Hi,
From: "Scott." <[email protected]>
Hello,
Can someone please help me understand the logic with regards to localization
in Party Manager.
I am using the current trunk as an example and I am entering a customer in
the UK. I enter the address, City and I get to State and the State is not
represented in the list. So I guess my first question is how do I work
around this constraint?
Is there states in the UK ? Or are you referring as counties as if they were states ? Or (most certainly) did I not understand the
question ?
From a usability point of view, most of my customers are in the USA but I do
ship internationally. Would it make sense if a certain country (where I do
the bulk of my business) be chosen as the default. Also, when Country
selection is changed in the dropdown, then State/Province dropdown is
updated and shows only state/provinces for currently selected country? That
way, you would not have to search through all the states/provinces looking
for the correct one?
There is currently an Ajax effort regarding this aspect (and other analogs)
underway...
I also know that by design ofbiz has a constraint that geo should be in db
(Foreign key constraint). Would it make more sense to either remove the
constraint or have the ability to add to the geo table each time we
encountered a new province, etc?
This is may be done using entity maintenance in Webtools. https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/FindGeneric?entityName=Geo (look
for geoTypeId=STATE)
But you are right it would be good to have a tool to do that from the UI without specific knowledege. As we have for instance access
to time periods at
https://localhost:28443/accounting/control/TimePeriods?organizationPartyId=Company
(this was previously accessed from webtools).
However it seems that no contributors had this need for now...
Jacques
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
