Capitalise Coupon Code?

[george]

What are you trying to do with USA?

End up with USA, not Usa.

And even make a usa into USA.

[Kermy]

Use

format(this,'upper')

to force upper case on the country field. Of course, you'll end up with 'UNITED KINGDOM' when someone enters 'United Kingdom'...

I guess I could create another section which allowed you to specify rules for certain words, but it is getting rather complicated

Guess you are staying away from the Welsh version

Is it possible to use the card number action on the 'Secured Mode For Card Information' page? This is Act_Order03.html, which doesn't have an <input type.... line - it has <Param .... PROMPT002>

I have inserted the code in the relevant place in Order02:

<input type="TEXT" name="PAYMENTCARDNUMBER" size="20" maxlength="50" value="NETQUOTEVAR:PAYMENTCARDNUMBER" AUTOCOMPLETE="off" onblur="format(this,'cc')" >

but is having no effect on the next page. Does it need to be placed somewhere different?

(Everything else is perfect, many thanks Graham!)

Graham - if you are feeling benevolent/bored/up to a challenge - hyphenated Mc's ignoring the 2nd part of the double barrel eg: McTaggart-Hamish

Start something free and you open Pandora's box

Not fully fully tested this but I think it also needs to include any hyphenated words - Sarah-Jane becomes Sarah-jane, etc., and also IOW (for Isle of Wight) (& IOM) don't always go in the capitalised COUNTRY field & become Iow, Iom.

[jont]

Paul - it currently ignores the second part of the Double-barrel ... I slipped the "Mc" in there as well just to add to Grahams challenge

[Kermy]

Hyphenated names now catered for, and have changed the exclude list a little. 'usa' becomes 'USA', but 'susan' becomes 'Susan'. You can add other phrases such as 'IOW', 'IOM' etc by including them in the exclude list.

[Paul Bulpit]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH GRAHAM!

Probably not exhaustive, perhaps members can add to the list of placenames:

exclude=['Macclesfield','USA','UAE','Macduff','Macharioch','Machen','Machrie',
'Machriranish','Machrins','Machynlleth','Machynys','Mackworth','Macmerry',
'IOW','IOM']

These Mac's are placenames from the index of my GB Road Map. The only thing that occurs to me, now that Graham has put 'exclude' at the start of the script, is, will we be more likely to receive an order from somebody called 'MacDuff' than someone who lives in, Macduff?

Time will tell!

[Kermy]

Just one more minor point. Its unlikely, but if any words in the exclude list contain single quotes, you must escape them with a backslash like this:

exclude=['O\'Reilly']

to add O'Reilly to the list.

That must be it for now....

[george]

Had a few from the place, but never with that name.


My own surname (Mackie), shouldn't have a capital K so that made my exclude list.


I'd imagine the forum member that sells tartan's will be busy with the exclude list if he applies this tweak to his 'site, lol.

[Paul Bulpit]

I'm sorry to mention this Graham, but we now need to fix full stops!

As in Mr.A.R.Smith becomes Mr.a.r.smith (though I think it's OK if Mr Smith puts grammatically correct spaces after the full stop - Mr. A. R. Smith).

Sorry to mention my earlier post #64 but how can this be applied to Act_Order03.html - this is the page that accepts card details in Actinic Secured Mode.

Thanks.

[george]

I think this would take the customer grammar variations too far, some use full stops, some just go Mr AR Smith which becomes Mr Ar Smith, throw in the `dot` variable and it becomes a lot of possibilites. I do think however, as the changes can be seen when you move onto the address line, that customers generally* would correct these errors.



*Although some do forget their house numbers, get the email wrong, etc, so a capital out of place maybe isnt their biggest priority. (lol)

[Paul Bulpit]

I take your point George & the other thing I'm encountering now is the people who don't have javascript enabled, so it has no effect at all.

But I had a quick look at Jan's OSOP and note that that has an action to correct names & addresses not for just one order but across whole blocks of them - so the possibility does exist, we're just asking Graham to fix it for free, for the benefit of the community - I do think that everyone who uses it ought to send him something for his trouble*.

My problem is that today's school-leavers (even my 21 year old) see "Mrarsmith" so that's what they type into Smartstamp......




I have a feeling this thread may be finished, so here's the search term for others to find it:

How to format customer names & addresses in incoming orders correcting uppercase, lowercase & postcodes. User input formatting.

And here's the link to Graham's fix:

*(I intend to contact him in the New Year with a couple of jobs).

'Machriranish','Machrins','Machynlleth','Machynys','Mackworth','Macmerry',

Update: add Macon (Georgia, USA) - had an order today from MacOn!
