- - zip code check (https://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=21478)

Hi,
Im looking at check_zipcode_js.tpl and havent got a clue how to do this.

What I need is to change the default 5 digit code check to a between 5 and 9 digit check (no more 9 digits)

this is the code below

Code:

{* $Id: check_zipcode_js.tpl,v 1.2.2.2 2004/09/15 12:01:47 max Exp $ *}

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript 1.2">

var us_zip_code = '{$lng.txt_error_us_zip_code|replace:"'":"\'"}';

var ca_zip_code = '{$lng.txt_error_ca_zip_code|replace:"'":"\'"}';

{literal}

function check_zip_code_field(cnt, zip){

var alert_str;

        if(!cnt || !zip)

                return true;

        alert_str = '';

        if (cnt.options[cnt.selectedIndex].value=="US") {

                if (zip.value.length!=5 && zip.value!="")

                        alert_str = us_zip_code;

        } else if (cnt.value=="CA") {

                if (zip.value.length!=6 && zip.value.length!=7 && zip.value!="")

                        alert_str = ca_zip_code;

        }



        if(alert_str.length > 0) {

                alert(alert_str);

                zip.focus();

                return false;

        } else 

                return true

}

function check_zip_code(){

        return check_zip_code_field(document.forms["registerform"].b_country, document.forms["registerform"].b_zipcode) && check_zip_code_field(document.forms["registerform"].s_country, document.forms["registerform"].s_zipcode); 

}

{/literal}

</SCRIPT>

I don't want to remove the check as is suggested in other posts, just extend it so that US and Canadian have to be between 5 - 9 digits.

Any ideas?

Try this one:

Code:

{* $Id: check_zipcode_js.tpl,v 1.2.2.2 2004/09/15 12:01:47 max Exp $ *}

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript 1.2">

var us_zip_code = '{$lng.txt_error_us_zip_code|replace:"'":"\'"}';

var ca_zip_code = '{$lng.txt_error_ca_zip_code|replace:"'":"\'"}';

{literal}

function check_zip_code_field(cnt, zip){

var alert_str;

   if(!cnt || !zip)

      return true;

   alert_str = '';

   if (cnt.options[cnt.selectedIndex].value=="US") {

      if (zip.value!="" && !(zip.value.length >=5 || zip.value.length <=9))

         alert_str = us_zip_code;

   } else if (cnt.value=="CA") {

      if (zip.value!="" && !(zip.value.length >=5 || zip.value.length <=9))

         alert_str = ca_zip_code;

   }



   if(alert_str.length > 0) {

      alert(alert_str);

      zip.focus();

      return false;

   } else

      return true

}

function check_zip_code(){

   return check_zip_code_field(document.forms["registerform"].b_country, document.forms["registerform"].b_zipcode) && check_zip_code_field(document.forms["registerform"].s_country, document.forms["registerform"].s_zipcode);

}

{/literal}

</SCRIPT>

Thanks, I was looking for something like this. Worked a treat :D

Didn't work for me im afraid, it allowed users to use even just 1 digit for the zip code.

I would like to take this to even a next step - I just encountered this problem today - not for the first time.

Sometimes my customer get a little over-zealous in filling out their order forms and by way of example, type in Marietta, CA with a zip code of 30062 - well it turns out that the state should have been Georgia, not California. My old e-Commerce software had a checker for this issue - would be nice for XCart to do this...
