May I know what is the purpose of "Regions" in the backend?
Thanks
Best regards.
Hello Josh,
Sorry for confusing here,
I have do a testing in my local :
First -> I would like to change the Hong Kong country name
Second -> I noticed the no any data for Hong Kong state
Third -> So I create new state for Hong Kong
check my result in my screenshot below. Hope this scenario will clear for you
The purpose of the Regions is allow the admin able to add/edit/delete/update from their countries and states.
Then those data will show out from the address custom field.
Hope this help.
The region options is actually used as an address data source "region database" as you can see from my screenshot here, http://screencast.com/t/y2v4ECEwy . You can then go to the backend > easysocial > regions and then start to initialized the database to show all the regions data there.
If the region is not available for selection as shown by my colleague example above, you can manually add the region by clicking on "New" button here, http://screencast.com/t/D46DVkJKl6H2 where it will populate accordingly in the address field during new user registration.
