Would anyone help me and not only read the post ?

Ok, here goes again... i posted this 3 times and everytime it gets piled up along the old posts without any help.

 

I found a gazillion posts about removing genders and dob but not address... I would like that in the checkout_payment there is a form to input the address manually and not getting it from the database. But the name and e-mail address still getting it from the database. That way a customer only needs to input his address. In my country long form registrations are a real turn off to customers, besides they are paranoid about security, thus making them input their address manually and not save any personal information is some peace of mind for them.

 

Thanks

As osCommerce relies on the address book and customers logic this would require significant changes to the account pages and checkout procedure.

 

So if you are willing to spend the next few days on hardcore coding - go ahead.

 

There is no contribution I am aware of that handles this.

 

But I could be wrong.

why ? can't it be done like this...

 

in the checkout_payment.php it doesn't get any addreess data

instead there is a form which passes variables to checkout_confirmation.php... what i mean is this

 

checkout_confirmation.php must get it's address from somewhere before the processing... so why not instead of getting the address from the database it simply gets it from the php post of checkout_payment.php

 

As you can see the logic about how it should be done i know it... only thing i don't is where i should put the address text fields so people can fill it in. I also need to know WHERE in checkout_confirmation.php it gets the address data so i can replace that to get the data from the php post.

 

also i tried to edit general.php so it gets the e-mail address aswell but no luck so far. In my opinion it is getting the email but i don't know where i should edit it so it display it under the NAME in the delivery address bit.

 

Thanks
