Postal code validator error

[John_k]

Hello guys,

I have this problem with my validator that it won't recognise my postal code.

It shows red cross. I have set the backend setting to 'NNNN' for 4 x numbers. So it should work.

As far as I know it's a common problem - but the solutions out there don't work for me.

Please help me.

Regards  

Benjamin

Hi

Here are the functions that validates postcode in prestashop

File: class/Validate.php

  public static function isPostCode($postcode)
    {
        return empty($postcode) || preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z 0-9-]+$/', $postcode);
    }

    /**
     * Check for zip code format validity
     *
     * @param string $zip_code zip code format to validate
     * @return bool Validity is ok or not
     */
    public static function isZipCodeFormat($zip_code)
    {
        if (!empty($zip_code)) {
            return preg_match('/^[NLCnlc 0-9-]+$/', $zip_code);
        }
        return true;
    }

 

It seems the regex in the isZipCodeFromat function can be modify for whatever you want.

Additionally the class/Address.php class definitions referrers isPostCode for validation before this function.

 

Also, as in the wiki page a the postcode should be at least 5 chars. Can be 6-7. It is here https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Postal_code. But I'm not sure.
