VM4 - J4 - Shop Config problem on "State / Province / Region"

[kolokotronis]

Hi, i have installed Vm 4 on joomla 4 and i can't setup Shop beacuse dropdown "State / Province / Region" on Vendor Information is blank!!
So i think either user can't register beacause there is no selection for state!!

Have you got States entered in Configuration/Countries?

[kolokotronis]

Yes, it is clean install and after i added demo content but the same!

I notice a problem in paging

You don't say which VM 4 you have. Test with VM4.0.2.10661 if that's not the one you are using.

Hello Kolokotronis,

I spent a few days trying to resolve this issue... Was focusing on server set up as I couldn't find anyone else facing the same problem (rolled back PHP 8 > 7.4 & MariaDB > MYSQL etc).

GJC Web Design confirmed what I was seeing and Milbo revealed that it's probably a J4 issue: https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=148440.0 (a reference for others).

What I find puzzling is that there are only a handful of us reporting this issue... Which makes me think that there may be a bunch of people out there who are running J4/VM4 successfully. Not knowing for sure makes it difficult to know what to do.

...But it still may be a configuration issue for us.

I got my J4/VM4 set up functioning correctly in the front end when employing Guest Check Out (the back-end issues you report still existed) but also found that when Logged In as a user, no orders could be placed in the front end which was not ideal.

My thoughts are set up Joomla 3.10.9 (looks like .10's out but I haven't tested) and the latest VM4 and hold. Virtuemart is a wonderful cart and I'm sure that it won't be too long before we can successfully update to J4 from there.

A lot of European countries and the UK don't need or use the States so perhaps this is why they are able to run J4/VM4 ....

Hi Mike J, i tried like you anything to fix it!
I am waiting for a fix or update. I did't figure if it is joomla problem or VM

It's both - it looks like the newer Jquery in J4 requires a subtle change in how the JS/ajax is triggered on a change of country..

Yes, that makes sense... Thank you.
