Is there an app or a way that puts the state usa users are in instead of listing the country.

Please see attached. Is there a way to have users in the united states in the browse section to display the city and state they are in, instead of the country? Here is the usa many of the city names are in multiple states. for example... there is baltimore, maryland and there is also baltimore, ohio. it's no good to have baltimore, united states displaying because someone looking at the browse page will not know which baltimore the user is in.

Sorry, I didn't see this the first time...you want the secret?  I will tell you...sloppy coding without testing.  Sometimes I wish they would stop adding stuff and fix the issues they currently have.  I just purchased YouNet Photo Viewer and paid way to much for an open window and a little CSS and installed it on a fresh site with no add-ons...and it didn't work correctly...it is sad.  I am starting to believe they don't want us to actually launch a site and that is why many here disappear and give up.

So this fix will be overwritten on an upgrade.

My excel spreadsheet with hundreds of fixes says go to:

PF.Base/module/user/include/component/block/info.class.php

Then go to line 32

it says

if (empty($aLocation) && $aUser['country_child_id']) {

Now add ! before the word empty

it should be

if (!empty($aLocation) && $aUser['country_child_id']) {

Thanks so much John! I can't believe it was so simple!

Cool!

A simple character can make such a big difference. Will Upgrading the site to a new release reset that change? Just wondering :worried:

Yes, if you upgrade the site, it will most like be written over as you are changing the code although I did change rebuild core and it did not write over it.  What I do is keep an excel spreadsheet of any changes I do to the site including the settings and phrases.  You do this in case something happens, or in this case... an upgrade. 

When they notice this post, they will most likely put this as a fix for 4.8 LOL...Just kidding :)
