ldavies83 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I'm having problems with the site www.starchsupplies.co.uk, (it is a live store, so dont buy unless you want really crisply ironed shirts :) !) on account creation/Address book editing, I cannot enter the county as London it just returns: "Please select a county from the county pull down menu." In the past, when I've experienced this problem, it has been because of a duplicate record in the zones table, however this isnt the case, no duplicate ID's, Zone Codes, or Zone Names. I've deleted the record and recreated it, still doesnt work, however it only happens (as far as I can see) to London, as any other randomly picked county works. Any idea's? Would it get confused with Londonderry? I dont think so, but I could be wrong.

tlelliott77 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hi I have the same problem as well. There don't seemto be any duplicates in the zones table. Anyone else got any ideas or seent his before? Thanks Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlelliott77 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hi I've changed the name of the county to "Greater London" which I believe is the official county name anyway. It works now but I have no idea why "London" is unacceptable. Regards Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so weird!!! Why LONDON is not able to use, I search through my MYSQL in PHPADMIN and not found any duplication??? Is it the oscommerce somewhere blocking the LONDON word?? :lol: Any one got any idea??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 The code that looks up "states" uses the "like" SQL operator, and looks to see if there are multiple matches. It would not astonish me if it gets upset by two "states" beginning with "London".

ldavies83 Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 I personally agree with stevel's comments, as I found after further investigation that it was clashing with Londonderry in Ireland, I removed 'Londonderry' and this worked fine, perhaps the code should be changed to a '=' instead of 'like'. Not looking at the code at the moment, does anyone have a reason why it is set to like anyway, perhaps a bug that should be addressed?

stevel Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 The code assumes that the user may not type in the "state" exactly the way it shows in the zones database. An alternative is to use my Country-State Selector contribution in conjunction with an appropriate Zones contribution, such as World Zones. That way, if there are zones defined, the user will have to select from a pulldown list and there will be no issue of them typing it in wrong.
