Do you have any suggestion on this issue? Regards, B. Signature E-THOS SSII - In Magento we trust Magento - Nice - Cannnes - Monaco - Sophia Antipolis

haijerome Total Posts: 40 Joined: 2010-07-19 Ignore user	Just install this little pretty and cool extension from Dull developed by Mr. Tobias Renger . I don’t recommend any other better solution than this. Cheers Last but not least, after you have installed this extension and get rid of the unwanted customer address fields then kindly give them a good review !!!

Bibins Total Posts: 11 Joined: 2011-01-07 Ignore user	Hi, I’m under 1.5.1 CE and none of the extensions I’ve found (or read about) work for the State / Province field in the backend. Same thing for code modifications. So I was looking for a solution for hours in the code and finaly came up with something (actually the difficult part was only to find the right file to modify). As I didn’t find anything for this field to be not required in the backend but still optionnal, I share what I found that worked for me : Create a new file : app\code\local\Mage\Adminhtml\Block\Customer\Edit\Renderer\Region.php which is a copy / paste of : app\code\core\Mage\Adminhtml\Block\Customer\Edit\Renderer\Region.php Modify the first one (the one you created) on line 58, replace `class="select required-entry''` by `class="select"` . Otherwise, if you want the combo-box to be always empty, and then to be in fact an input text (still not required) : Create a new file : app\code\local\Mage\Adminhtml\Block\Sales\Order\Create\Form\Abstract.php which is a copy / paste of : app\code\core\Mage\Adminhtml\Block\Sales\Order\Create\Form\Abstract.php Comment the line 112 : `'region' => $this->getLayout()->createBlock('adminhtml/customer_edit_renderer_region'),` Cheers

Copy this file: app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/CustomerEdit/Renderer/Region.php To: app/code/local/Mage/Adminhtml/CustomerEdit/Renderer/Region.php And edit the new file. works on 1.5.1 CE `public function render(Varien_Data_Form_Element_Abstract $element) { return $element->getDefaultHtml(); }`

flyhamst Total Posts: 5 Joined: 2007-10-31 Ignore user	this function is implemented in v1.7 CE go to ‘Configuration->General->States Options’ and choose options. This new feature create a conflict with DULL extension : When create a new account, if you select same addresse for shipping, the next step (3) is validated but stay on step 2 instead of going to step 4 (work if you select ‘different address for shipping’)
