> Nils </p> redityo on "How can I CHANGE the ADDRESS PRESET to customize it for GERMANY?" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-change-the-address-preset-to-customize-it-for-germany#post-3806 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 11:07:39 +0000 redityo 3806@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Nils,</p> <p>You will modify a bunch of code :) try to follow these steps</p> <p>1. Edit "includes/view-functions.php" and go to line 1352. Put these code exactly below <strong>$country[193]['value'] = "Zimbabwe";</strong></p> <pre><code>$state[0]['label'] = "State 1"; $state[1]['label'] = "State 2"; $state[2]['label'] = "State 3"; $state[0]['value'] = "State 1"; $state[1]['value'] = "State 2"; $state[2]['value'] = "State 3"; $state_markup = ''; foreach ($state as $data) { $state_markup .= '<option value="' . $data['value'] . '">' . $data['label'] . '</option>'."\n"; }</code></pre> <p>in first step you should set the value for "state drop down", I'm assuming you've 3 state in drop down. To add more state you should make a pair of array like this way</p> <pre><code>$state[4]['label'] = "State 4"; $state[4]['value'] = "State 4";</code></pre> <p>2. Go to around line 1418 ~ 1457, you'll find these code </p> <pre><code>$element_markup = <<<EOT <li id="li_{$element->id}" {$error_class}> <label class="description">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_1"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text large" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$lang['address_street']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_2"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text large" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$lang['address_street2']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_3" class="left"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text medium" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$lang['address_city']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_4" class="right"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_4" name="element_{$element->id}_4" class="element text medium" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_4']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_4">{$lang['address_state']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_5" class="left"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_5" name="element_{$element->id}_5" class="element text medium" maxlength="15" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_5']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_5">{$lang['address_zip']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_6" class="right"> <select class="element select medium" id="element_{$element->id}_6" name="element_{$element->id}_6"> {$country_markup} </select> <label for="element_{$element->id}_6">{$lang['address_country']}</label> </div>&nbsp;{$guidelines} {$error_message} </li> EOT;</code></pre> <p>replace with these code</p> <pre><code>$element_markup = <<<EOT <li id="li_{$element->id}" {$error_class}> <label class="description">{$element->title} {$span_required}</label> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_1"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text large" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$lang['address_street']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_2"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text large" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$lang['address_street2']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_5" class="left"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_5" name="element_{$element->id}_5" class="element text medium" maxlength="15" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_5']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_5">{$lang['address_zip']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_3" class="right"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text medium" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$lang['address_city']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_4" class="left"> <select class="element select medium" id="element_{$element->id}_4" name="element_{$element->id}_4"> {$state_markup} </select> <label for="element_{$element->id}_4">{$lang['address_state']}</label> </div> <div id="li_{$element->id}_div_6" class="right"> <select class="element select medium" id="element_{$element->id}_6" name="element_{$element->id}_6"> {$country_markup} </select> <label for="element_{$element->id}_6">{$lang['address_country']}</label> </div>&nbsp;{$guidelines} {$error_message} </li> EOT;</code></pre> <p>I hope you are not confuse with those code </p> nilsmierzynski on "How can I CHANGE the ADDRESS PRESET to customize it for GERMANY?" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-change-the-address-preset-to-customize-it-for-germany#post-3802 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 03:13:56 +0000 nilsmierzynski 3802@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Yes!<br /> That would be one step better than now!</p> <p>How can I do it?<br /> Thank you very much.<br /> Nils </p> yuniar on "How can I CHANGE the ADDRESS PRESET to customize it for GERMANY?" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-change-the-address-preset-to-customize-it-for-germany#post-3797 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:18:21 +0000 yuniar 3797@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hmm..
