phireuk Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 The UK counties in blesta are not correct. Blesta has used an incomplete mix of some Counties and some local councils in the "State / Province" address field. For example. I Live in Sheffield. The county is South Yorkshire (not listed in Blesta) (blesta lists the city council (sheffield)) London is the worst example, The county of London is not on the list either, and London appears to have been divided into political local borough council seats. For example Lambeth, Barking and Dagenham, Hackney. Additionally the list is not even complete, it has some counties, some boroughs and countries too (England). Dividing London for example into Lambeth, Barking and Dagenham, Hackney is fine but messy I guess (Address line 2 would normally be the correct place for Lambeth.), but if it's going to be done the way it is currently, where is Chelsea, Kensington & Finsbury? London falls into; KentEssex MiddlesexHertfordshireSurrey London (County) which includes "City of London" (Which is not actually London the city, it's very small area inside London) Dividing the UK into political local boroughs instead of counties, is not ideal, as there will be plenty of people that don't even know what local council they fall under. I understand a degree of local knowledge is needed, and If you guys are from the states the data is taken form elsewhere.. And even if you are from the UK it's confusing. It gets more confusing though, because some areas are Special postal towns. These are places that don't need a county (but you can add one if you wish). London, Sheffield & Bristol are all examples of special postal towns. For example, these are places that a letter will get delivered to whether the county is present on an envelope or not. EG 1 Station Road Sheffield S1 1SS is the same as 1 Station Road Sheffield South Yorkshire S1 1SS But in Blesta, the only way to write the address is 1 Station Road Sheffield Sheffield S1 1SS which will produce the address 1 Station Road Sheffield SHF S1 1SS The only way to sort this for the UK is to add the correct list of counties remove the 3 letter province code, and display the full name here (South Yorkshire), Optional (rename Zip code to Postcode) Optional (rename state / province to county) Optional but not advised (make county (state / province) field optional for customers) Provided these 2 rules are followed, Blesta can then store correct UK addresses in 95% of cases, and the other 5% will have a duplicate line eg (London in London) It's important from my perspective, because in many cases it's not possible for a customer to add the correct address to their profile. Hopefully it's possible to manually edit the info. But for those that are interested here is the correct list of UK counties.
