Editing required information in account field

[paul_in_toronto]

Im trying to figure out how you can pick and choose what information is required in the account field.

 

Id to set it up with only first name, email address and password as required fields.

You can choose what fields are shown in your admin area - configuration / customer details. There you can choose true/false for gender, date of birth, company, address2, county/state, telephone.

 

If you want to remove other fields you could manually amend the create_account.php file. Further down the page you'll see how the table is constructed - a quick fix would be to simply delete the lines/cells which aren't needed.

 

Might also be worth checking the contributions section for a more elegant solution - don't know a specific one off-hand but there are quite a few modifications for account log in which migh be of interest.

 

and always - back up first! all the best with your site, edith
