Does anyone know how i can do this? in New Zealand we dont use postal codes.... at the least it would be good if i could remove it as a required option.

Hello, New Zealand!

 

I assume you can accomplish the same thing I have.....removing the telephone number as a requirement.....by going to yoursite.com/admin.....sign in.....click on My Store....click on Minimum Values on the top left of your screen.....select the post code field and then delete the entry that is there and leave it blank. No zero, nothing. Just blank. That will disable the field as a required entry.

 

Then......go into yoursite.com/cpanel.....assuming that's how you access your PHP files....and go into catalog/includes/languages/english.php and look for the post code section where you see the '*' defined and simply delete the asterisk....that way, your customers will not see the asterisk next to that field and it will not be seen as a 'required' field.

 

They can then register and skip the post code field and their registration will go through smoothly.

 

If you're wanting to dispose of the entire post code field itself.......hopefully, someone else will come along with instructions on how to take it off the page entirely. That, I do not know. I'd like to get rid of the telephone field entirely....so it's not even seen, not even something to consider.....but, I have yet to figure out how to do that.
