How do you make county/state/province entry not required?

[lynnimak]

I have found out how to change the county/state/province entry from a drop down box to a textbox from previous postings. I also want to make this field not required and have changed the 'required' field from 1 to 0 under khxc_formfields for gbu0accountmaint.stateprov, gbu0createaccount.stateprov etc. However an entry into this field still seems to be required when a customer creates or maintains their account. You cannot progress to checkout if this field is left blank and there is no message for the the customer to explain why.

Please could someone let me know if there is something else I need to change somewhere?
Many thanks

Hi Lynn,
This is hardcode in the checkout code to assume it is required.
In the code khxc-private\apps\gbu0\GBU_Checkout
Look for

Code: Select all

if (empty($address['stateprov']))  {$reqok = 0;}

remove that code.
