Thread: Modifying Shipping/Billing Address Control

Hi everyone,

Trying to figure out how to:

1. Rearrange the ordering of the elements in the address control - for instance, I want to swap "First Name" and "Last Name" so that "Last Name" is before "First Name". I've gone into checkout1.aspx but it looks like it's calling the table from another file but I can't figure out where! Haven't found a solution searching the forum

2. At the moment when you select a country that doesn't have a state it shows "state.countrywithoutstate" - how do I either change this to something friendlier, or ideally how would I remove State as a dropdown box when a country without a states is selected?

Hope someone can shed some light on this, spent a while trying to figure it out!

Thanks!

I think what you maybe after is under Address.aspx in the root folder. But be careful if you change this, and make a backup of the original file.

Regarding the state.countrywithoutstate this sounds like it will be in your String Resources which can be found in Admin and changed to a more appropriate value.

Hey, thanks for the reply...

I've tried to swap around first and last name in Address.aspx.cs but it doesn't do anything:

Code:

                if (ctrlNewAddress != null)
                {
                    anyAddress.CustomerID = ThisCustomer.CustomerID;
                    anyAddress.NickName = ctrlNewAddress.NickName;
                    anyAddress.LastName = ctrlNewAddress.LastName;
                    anyAddress.FirstName = ctrlNewAddress.FirstName;
                    
                    anyAddress.Company = ctrlNewAddress.Company;
                    anyAddress.Address1 = ctrlNewAddress.Address1;
                    anyAddress.Address2 = ctrlNewAddress.Address2;
                    anyAddress.Suite = ctrlNewAddress.Suite;
                    anyAddress.City = ctrlNewAddress.City;
                    anyAddress.State = ctrlNewAddress.State;
                    anyAddress.Zip = ctrlNewAddress.ZipCode;
                    anyAddress.Country = ctrlNewAddress.Country;
                    anyAddress.Phone = ctrlNewAddress.PhoneNumber;
                    anyAddress.ResidenceType = (ResidenceTypes)addressType;

                    anyAddress.InsertDB();

Regarding state.countrywithoutstate... it doesn't exist as a string resource in the admin panel as far as I can see?

There is a string in the strings.en-US.xls string resource spreadsheet called state.countrywithoutstates - note the 's' on the end. Maybe the string resource file hasn't been uploaded properly. Or you could just add it yourself and then reset the cache.

Positioning of the address fields is done in the address control which can be found in ASPDNSFControls\AddressControl.cs - look for the CreateChildControls() method near the bottom of the file.
