I'm trying to add listings for business located in St. Maarten / St. Martin in Netherlands Antilles. They do not use zip codes there, however Business Directory 6.1 expects a valid zip code.

For example, a valid address in St. Maarten would be 94 Boulevard de Grand Case, Grand Case, Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles. This translates to Latitude=18.052592,  Longitude:-63.073633.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jake,

The application is built with the assumption that listings have a zip or some form  of postal code.

This information is used to help Google create a map location.

To make the Postal Code non-required:

1. Open your form using the XMod plain text editor and search for the follwing line:

[validate type="required" text="*" message="Company Info: You must enter a Postal Code" class="dnnpNormalRed" enableclientscript="true" /]

Note: I have replaced arrows with brackets to render the code in this forum post.

By removing the above line from your form code, the postal code will no longer be required.

2. On the admin options portion of the form you can bypass the get coordinates function of the latitude and longitude by manually adding the coordinates you describe above and update the form.
