Customer registration State field

Hi
I only just noticed that since I upgraded Hikashop, when a customer orders a product and proceeds to checkout and the login/registration page, I am now getting French regions under the State drop down box instead of Australian states. The only zone selected in my shop is Australia and I have made no changes at all other than upgrade Hika. How do I fix this as some customers have stopped ordering thinking my shop is dodgy.

Also, in the admin section of Hika, when I look at customers, the Name and Username fields are not showing - so I wonder if they are being added to the database when a new registration occurs.

While I think of it, my Hikashop says I have Version 2 but how do I know when a newer version is out as under my account where I can download essentials - it doesn't show a version number there at all. I have noticed in the past in the shop admin under upgrade that it says I have the latest version installed but have found that this is not always the case

Hi,

Go in HikaShop > Display > Custom fields, then edit the state field and change the default value.

Have you enabled the registration in the checkout configuration ?

When a newer version is out, you can see that in the Joomla Dashboard. Or follow us on Twitter !

Registration is enabled - has always been. Still doesn't work. Why has it changed all of a sudden - have never had to go to custom fields before to set this.

Under Zones I have Australia as the only checked country. In that country I have sub-zones which are the states.

When I go to custom fields and choose State field, I have zone selected as field type but the default value and the drop down still shows all the French regions. I have Zone set to States.

If I change Zone to countries, it sets the default value to Australia but no states (or sub-zones) appear on the registration page.

I don't use Twitter - can it not be posted on your website or have email alerts sent if there is a new version. I can check the Joomla dashboard which shows me version number but still don't know if there is a newer version to download from your website.

Not sure why but the states for countries are all under Zones mixed in with countries which I had not noticed before. The Australian states were not published so I did this and it is working now. But for some reason the update made Australia and 2 other countries published when only Australia was previously published and I had to unpublish these as well.

It would be good to have everything unpublished as I notice there are many many states for countries that are published and will never need these. There is also no option to do a select all and unpublish - you have to do it individually to each country and state under Zones. Is there another way to do this?
