When editing an address from /Members/MyAddressBook and you are using an address validator, you will always get the "Confirm Address" modal, even if the address is valid.

empty-confirmation.jpg (34kb) downloaded 4 time(s).

The expected behavior is that the modal only appears if the address is found to be invalid.
Otherwise, it should just save the address with no fuss.

The problem code can be found in
MembersController.cs -> POST:Members/EditMyAddress/Id
Under the comment: // check validation options


Edit:
This bug is in both 9.0.2.6218 and 9.0.3

I am having difficulties finding this setting in the backend, where exactly is this setting?

Thanks

The address validation needs to be enabled in an Address Validator Service plugin, like the UPS plugin.
If that helps.

Hey Kevin,

I figured as much. We are still a couple of months from launching our site which does rely heavily on UPS, so I'm curious about something. In many other programs when I encountered any type of address verification, it was a suggestion to use a particular address, I'm hoping this is the same through Ablecommerce.

If the system is working properly in Ablecommerce, is the dialogue box suggesting an address or forcing you to use an address?

Thanks

If the plugin provides suitable alternatives, it will list them for selection in the modal along with a hard coded option to use the address as entered.
If it doesn't find a suitable alternative, it won't give you the option, it will just tell you the address is invalid.

I speak generally though. I haven't used the UPS plugin myself, so it may always return the entered address as an alternative, in which case you will always get the entered address as an alternative and an option to use the address exactly as entered, which would be little weird...

I live in Miami and my office is also in Miami but in a smaller area that incorporated into a sub city 10 years ago called Doral. Of course the city of Doral wants everybody to start using Doral as opposed to Miami, but many address verification systems will not register Doral as a valid option.

This is true for many other parts of the United States where you have subsidies into larger cities, we have found especially when using the Postal Service, that mail gets to us quicker if we use Doral as opposed to Miami.

This may not be a big deal for many people, but if you are that type of person that already has stationary, and many other items that list a particular city and branding is a big concern, it can definitely make a difference.

I will eventually get to this when we launch, worst-case scenario we should have the ability to bypass the dialogue box.

Just my two cents.

Yeah, worst case you can always modify /Views/Shared/_AddressValidationModal.cshtml and /Controllers/MembersController.cs to handle it anyway you need to.

Could you post the bug fix when you complete it, even if it is in source code? We have a large client upgrading from R12 and I just ran across the issue also. At other times, the box did show addresses to select from.
This client is going to be purchasing source code so that we can fix bugs if they can't wait until AC comes out with a patch and the fix needs to be done in source code.
Thanks
