- fix the usage of short php tags in previous version
- add functionality of show/hide 'find address' button for a list of countries, this is for people who split the UK into regions for shipping/VAT calculation purposes (channel islands, scotland etc)

Bug fix release.

1. fix install steps - the paths were wrong in admin section.

2. fix a bug in JavaScript introduced in v3.1 - some postcodes could hang up the sorting functions and result in a time out error.

Small fix in the install steps - there was a non-existent file referenced.

Uploaded for the benefit of new users. No fixes, no need to update if you have previous version installed.

This version is compatible with one page checkout contribution (6646).

The code has seen some major changes, but there are no bug fixes. There is no need to upgrade from v2.x.x unless you plan to have pages with more than one address form (e.g. single page checkout)

Enjoy.

This version is a fix for Chrome. Thanks to Alan from www.nordichouse.co.uk for reporting this. Version 2.0 does not work at all with Chrome!

Also a minor change in crafty_html_output.php for alignment of graphical "find address" buttons.

Only the JavaScript really needs a change, but full version uploaded for the benefit of new users.

New in this version:

JavaScript now communicates directly with the CraftyClicks server without any data relay server-side scripts. This allows for faster lookup times - even with some network delays, the typical response time should be under half a second.

Upgrade from v1.x.x is a 5 minute job. Full installation is 15 minutes.

Enjoy.

This contribution adds address finder functionality to all address entry forms. Customers now simply enter their UK postcode, click a button and select an address from a drop-down box.

Using postcode lookup for address entry has two main benefits: speed & accuracy.

Customers gain happiness as their checkout/registration process gets faster and simpler.

Shop owner gains happiness as the addresses going into his/her database are always correct.
