Create Account Problem

[Guest]

When I create an account, there is no box for State.making it impossible to fulfill an order or charge sales tax -- otherwise everything works. Has anyone run into this. I am using an out of the box MS2 with STS. Any suggestions what might be wrong?

 

Also, once this is fixed, I would like postal zone to be entered after the state which is the standard in the US.

thanks.

Hi,

 

In /catalog/create_account.php

 

 38      if (ACCOUNT_STATE == 'true') {
 39        $state = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['state']);
 40        if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['zone_id'])) {
 41          $zone_id = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['zone_id']);
 42        } else {
 43          $zone_id = false;
 44        }
 45      }

 

and I see other references to the constant ACCOUNT_STATE elsewhere in the code. What do you have set for the constant ACCOUNT_STATE ??

Hi Peter,

 

Thanks for getting back to me. I checked the code and it is exactly as you suggested -- I am not sure what you are referring to when you ask, What do you have set for the constant ACCOUNT_STATE ??

 

I will go back and check all my settings. The tax zone is california. If you can look at the code the website is http://mayafairtrade.com/index.php

thanks,

Hi Peter,

 

There was nothing wrong except pilot error. I must have accidentally turned the State off in Customer Details, when changing gender etc.

A couple of hours wasted -but it feels good to be working properly.

Thanks for your help.
