Cleanup postcode, set county

    Hi there, many thanks for your simple and very useful plugin.

    Have just installed it for a company selling gluten free pork pies for delivery in UK ??

    Two minor points that would polish it for us – one is that people often enter their postcode lazily, e.g. yo268ay instead of YO26 8AY so it would be nice if the lookup could fill the postcode too. I can see this in the API response for yo268ay:

    {
    “postcode”: “YO26 8AY”,
    “latitude”: 54.0254,
    “longitude”: -1.322467,
    “addresses”: [
    {
    “formatted_address”: [
    “Grange Farm”,
    “Boroughbridge Road”,
    “”,
    “Whixley, York”,
    “North Yorkshire”
    ], etc….

    Also, the county is not being set, but again it’s there in the API output:

    “locality”: “Whixley”,
    “town_or_city”: “York”,
    “county”: “North Yorkshire”,
    “district”: “Harrogate”,
    “country”: “England”
    },

    These could be options, default off, in the admin.

    Again, many thanks for this!

    Hey there, bootle ??

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Tidying up the postcode would be a good improvement, nice idea – I’ll see what I can do on that front.

    Regarding the County field, that should already be being populated. I’ve just tried it on my test site and also on a live project that I’ve used my plugin on, and with that postcode the “County (optional)” field is populated with “North Yorkshire” for both of the found addresses.

    If you want to email me with your site URL (email is my username at gmail dot com) then I can perhaps look at the County issue for you.

    I’ve just pushed out a quick 1.4 update that takes the suggestion about tidying up the postcode on board – that should now be in place!

    Thanks again for the suggestion ??
