I am going to cry. No Orders showing at ALL

LOL!!
Yeah, that would be me!

But honestly, I havent the foggiest, or even actually, the need to update, at least not at this point in time.

Unless I am guaranteed all the changes that were made would STAY, then, maaaaaybe.

but....
Now Im lost.

I only changed the code so far, none of the table information, but I did add Zipcode to the address book to make it read as EITHER Zip or post.

I still have references to post code in the following tables


address_FORMAT:
1 $firstname $lastname$cr$streets$cr$city,$postcode$cr$statecom ma$country
$city / $country
2 $firstname $lastname$cr$streets$cr$city, $state,$postcode$cr$country
$city, $state / $country
3 $firstname $lastname$cr$streets$cr$city$cr$postcode - $statecomma$country
$state / $country
4 $firstname $lastname$cr$streets$cr$city ($postcode)$cr$country $postcode / $country
5 $firstname $lastname$cr$streets$cr$postcode $city$cr$country $city / $country


configuration:
Post Code ENTRY_POSTCODE_MIN_LENGTH

and with ZIP I have

address_book:
entry_zipcode


configuration:
Postal Code SHIPPING_ORIGIN_ZIP

paypalipn-txn:
address_zip

Do I need to change those references, or just ADD the zip to those tables?
I THINK my problem with them not showing in the orders is because I added the zip entries to the address BOOK, but not to the address FORMAT, maybe?

Do I just add in the zipcode into those strings, like right after the postcode, since I didnt replace any table entries with zip, only added it to the table before, and use the EDIT function???
OR if this is what I have to do, do I actually ADD it to the table as a separate line AFTER each with the entry being the same, only the line changed to read zip instead of post, so BOTH formats are still there, but added as a correct table addition, not just edited?

And I think I totally either just answered my own question, or confused myself beyond thought...


lol
ugh
