Globalisation in Invoice pro

Joe,

There appears to be an issue with the globalisation in invoice pro.

I am in the UK and if I pick a date it reverts to american style 01/16/2013 which causes an issue in saving the invoice. I can do a manual over ride, but bit of a pain.

I have set the globalistaion to en-GB and this works for Calendar Pro and blogs.

Also with the invoice pro, when paying an invoice and I select UK, the state dropdown list still stays for american states. It does not change to UK Counties or even blank.

Any suggestions

Cheers

 

Simon

Re: Globalisation in Invoice pro

Hi Simon,

When I force en-GB from user.comfig the date picker in /WebInvoice/Edit.aspx shows correctly as dd/mm/yyyy not as US format mm/dd/yyyy

<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />
  <add key="site1culture" value="en-GB" />
  <add key="site1uiculture" value="en-GB" />

The bold one is the one that affects date formatting, the other one just controls which resource file is used for labels.

Unfortunately we just don't have the data for UK states in the database. You could add it manually from Administration > Core Data > Geographic Zone Information. Once you add it there then it will populate the dropdown.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Globalisation in Invoice pro

Config settings have been set as

<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true"/>
<add key="site1culture" value="en-GB"/>
<add key="site1uiculture" value="en-GB" />

and have tested on seperate machines/browsers and this only relates to invoice pro. I will investigate further and let you know when I resolve it.

With regards to Core Data, I had forgotten that so thanks for the prompt. Once I have populate my tables, is there a way to send you the data so it can be preinstalled on later versions of mojoportal.

Re: Globalisation in Invoice pro

If you could select those rows with a query and export them from sql as csv I might be able to include them. But it may be tricky because I cannot assume that no-one has already keyed in their own, there is a potential to create duplicates.

Best,

Joe

Re: Globalisation in Invoice pro

Joe,

I have started to add the UK counties, however in Invoice pro they do not show up in the list when selecting United Kingdom.

Whenever I select any country it still keeps all the United States states as opposed to going blank (or new core data), which is what I would have expected.

Also Invoice Pro defaults to default to United States rather than United Kingdom.

Therefore along with the date picker using the US format in Invoice pro seems to be an Invoice Pro specific issue with Globalisation.

This is backed up as the web store performs as expected on defaulting to United kingdom and picking up the new Counties I have added in the Core Data. Also the Calendar date picker performs as expected but not in Invoice pro.

I am using version 1.7.0.6

Re: Globalisation in Invoice pro

I've just emailed you an updated package of Web Invoice Pro. I was able to reproduce the country/state problem and fix it.

Please let me know if it solves the problem for you.

Best,

Joe

Re: Globalisation in Invoice pro

That's done the trick for the county/state issue,

Many thanks
