hetster Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 i am in the process of trying to create a very simple shop for a client. the client wants to take payments paypal ONLY. what i am wondering is if theres a way to remove some of the fields so they dont have to enter the same info twice. onve on my page and once on paypals. all i need really is first name, last name, and email for my site. or even better narrowing those fields down to just those 3 and also removing the sign up and log in screens so i am only left with express checkout and also the 3 fields to complete. the code i have found is <td class="main" valign="top"><?php echo tep_address_label($customer_id, $sendto, true, ' ', '<br>'); ?></td> but have had no luck in changig any details..they allways say the same. also if country is an sql/osc necessity is there a way of making united kingdom the defualt instead of select country. sorry for all the querstions in 1 thread but it seems a waste to make 3 seperate ones.. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hetster Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 ok after weeks of searching around the php's ive finaly found where to remove the fields. i am hoping someone can put my mind at rest by answering the following. how many fields are REQUIRED by the sql db or can i safely remove ANY fields i like without messing up the DB. ie which is the primary key. even though paypal is takeing the order and shipping address etc i still need a record of who bought what. the fields i really want are only 1. first name 2. second name 3. email addy possibly useing the email addy as primary key and matching the first last name with the order taken from paypal. the reason i ask is i saw a post somewhere about someone wanting to remove the country field and they was told that the DB depends on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrix2223 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 First PLEASE dont bump your post its against forum rules. You may want to try using paypal IPN http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2679/ As for the stock paypal loses orders when customers dont come back to your site even though they pay for it. Which leads you to dig for the oder to see what they really odered. I also think the info is passed for your site to paypal as well so I would use this contrib. Its highly recomended for any osC shop. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
