Hello,
For one of our events we’re printing badges that will display each Attendee’s city and state. However, the exported CSV shows the full State Name instead of two letter State ID.
I have gone through every setting screen that I could think of, and searched the forum. Perhaps I’ve missed something? Is there a way to change this so that the “State” field in all filtered CSV Reports always use the State ID instead?
Kind Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
The Registration report uses the full state name as we found that’s what most people requested. It is possible to change it using a snippet and we have an example of doing so here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/admin/registration-reports/core/jf_ee_csv_report_change_state_to_abbreviation.php
You can add that to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:

Hi Tony,
Using two letter abbreviations for states is what’s typically done in the continental USA. It would be nice if there was a toggle somewhere in the admin. Our functions.php file has quite a few EE code snippets.
Thank you! 🙂 I can confirm that this has been resolved.
Kind Regards,
Chris

We’ve discussed having various options within the admin, but the problem is we have so many different features with so many different ‘wants’ for each feature that if we start down that path we will very quickly end up with a ‘wall of options’.
EE3 had this to a degree and it causes more confusion than it solves in the long run.
We aim for smart default and have the option to change various options/outputs/etc with a snippet, that way the users that need to make a change have the option to without a bunch of options for those that don’t.
I’d recommend using a custom functions plugin over your theme’s functions.php, simply because if you change themes you end up losing the custom functionality you’ve added, but, I’m arguing semantics here 🙂
