I think most people know the postal codes by now, and it would certainly save room in the form where you could place city, state, and zip on the same line.

Looking forward to this functionality being incorporated into the core.

I created a custom programing plugin and added this to it which will convert the long name to short name before it is posted/emailed. <pre><code>[php] <?php /* Plugin Name: Custom Programming Plugin URI: <a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/</a> Description: Plugin for altering gForms state data Author: Matthew Connerton Version: 1.0 Author URI: <a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/</a> */ add_action("gform_pre_submission", "pre_submission_state_handler"); function pre_submission_state_handler($form_meta){ foreach($form_meta["fields"] as $field){ if($field['type'] == "address"){ foreach($field["inputs"] as $input){ if($input['label'] == "State / Province"){ $value = $_POST["input_" . str_replace('.', '_', $input["id"])]; $_POST["input_" . str_replace('.', '_', $input["id"])] = shortenState($value); } } } } } function shortenState($state){ if(strlen($state) == 2){ $newState = $state; }else{ $state = ucwords(strtolower($state)); switch($state){ case "District of Columbia": $newState = "DC"; break; case "Alaska": $newState = "AK"; break; case "Alabama": $newState = "AL"; break; case "Arkansas": $newState = "AR"; break; case "Arizona": $newState = "AZ"; break; case "California": $newState = "CA"; break; case "Colorado": $newState = "CO"; break; case "Connecticut": $newState = "CT"; break; case "Delaware": $newState = "DE"; break; case "Florida": $newState = "FL"; break; case "Georgia": $newState = "GA"; break; case "Hawaii": $newState = "HI"; break; case "Iowa": $newState = "IA"; break; case "Idaho": $newState = "ID"; break; case "Illinois": $newState = "IL"; break; case "Indiana": $newState = "IN"; break; case "Kansas": $newState = "KS"; break; case "Kentucky": $newState = "KY"; break; case "Louisiana": $newState = "LA"; break; case "Massachusetts": $newState = "MA"; break; case "Maryland": $newState = "MD"; break; case "Maine": $newState = "ME"; break; case "Michigan": $newState = "MI"; break; case "Minnesota": $newState = "MN"; break; case "Missouri": $newState = "MO"; break; case "Mississippi": $newState = "MS"; break; case "Montana": $newState = "MT"; break; case "North Carolina": $newState = "NC"; break; case "North Dakota": $newState = "ND"; break; case "Nebraska": $newState = "NE"; break; case "New Hampshire": $newState = "NH"; break; case "New Jersey": $newState = "NJ"; break; case "New Mexico": $newState = "NM"; break; case "Nevada": $newState = "NV"; break; case "New York": $newState = "NY"; break; case "Ohio": $newState = "OH"; break; case "Oklahoma": $newState = "OK"; break; case "Oregon": $newState = "OR"; break; case "Pennsylvania": $newState = "PA"; break; case "Rhode Island": $newState = "RI"; break; case "South Carolina": $newState = "SC"; break; case "South Dakota": $newState = "SD"; break; case "Tennessee": $newState = "TN"; break; case "Texas": $newState = "TX"; break; case "Utah": $newState = "UT"; break; case "Virginia": $newState = "VA"; break; case "Vermont": $newState = "VT"; break; case "Washington": $newState = "WA"; break; case "Wisconsin": $newState = "WI"; break; case "West Virginia": $newState = "WV"; break; case "Wyoming": $newState = "WY"; break; } } return $newState; } ?></code></pre> Web Business Freedom on "Abbreviate City Fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/abbreviate-city-fields#post-4365 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:41:46 +0000 Web Business Freedom 4365@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I just used gform_pre_submission to find the address field and convert the long name to a short name and assign it to the post data before it is saved and is working good.

Carl Hancock on "Abbreviate City Fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/abbreviate-city-fields#post-4360 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:31:41 +0000 Carl Hancock 4360@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Right now there isn't a hook for this specific change. But it is something we will look at adding in the next release if we can work it in. So keep track of this change if you go ahead and make it. Down the road we do plan on implementing the ability to select an option to use abbreviations for the value. This will be implemented when we implement the ability to have control over both the value and label for drop downs, check boxes, and radio buttons.

Is there a hook or something else we can use to modify the submitted data instead of hacking the plugin? brianyerkes on "Abbreviate City Fields" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/abbreviate-city-fields#post-3474 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:59:29 +0000 brianyerkes 3474@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Great stuff, worked perfectly!

Oops....I guess that was the Irishman living in America talking for a minute! Newport, awesome, I'm going to try that now. Thanks very much!
