Required Fields Help


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi

I know you guys get this question all the time and I have read through posts and answers but I still cant find where to change things like telephone number to not be a required field. I have left the minimu values blank as suggested but i want to remove the red writing that appears on the create an account page saying required as well.

 

Please be gentle, im only new and I have had a go and trying suggestions. This is all the info on my english.php page if this helps

 

A huge thank you in advance to anyone who can spare so time to help me out!!

Regards

Lianna

have a look at catalog/create_account.php line #460 contains the span class for the red text but you may want to remove the check for this field as well which is line #153 to #157

For anyone still getting the javascript error (...must contain a minimum of 0 characters), I fixed the javascript instead of going around it.

 

Find this javascript function in includes/form_check.js.php

function check_input(field_name, field_size, message) {
?if (form.elements[field_name] && (form.elements[field_name].type != "hidden")) {
? ?var field_value = form.elements[field_name].value;

? ?if (field_value == '' || field_value.length < field_size) {
? ? ?error_message = error_message + "* " + message + "\n";
? ? ?error = true;
? ?}
?}
}

 

On the second line, add: && (field_size > 0)

So the function will look like this:

 

function check_input(field_name, field_size, message) {
?if (form.elements[field_name] && (form.elements[field_name].type != "hidden") && (field_size > 0)) {
? ?var field_value = form.elements[field_name].value;

? ?if (field_value == '' || field_value.length < field_size) {
? ? ?error_message = error_message + "* " + message + "\n";
? ? ?error = true;
? ?}
?}
}

 

Now the function checks first to see if the required size is 0, and skips it if true.

 

I hope that helps someone. :huh:

Administration/Configuration/Minimum Values/Telephone Number:

Delete the value and UPDATE as blank.

 

English.php:

define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', '*');

 

Delete the *

define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', '');

 

Works for me anyway.

Tried to do the method Rebecca suggested. Strangely enough, it works with the phone number, but not with the date of birth. Does anybody have an explanation for this? Strange, isn't it? Any idea how i can make the date of birth an non-required entry field?

 

Apart of that, I would like to totally get rid of the boxes suburb and state; I don't even want those boxes to appear on the page when a customer creates an account. Can anybody help me with this as well?

 

Any suggestions are very welcome.

In administration, select Customer Details under Configuration and set Date of Birth to false.

I have been trying to get the dob field to not be required as well. I have read all the posts that explain how to do it, but i can't. When I go to Administration - Configuration - there is no area that says Customer Detail. I only have these selections:

 

My Store

Minimum Values

Maximum Values

Images

Shipping/Packaging

Product Listing

Stock

Logging

Cache

E-Mail Options

Download

 

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thank you

That's strange, "customer Details" appears between "Images" and "Shipping/Packing" in mine.

 

Can you have a look at your database and see if it appears in the configuration_group table?
