Zip Code format problem in Simple Donate
January 07, 2015, 08:29:47 am
When trying to run the Simple Donate extension I noticed that the ZIP CODE field is using a validation template that does not work for a country using alphanumeric zipcode (like Canada)
The field require numeric only content. :(  (see attached screen shot)

Since the use of Canadian zip code works fine in all the core module it must be some formating specific to this extension.

(Note: this was found running Simple Donate in "test mode" from the main menu and using a sysadmin ID)

i think simple donate was designed and implemented specifically in a US centric way, primarily to take advantage of http://ziptasticapi.com/ (to avoid folks entering city/state)

might want to contact (and potentially fund) the developers at web access to extend their work to include other countries

just checked and ziptastic does handle canada :) Some code changes might be required:

I've enable the ziptastic option but still end-up with the same error message.

So it seem that this is a US only extension for now.

Thanks for the suggestion.

any chance your org can contribute code to make the extension work in canada (and potentially other countries also?) Would definitely help the extension gain more traction

I will certainly present a request to my management team about this.
But can you point me to the best way to contact the developper.
I will need a estimate cost before trying to get the funding.

Possible workaround: Zip Code format problem in Simple Donate
January 07, 2015, 12:21:30 pm
I may have found a workaround for this problem.

In the "com.webaccessglobal.simpledonate/partials/simpledonate.html" file :

on line 70 I removed the "data-parsley-type" that was forcing the field to be numerical.
The "parsley-type" could be configure to use regular expression validation. That may be the way to go for a permanent fix. For now I will proceed with no validation on the zip code field.

I will test to see if a new donation gets process properly with this change in place.
