Force customer to set default address

When registering for an account the address he gives is automatically set as default, however there are times when he will add a second address and set that to default address. If he then deletes that address there is no longer a default address set.

Is there a way to either alert customer that he does not have a default address set or indeed a better way would be to automatically set the orginal address back to default.

you can add an if else statement.

Thanks for the reply, I assume that the statement you are suggesting there is not complete? ALso where would I place this code please?

That statement is good enough to add any text you wish to display if they do not have a default address. You can just add it directly to your template.

I´m having similar problem after a ZenCart migration. Although the default address is correctly set, zone_id in adddress table lost the old city value.

Now I want to show a message in payment_address.tpl just for users where default address have zone_id = '0':

<?php if ($addresses) { ?>
<div class="advice">Please review your address before continue. <br/>Visit <a href="/index.php?route=account/address">your address book</a>, push EDIT link and check that all the information is correct.</div><br />
<?php } ?>

How may I use your code?
It´s possible to make this link redirect directly to this address?, just like:
Something like:

<?php if ($address['zone'] == '0') { ?><div class="advice">Si era cliente de nuestra antigua tienda y este es su primer pedido, debería actualizar su dirección antes de seguir. <br/>Visite <a href="/index.php?route=account/address/update&address_id=<?php echo $address['address_id']; ?>">su libreta de direcciones</a>, pulse EDITAR y compruebe todos los datos que aparecen en el formulario.</div><br />
<?php } ?>

Thanks in advance!

Solved with payment_address.tpl, at the very top of the file, PASTE:
Thanks.
