Setting a default for the state.

Is it possible to set the state to default in event booking? Almost all of the users of the site will live in the same city, stat, zip code so having these default to the correct values would be very helpful. At this point everything works but the state.

Hi Mike

At the moment, it is not possible. Since this is not a minor issue, I will work on it to support it next week. This week I am really busy

Tuan,
Did you get a chance to look at this?

Hi Mike

Please submit a support ticket sending us super admin account of your site so that I can edit the code for you to have the state select by default.

I will think more about it before making it as a standard feature in the extension later.

Tuan

Hi,

I have the same problem as Mike... All the members of my client are all in the same "state". It does not seem possible to configure a "default state" in the "costum field". I'm using the 1.6.8 version of Pro Membership.

Can you do something about it?

I was just looking for this option yesterday, and wondering if it was possible seeing as the option exists to select a default country. Please add my support behind the request!

[EDIT Jan 27 2015] -- USE TUAN's SOLUTION IN THE NEXT POST!!! No need to do custom coding/scripting!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Here's how I'm doing it right now for individual registration (kind of a ad hoc, bandage solution, but it works).
Long story short, I have a custom Javascript running (via a module) that loads whenever Event Booking is running. I probably wouldn't have to run the test for State = unselected (document.getElementById("state").selectedIndex==0) and Country = Canada (document.getElementById("country").value=='Canada'), but I am. Why? Just because I'm paranoid

To implement on your site, get the JS running however you want (template include, hard-coded into EventBooking, custom html module that permits javascript (I'm using an addon called Custom HTML Advanced) , etc), change "Canada" to your country, and change selectedIndex = 12 to whatever state you want in your list (count down the state list; the 'Select State' option is selectedIndex=0).


I tried looking through the php code for a quick way to default the "state" to what I wanted, but couldn't make it work easily. Doing it this way means that it is one less change that I have to maintain when the next version of Event Booking releases, too. It'll work as long as the user is running javascript, and if they are not, then they'll just have to -- ACK! -- pick the state themselves.

Hi

The solution is editing the State custom field, set Default Values for the states

Please note that in the latest version, the extension use state full name. So in the default value, instead of writing IL (the state code), you need to write Illinois (the state name)

What a simple solution, Tuan. So much easier than forcing it with external scripting like I was doing.

Yes James. Why needs an extra script while the extension support it already .
