      Hi Olly,

      1) Is there a demo available for this Extension?

      2) In the UK our post codes are set in two blocks of 3 (WA9 1AB, WA10 2RB)
      The first 3 represent a large area, the 4th is an area within that. 5-6 narrow it down more but are not relevant to the problem.

      We want to be able to charge more for further distances
      eg
      WA9 1AR £4
      WA10 1AR £5

      I understand this would be simple with your extension the problem is the last two digits.

      Would I have to list every single postcode (Currently 1229 in WA9 alone) for the auto complete text box to work?

      3) If the above answer is yes then we will just have to set the postcodes as the first 4 digits (WA9 1) and have the user fill in the rest.
      Is it possible to get another entry box to appear to the right of the drop down so they can add the remaining part of their postcode?

      Thanks for your time.

        >re 1:
        just added a (somewhat random) demo here
        https://www.wp-pizza.com/albinomouse/

        >re 2:
        see example, you can truncate as you like. so i suppose you would only need 10 for WA9

        >re: 3
        no, there is no option for the user to fill in the rest unless you provide an additional field somewhere as you are suggesting. (so maybe the answer is yes here after all. anyway you get the idea)
        layout could be done with css however you want it

          Thanks for the response.

          1) Thank you
          2) We need the full postcode to be able to know where they are. Truncating would be fine if we had a box at the side for the rest of the postcode.
          3) I wouldn’t know where to start with CSS

            sure, i’m aware of that

            > had a box at the side for the rest of the postcode.

            you’d probably be better off using some javascript that copies the selected truncated postcode to another field and then check that its completed or something as you would otherwise end up with 2 lines in the emails . first being WA9 1 second being KG (if the postcode were to be “WA9 1KG” )
