Customising Phone number format for other Countries

Hi, How do I change the format for the phone number - in the user's profile page?
At the moment it reformats a phone number to (000) 000-0000. I want to impliment an Australian format - (00) 0000-0000. How do I achieve this?

The 10 digit format is already supported. To get the format to store in the (xx)xxxx-xxxx format in your database, you will have to find the phone number input box and find where it has this:
'x (xxx) xxx-xxxx'

and change it to this:
'x (xx) xxxx-xxxx'

Thanks - that was easy - cannot believe I didnt see it.

No worries, everyone misses things like that at some time. If you run into any additional issues, feel free to open a new thread.

Hi Jimmy,
I have changed 'x (xxxx) xxxx-xxxx' in Admin orders_Update.php, but somehow it was failed to update when I tried on my website.

The phone box is green, but when I pressed update button it shows "Please enter a phone number to call with shipping quesions"

Thank you.

Are the valid lengths on that number format 8, 12 and 13? And if its 13, is there a certain value that the first digit has to be?

Above I said the 10 digit format is already supported. Your format seems to be longer, so you get an error.

In Germany the phone number usually is 12 digit and looks like this (XXXX)-XXXX-XXXX.
Can I do anything about it? Thank you

First thing to do would be to change the format to that, and remove the extra 'x' at the beginning:
'(xxxx) xxxx-xxxx'

Next you will have to go to the top of the page and find this code:

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidatePN(((isset($_POST["OrderPhone"]))?$_POST["OrderPhone"]:"") . "",true,false,true,8);

Change the false to a true.

Then go to the WA_ValidationToolkit directory and open the WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php file and find the function:
function WAValidatePN($value,$areaCode,$international,$required,$number) {

In this function you will want to find this block of code:

if ($international)  {

      if  (strlen($newVal) < 5)  {

        $isValid = false;

      }

    }

Change the condition:
strlen($newVal) < 5

to look like this:
strlen($newVal) != 12

Thank you Jimmy, everything works well!

Great to hear it. If you run into any additional issues, feel free to open a new thread.
