Zone drop down box is empty

[volksman3]

Hi all

 

This is my first post to this forum and I am an oscommerce newbie. I have installed it with no problem and am based in the UK. I cannot work out how to change the zone to a UK zone from the default value of Florida. I have deleted Florida in the hope that it would then give me the option to select another but that did not work and has now left me with the number 18 as my specified zone. Since I installed oscommerce and looked at the drop down list in zone it has always been blank and only about one or two letter wide - is this right?

 

Please help as I am lost without a map!! :'(

 

Cheers

Dude, I got that same problem. Im guessing theres something that needs to be added/modified in admin/includes/configure.php, have a play around. Thats all we can do until someone in the know helps us out here.

 

Good luck.

I aint sure what your talking about if you goto Administration Panel then open Locations/Taxes you will see a list of sub directories click on Zones and you'll see it's a big list, at the bottom there's a button to add new zones.

 

Does that help.

 

Kind Regards,

To Select a different Zone than the default Florida Zone: An Example (using England as new Zone).

 

In Admin:

 

1. go to Locations / Taxes

2. click on Zones

3. Click The New Zone button at the bottom of the page

4. put England as the Zones Name:

5. put En as the Zones Code:

6. select United Kingdom as the Country:

7. go to Configuration

8. click on My Store

9. select Zone from the list in My Store

10. click the Edit button on the right of Zone

11. choose England from the Drop Down Menu

12. Click the Update Button and the zone is changed instantly.

Hi, i've got the very same problem. Installing osCommerce was ok, but in Admin -> Configuration -> MyStore -> Zone is only "Florida" and in the dropbox there are no options. When i tried your guide (as above), step by step, it changed nothing, i still cannot change my zone.

Just follow the above steps. I'm from Malaysia and no Zone for Malaysia in pre-installed. If you manage to follow the above steps, you can add your zone.

Hello tried the above mine too is a blank box! It states (Please remember to update the store zone. ) Well i can't 'cos it's blank and I can't do anything with it. In fact I'm completely baffled. I'm also trying to make my currency GBP but it says I have to do this manually too -so is the default USD and then I put in the exchange rate? as you can tell I'm making a complete hash of this. Oh well only been with it a couple of hours maybe something will click!

not all countries have zones with the stock osc. You can use the world zones contribution

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1792

but keep in mind the zones do not follow the default zones_id so if you have existing customer accounts it may change them to the wrong states.

 

Or get this one here:

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3607

extract the archive and use only the world_zones_sequential.sql. It will update your zones table but maintain the oscommerce default sequence for existing countries with states.
