Optional Telephone Number

[Guest]

Hi All

 

At the moment when a customer goes through checkout they have to put in their telephone number, I would like to make it optional and not a requirement. Any ideas where and what code i need to change?

 

Thanks

Look at create_account.php, and see how the code changes between stuff that's required and stuff that's optional. I don't, offhand, know how to change it, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure it out.

Making the telephone number optional is an easy fix.

1) Go to your admin->configuration->minimum values and make sure the entry for telephone number is cleared

2) Edit your (catalog)/includes/languages/english.php file by searching for

define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', '*');

and simply change that to

define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', '');

 

After this the telephone number is optional.
