User Registration Solution Pack

How can I fix the zip code and states in my form when I am not living in the US?
In Norway we have only four characters in our zip code.
The states option can be deleted.

Find line 878, which should look like this:
var sprytextfield8 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield8", "none", {validateOn:["blur"], minChars:5, maxChars:10});

on the users_Registration.php page. Change the minChars and maxChars to match with how it should be for your country's zip.

Deleting the zip from the form is a little more complicated. The easiest way to get this to work is to just have the state field have a default value and insert that default value into the database. You can delete all the options except for the first two. Then you would want to move the selected="selected" to the second option. then you would want to set the span tag to have a style setting the visibility to hidden. Next you would want to remove the </tr>, <tr> and <th>State:</th> tags above the span tag. The end result should look like this (I've included the city table row as well):

<tr>
        <th>City:</th>
        <td><span id="sprytextfield7">
          <input name="UserCity" type="text" class="WAATKTextField" id="UserCity" onBlur="if (document.getElementById('cityServerValidation')) document.getElementById('cityServerValidation').style.display='none'" value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("usersRegistration","UserCity")) ?>" size="32" />
          <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span></span>
          <?php
if (ValidatedField("usersRegistration","usersRegistration"))  {
  if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("usersRegistration","usersRegistration").","), "," . "16" . ",") !== false || "16" == ""))  {
    if (!(false))  {
?>
          <span class="textfieldServerError" id="cityServerValidation">
              Please enter your city.        </span>
        <?php //WAFV_Conditional users_Registration.php usersRegistration(16:)
    }
  }
}?></td>
        <td><span id="spryselect1" style="visibility:hidden">
          <select name="UserState" id="UserState" onBlur="if (document.getElementById('stateServerValidation')) document.getElementById('stateServerValidation').style.display='none'" onChange="if (document.getElementById('stateServerValidation')) document.getElementById('stateServerValidation').style.display='none'" >
            <option value=""  <?php if (!(strcmp("", (ValidatedField("usersRegistration","UserState"))))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>Choose a state</option>
            <option value=" " selected="selected" <?php if (!(strcmp(" ", (ValidatedField("usersRegistration","UserState"))))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>N/A</option>
          </select>
          <span class="selectRequiredMsg">Please select an item.</span>          </span>
          <?php
if (ValidatedField("usersRegistration","usersRegistration"))  {
  if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("usersRegistration","usersRegistration").","), "," . "17" . ",") !== false || "17" == ""))  {
    if (!(false))  {
?>
          <span class="textfieldServerError" id="stateServerValidation">
              Please choose your state.        </span>
        <?php //WAFV_Conditional users_Registration.php usersRegistration(17:)
    }
  }
}?></td>
      </tr>
