Hi Simon,

We have an open ticket to address this issue and I have added this thread to that.

If you go to Event Espresso -> General Settings. Countries tab.

Select United Kingdom within the list.

Can you see the Cheshire county within the ‘States’?

If you look in the Code field for Cheshire, does it say ‘Cheshi’?

The offending line is in core/helpers/assets/EEH_Formatter.helper.php on line 453:

return $obj_with_address->state_obj() instanceof EE_State ? '' . $obj_with_address->state_obj()->abbrev() . '' : '';

We have a proposed change on the ticket Tony created:

return $obj_with_address->state_obj() instanceof EE_State ? apply_filters('FHEE__EEH_Formatter_address_region_format','' . $obj_with_address->state_obj()->abbrev() . '' , $obj_with_address): '';

If that proposed change is adopted, you can then create a function

function custom_espresso_address_region( $original, $obj_with_address) {
return $obj_with_address->state_obj() instanceof EE_State ? '' . $obj_with_address->state_obj()->name() . '': '';
}
add_filter('FHEE__EEH_Formatter_address_region_format','custom_espresso_address_region',10,2);

So you would make that change to the core file, then add that custom function (see http://youtu.be/pqe1RQ4peAM if you need help adding the custom fuction). If the proposed change to EE4 core is adopted and the filter added, then your custom function will continue to work the next time you update EE4.

Hi Simon,

The forum syntax highlighter went a litter strange with the code Sidney posted, we have now amended this to display correctly and have altered the code slightly.

Could you re-apply the changes above replacing the previous code or using the example here:

https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/e7ad286a897ebeec86a3

Also to note, there should be no change within the Admin, that function changes the formatting to use the State ‘name’ rather than the ‘code’ which is currently what is used.

How are you currently adding the counties into Event Espresso?
