Slovenian state information missing / 'Not listed' will not submit

[sam]

User reported: "I'm trying to register our fledgling initiative based in Dovje-Mojstrana, Slovenia. When I select the country, the Province/State? box automatically comes up as not listed. But then when I press preview to be ready to send, it says "The specified province was not found in the specified country." So I can't submit the form :-(
Please help! I think we will be the first official Transition town in Slovenia!"

I had a go at creating the initiative in a different country, then editing it to Slovenia as a workaround, but that didn't work either:

Any idea's as to why it won't accept 'not listed' as a valid choice? Or what we can do about it?

Thanks

does this help from the 'Regular tasks and replies' doc
(​https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aYXPkzPNcR6LrwgPzOf0bYPc0q5CMI5DTS4Wm0LeWuQ/edit#)

User will say they can’t find a region in their country - this is probably because the location module’s regions don’t map to their regions. So I dig out the regions list served by the location module which is here:
​https://github.com/i-jk/OBSOLETE-Transition-Network/tree/live/sites/all/modules/location/supported
And have a look - if it’s obvious, I’ll set their location for them, if not, I’ll send them the list and ask them.
If it’s not on there - we can either add it manually (not a great idea, it’s a bodge on a patch) - or tell them that’s all we’ve got. Improvements to this module will come with a move to D7 - ie a *massive* move, so we’re rather embedded in this situation for now...

Hi Ed

That would help if it was a case of having the wrong region, the problem here I think is that there are no regions at all.

Ticket 316 seems relevant here:
​/trac/ticket/316

My assumption is that the 'not listed' option was added at some point as a workaround for countries where we have incomplete data on regions? But for some reason that's no longer working?

Thanks

Hi Sam,

I'll take a look now ..

Added the province to location.si.inc and cleared the province cache and updated the form.

BTW: http://annesley.parrot.transitionnetwork.org/IIRS/registration/
the new IIRS is ok here, just checked it. obviously it uses a live
location lookup service (currently Google). from the comments i am
guessing that the Drupal locations are hard-coded;
