Sagepay, Actinic V10 and UK States

[leehack]

I am trying to setup states within the UK for shipping purposes. Initially i created a list of new locations, gave them all tax codes UK1, UK2, UK3 etc. which used to be an old trick to give them all the same UK tax code as only first two letters were recognised. I also tried giving them unique codes of their own, on the belief that Sagepay would just use the country field and ignore this. Neither option worked, giving messages about too longer country codes.

So then i switched to the states facility, created Highlands, Islands, IOW, IOW etc. as states of the UK, this was OK and workable. However when uploaded, despite selecting a country and a state, it always gave a message saying to please select a state. I was sure i had, many times in fact, even emptied cart, and started it all over again. (Error message says: Please select a state/province for Mainland UK.)

I had to take the solution offline as it rendered checkout completely useless. I have also confirmed that everything is setup as per the KB article with regards to tax and shipping.

So my question is, any V10 users, on sagepay, using UK states and have it working. If so HTF did you do it?

It is possible using UK1, UK2 codes but requires a Perl script change see here.

Thanks Pebbles, much appreciated, just uploading and trying it now. I found the script had an extra line than in those posts, but hopefully OK. Cheers.

It worked, thank you.
