Firstly, congratulations on a great product suite and website. Clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone into the software, documentation and systems. It’s refreshing to see something so well done.

Is it possible to disable the “County” field on the input Form? In Australia, we don’t use County or District, and it is confusing to the user.

Ideally, I’d like to keep District but move the prompt for District to be either above or below the other address fields (as it is not used as part of the address in this country).

I’ve got a little coding knowledge.

Thanks and regards

Sorry, no, there is no easy way to remove the field. What you could do since you have some coding knowledge is unregister the default address field set and register you own custom fieldset.

To unregister the core address fieldset use this:

function cn_remove_address_metabox() {
    cnMetaboxAPI::remove('address');
}
add_action( 'cn_metabox', 'cn_remove_address_metabox', 9 );

To register you custom address fieldset use:

function cn_custom_address_fieldset() {

    if ( is_admin() ) {

    $pageHooks = apply_filters( 'cn_admin_default_metabox_page_hooks', array( 'connections_page_connections_add', 'connections_page_connections_manage' ) );

    // Define the core pages and use them by default if no page where defined.
    // Check if doing AJAX because the page hooks are not defined when doing an AJAX request which cause undefined property errors.
    $pages = defined('DOING_AJAX') && DOING_AJAX ? array() : $pageHooks;

    } else {

        $pages = array( 'public' );
    }

    $field = array(
        'id'       => 'metabox-address',
        'title'    => __( 'Addresses', 'connections' ),
        'pages'    => $pages,
        'context'  => 'normal',
        'priority' => 'core',
        'callback' => '{REPLACE WITH YOUR CUSTOM FUNCTION NAME}',
    );

    cnMetaboxAPI::add( $field );   
}

add_action( 'cn_metabox', 'cn_custom_address_fieldset', 9 );

Notice the {REPLACE WITH YOUR CUSTOM FUNCTION NAME} in the above code, you will have to replace that with you own function name for your custom address fieldset.

You can copy the code from Connections and alter it as needed to remove the country field and move the district field. it is this code that you would place in your own custom functions:

• https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/8.5.20/includes/class.metabox-entry.php#L1009

Hope that helps!
