For instance, where I live in Wales I don't have a street name -- my address is just a house name, then the village ('city'), then the postcode/zip. This means it's impossible for me to fill out an address that is required.</p> <p>Am I going to have to build my own address fields manually, or is there a clever way of doing this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/zip-code-state-optional#post-18826 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:25:16 +0000 sc0ttkclark 18826@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>paulburd - exactly why I'm having to go through the additional effort. Some countries don't have states or provinces and/or postal codes </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/zip-code-state-optional#post-18825 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:24:11 +0000 paulburd 18825@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm curious about this too. Ideally it would be nice if GF was smart enough to make those fields required or not-required based on the country that was selected. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/zip-code-state-optional#post-17238 Sat, 29 Jan 2011 13:38:05 +0000 sc0ttkclark 17238@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In an international form I'm building, the State / Province / Region field and Zip Code field are both optional in certain countries. If I mark an address group as required, is it possible to override the requirement for State / Zip via PHP (still passing a blank, but allowing it past the normal GF validation)?</p> <p>I think it might actually be related to the code I've been working with lately, the gform_validation filter, in which I need to check the is_valid value if it's false, and then check in the form&gt;&gt;fields&gt;&gt;field_id array if there's a failed validation / validation message set and override it if it's not a certain country. Figured I'd put my trek here in case anyone else comes across the same need. </p>
