Just like there is a default value for 'State/Province' field which is: 'Please select region, state or province' I need to add a default value to City field in billing and shipping steps in checkout.
In my case the City is drop-down list getting its list of cities from database.



In app>design>frontend>base>default>template>checkout>onepage>billing.phtml, the city field code is:



<div class="field">
<label for="billing:city" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('City') ?>
</label>

<div class="input-box">
<input type="text" title="<?php echo $this->__('City') ?>"
name="billing[city]"
value="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getAddress()->getCity()) ?>"
class="input-text <?php echo $this->helper('customer/address')->getAttributeValidationClass('city') ?>"
id="billing:city"/>
</div>
</div>

If I understand you, you want to force your users to have default value on city section then change this:



value="<?php echo "your city name"; //$this->escapeHtml($this->getAddress()->getCity()) ?>" 


This will make default city on city field.



PS



By default Magento pools city data for registered customer from database using $this->escapeHtml($this->getAddress()->getCity()) function.



So when you change this, it will never pool that data.

  • Let me check this.Please note that i am using an extension for drop-down city list so I will edit the extension's billing.phtml and shipping.phtml files.Does that too would pose issue to pool data for registered customers if i follow your answer?
