Client/Order State Field not long enough

[brieb]

Some countries use more than a two letter abbreviation for state/province/region. We should increase this to 5 chars

I'm also wondering if we should change the state to an autofill, or drop down list of some sort. Comments or thoughts?

Implemented by [178]. Went with a length of 5, as no other input was given.

Hello,

I am aware you have closed this ticket, however i feel that a length of 5 is still too short, In the UK for example there are many counties that have far longer names, it is quite important to include the full name of the county as we do not abbreviate.

I would propose a limit of 15-20, as there are counties with names like Buckinghamshire,Northamptonshire,West Midlands.

Im not sure what other counties are like for province names.

Regards Jay

We are open to this idea. However, why don't you open a new ticket (like extending from 5 - 15 to 20) so that we can include this one in the upcoming release of 0.7

Also, you can assign the task to yourself, and submit a patch with the necessary changes to extend it to 15 characters. Use [178] as a guide of what/where it needs to changed in order to support this. Hopefully we can get this change in for milestone 0.8

I am using v0.7 but cannot seem to get more than 5 characters. I have used the guide in [178] and everything is set as it should be, even when maxlength="5" changed to 20 in invoices_addedit.php and clients_addedit.php it still wont let me have more than 5 characters.

Any help much appreciated.

If you notice , the change also alters the database in addition to changing the HTML field lengths.

Also the best place to get help is to use the forum.
