Hello All,
 
I have a list of UK Counties available if anyone would like to make use of them.
 
I have the .zip file containing a .csv & .sql version on my support site. (That way I will be able to keep it updated if any errors are found or improvements made.
 
Here is the link...
http://www.dsl24-7.net/support/index.php?action=file_library
 
The file makes a number of assumptions as follows:
UK = Country ID 77
Ireland = Country ID 102
Northern Ireland = Country ID 248
Show for user is set to ON
You may also want or need to edit the "state_id" & "state_code" to suit your own database.
 
To use this file I deleted all the default US States - renamed all States labels to County / Counties, then imported the csv file into the va_states table through phpMyAdmin.
 
This file wil be useful for anyone who only sells to the UK and Ireland. With some work it may help others who just need to add UK Counties to an existing installation.
 
Enjoy!
Regards

Hi David,
 
do I need login details to download the file.
 
Regards

No, it's an open download, just click the link in the ViArt Section. Please post back and let us all know if the file is of any help.

Has this file been of any use to anyone?
 
Feedback welcome.
 
Regards,
David.

David,
Yes it has and thank you very much. I'm looking at importing it in our next site revision.
 
Has ViArt made any noises about a general revision to accomodate sub-country areas as this would be useful?

have done the above country mods does anyone know which files contain the information to rename all the States labels State to County

Hi picstart,
 
It's actually the language file /messages/en/admin_messages.php
You will find other language files in the same folder.
 
But you can actually edit all these from the admin control panel anyway.
 
YOURDOMAIN.co.uk/admin/admin_messages.php?language_code=en&message_search=state
 
Do NOT change the CONSTANT only edit the MESSAGE part. you can search for the field label ie. state and it makes it very easy to edit the required label.
 
Regards
David.

Thats magic, could,nt find it with dreamweaver, was just starting to look for {STATE_FIELD} only thing i could find, thought it might be in a table then checked forum and saw your reply would never have looked in messages but will now i have had a good look in there , theres allsorts that can be changed.
