I was trying to migrate tax rates from XC4 to XC5 and discovered that I could not create zones that resolve down to city level. The option was just not there on the Zone Page.

I discovered this in Countries.php

PHP Code:

/**
     * Disable city masks field in the interface
     *
     * @return boolean
     */
    protected function isCityMasksEditEnabled()
    {
        return false;
    } 


And I wonder why anyone would code this. As it was protected I could not override it with a custom module so I just decided to override the field.city.tpl in our module.

with this:

PHP Code:

{* vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et: *}

{**
 * Zone: city masks template

 *}

{*<widget class="\XLite\View\FormField\Textarea\Simple" value="{zone.getZoneCities(1)}" label="City masks" rows="5" cols="70" fieldName="zone_cities" help="{t(#Zone city masks help#)}" IF="isCityMasksEditEnabled()" />*}
<widget class="\XLite\View\FormField\Textarea\Simple" value="{zone.getZoneCities(1)}" label="City masks" rows="5" cols="70" fieldName="zone_cities" help="{t(#Zone city masks help#)}" /> 


Removing the 'isCityMasksEditEnabled()' IF statement. At least now I can add cities back to zones.

Does anyone know a better way to re-activate cities in zones?

You can override protected methods in your modules.

Private methods are the thing which you can't override (and that's why there is no private methods in XC5).

Strange - when I overwrote this protected method I got really strange results and my whole Admin interface was whacked.

Here is the excerpt from my php file

PHP Code:

namespace XLite\Module\KR\KRFeatures\View;

abstract class Countries extends \XLite\View\Tabs\ATabs implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
    protected function isCityMasksEditEnabled()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

You need to decorate the \XLite\View\Tabs\Countries class instead of \XLite\View\Tabs\ATabs.

Thanks,
I must have missed that.
