is it possible to have the entire state name (eg: Alabama) stored in the database instead of the 2 letter abbreviation (AL)? when a user uses the registration form, the drop-down menu that contains all of the states lists them with their full state name, but the state is then stored in the database with the 2 letter abbreviation. if so, how do i go about making that happen? thanks in advance!
Everything is possible, but it would be better to describe WHY you need this. Then we could offer better help.
well, i have a drop-down menu on another page that references that table in the database and i would like it to display the full state names in the drop down menu instead of the 2 letter abbreviation for the states. thanks!
you can add this translation into your PHP code. Array of correspondence between short and long state names located in bottom of amember/common.inc.php file.
ok, so in the common.inc.php file, do i change this line (for example): "AL" => "Alabama", to this: "Alabama" => "Alabama", is that it? do i need to change anything in the database table?
Hi Alex Is there a way to fix it in amember v4 ? I have (Australian) states with a prefix "AU-" which I need to get rid of. The reason we need AU- removed is that we use aMember's database for sending magazines to subscribers, and removing AU- after db export is one less step we would like to live without.
