Mandatory/non-mandatory fields in create_account

Recommended Posts

Greetings wise ones,

 

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I created a store with osC and everything's running really well (shock, horror) but now I find I want to change the mandatory/non-mandatory status of certain fields in the "Create account" area.

 

I've got a telephone number field set to mandatory (so we can contact customers if there's a problem with their order) but I'm worried that being forced to provide a phone number is putting people off from signing up, so I want to make this field optional.

 

I have vague memories of setting this up, but can't remember how the heck I did it. The advancing years are taking their toll, I fear.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Ellie,

 

Look at this thread, this will help you out.

 

Disable Telephone As A Requirement

P.S. If you'd like the telephone field to be seen as optional, simply follow the instructions in that thread and replace that asterisk with the word OPTIONAL
