Change the requied information on create account page.

Hi all, I don't know how to change the required information on the creat account page to become a non required information. Could anyone help me solve this question, many thanks.

Russell, I don't know how to do it, but I did stumble across an answer to that question while searching for something else, so keep looking ... you'll find it too.

Last time I checked...

 

osC Admin Panel/Configuration/Customer Details.

 

It can be further fine tuned via contribution mods and the create_account.php page.

Been looking for this myself and finally found it - /catalog/includes/languages/english.php

All you have to do is delete the '*' . So, for example, starting at about line 162... if you want to make the field first name not required, change:

 

define('ENTRY_FIRST_NAME', 'First Name:');

define('ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_ERROR', 'Your First Name must contain a minimum of ' . ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.');

define('ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT', '*');

 

to:

 

define('ENTRY_FIRST_NAME', 'First Name:');

define('ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_ERROR', 'Your First Name must contain a minimum of ' . ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.');

define('ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT', '');

 

I'm sure this isn't the correct way to do this but it worked for me. I'm pretty new to this so please back everything up!
