International State Field Limitation

Please give me the code and/or settings required to increase the maxlength of the state field on an authorize.net payment form. It forces it to only 2 characters, and some international states/regions have more than 2 characters.

Thanks,

Jeffry

Jeffry,

You can change the maxlength of that field by editing the Pro-Form template for Authroize.net Checkouts: wp-content/plugins/s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/authnet-checkout-form.php. Search for “state” then you’ll find the code that creates that field. You can change the maxlength there.

I already did that. But I want a solution that will survive the next s2member update.

Please help.

You should be able to copy that modified file to wp-content/mu-plugins/ and it will automatically overwrite the one provided by s2Member. That will survive upgrades.

Doing that added the form to the top of the home page (and I assume, every other page, but I didn’t check).

Apologies for the confusion, Jeffry. I was mistaken about how this worked.

If you want to modify one of the templates, simply copy the modified template to your theme directory and then in your Pro-Form shortcode, add template=”modified-template-filename.php”.

So for example, you could simply copy wp-content/plugins/s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/authnet-checkout-form.php to your theme directory, modify it, and then add template=”authnet-checkout-form.php” to the Pro-Form shortcode. That would tell s2Member to use your modified template when generating the form.

I’m sorry to be a thorn in your side, but I tried this, and it’s not working. The checkout form still pulls the original template from the s2member files.

Thanks,

Jeffry

Jeffry, what directory did you copy the template file to? It should be wp-content or the directory of the theme you’re using (not a child one, and not the themes directory either).

Jason Caldwell said:

Pro Form templates can appear in the following locations represented by WordPress PHP Constants.

[hilite code]TEMPLATEPATH[/hilite]
[hilite code]WP_CONTENT_DIR[/hilite]

If a template exists in both locations, the template inside [hilite mono]WP_CONTENT_DIR[/hilite] will be used, as it has the highest precedence.

Example: /wp-content/themes/my-theme/paypal-checkout-form.php
Example: /wp-content/paypal-checkout-form.php

I hope it helps.
