Hi!
I need little help. I dont need the drop down menu with (Select Area) in my online shop if is selected Country (select country drop down menu) different than UK. At this moment if I select for example Germany ,the select area drop down menu (England, Scotland, Walles, North Ireland) is still displayed. Sorry for my english. I hope some one understand what i mean

Remove the ones you dont want in business settings | shipping

Bassically the problem here is this:

Link to checkout (You Have to add something to your shopping cart to view the checkout page)

If you select the UK as a shipping destination:
the areas come up as England Scotland Wales


If you select germany as the shipping destination:
the areas come up as England Scotland Wales

We need to grey out the 'area box' for every other country in other then the Uk.

Any Ideas?

You will have them listed as states somewhere - screen print of your shipping would help.

Germany and other eu countries have there own carriage band:

James, I don't think I can help with this problem because if you see the post immediately prior to this, I'm experiencing the same issue.

What I can say is that your post has probably earned you a customer though, I'm busy measuring my stock O rings, and will be in touch

If I get to the bottom of our difficulty, I'll let you know.

From the Advanced Users Guide:

Hiding the States List Unless Required
This change will hide the 'Select state/province if applicable' list unless either the USA or Canada is selected in the list.

1. Go to 'Design | Library | Layouts' and expand the 'Checkout Area' group.

2. Open the 'Delivery Location' layout.

3. Locate this code:
<Actinic:LOCATION TYPE="DELIVERSELECTSTATE">
<actinic:variable name="DeliveryStateList" />
</Actinic:LOCATION>

4. Replace it with this code:
<div id="showhidearea" style="visibility: hidden">
<Actinic:LOCATION TYPE="DELIVERSELECTSTATE">
<actinic:variable name="DeliveryStateList" />
</Actinic:LOCATION>
</div>

5. Now click 'OK' on this layout and go to the 'Delivery' country list group.

6. Open the 'Delivery Country List' layout

7. Click the orange 'Click here to edit list layout settings' link.

8. Replace the entire contents of the 'Start Of List' field with the following:
<select id="lstDeliveryCountry" name="LocationDeliveryCountry" onchange="javascript:div = document.getElementById('showhidearea'); if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value == 'US' || this.options[this.selectedIndex].value == 'CA') div.style.visibility = 'visible'; else div.style.visibility = 'hidden';">
<option value="">
<Actinic:Variable Name="SelectCountry" if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22InvoiceLocationIsUsed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20False"/>
<Actinic:Variable Name="UseInvoiceLocation" if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22InvoiceLocationIsUsed%22%20%2f%3e"/>

9. Click OK (twice) and then close the library and upload.
Note that the 'US' and 'CA' in bold in the code above are the country codes for the USA and Canada. You can replace these with different country codes if you want this to happen with different locations.

Kind regards,

That solution is OK if you want to turn on / off the full drop down State list - but if, like me, you only want to show customers Regions appropriate to the State they have selected then it won't do it. I don't have the liberty to show them all the options as each zone has its own Australia Post rate - so if they get to see all options then it will be showing them about 20 Australia Post lists - incredibly confusing!

Any other solutions out there? I am sure this must have been resolved somewhere before now? Much appreciation coming the way of anyone who can offer guidance here! If no answers anyone who can let me know how much it would cost to code something up for us?
