mwinn Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 We are selling registration fees to our customers for our annual forum, so there is no physical thing to ship and we don't want to require our customers to sign in, so I installed the PWA file that I found on this board, which works fine, but it still goes to an information page that requests our customers to fill in some of their personal information. We would like to eliminate some of the required fields in the Create_account.php file, (I.E. street address, telephone number etc). I am not a programmer, although I do have some limited html programming experience, but I have never played with a .php file before. If anyone out there has any idea on how I can accomplish this, please let me know. Email [email protected] Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usernamenone Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 First log into admin and under configuration and then customer details you can turn off some of them form there. If you take credit card payments these fields must be filled in or you will be unable to process payment. What you want to do is take out Ship To. I have removed this from my shop as I only use PayPal as a processor. PayPal gets the billing address from the form my customer has filled out but they use paypal's ship to address. There are a couple files to edit out. Open add something to your cart and start the check out as if a customer and when you get to the shipping information look at the address bar and see the name of the file that needs to be edited. They can be found in the includes folder. php in oscommerce is embedded in html. If you know html you should have no problem editing php, by looking at the page source codes in your browser you should be able to find the corresponding code that needs to be removed. It will be just after <!-- header_eof //--> <!-- body //--> If you don't have a personal server set up on you computer for testing I would advise you do so and test editing on a test server before trying this live on your shop. Vertrigo is a great little server for this but there is not email client so when you get to the end and oscommerce is ready to sent the payment email you will get an error. http://vertrigo.sourceforge.net/ We are selling registration fees to our customers for our annual forum, so there is no physical thing to ship and we don't want to require our customers to sign in, so I installed the PWA file that I found on this board, which works fine, but it still goes to an information page that requests our customers to fill in some of their personal information.

♥Vger Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 If you are new to osCommerce then other than setting optional fields to 'false' in osCommerce admin, under Cnfiguration --> Customer Details, I would leave well alone. There are around 8 to 9 files that have to be edited to get rid of 'required' fields and not just the Create Account page. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
