Account Creation - How To Changre 'required Information'?

[MickeyFinn6999]

Hi all,

 

First of all, please accectp my apologies. I am sure this has been covered many times before but I just cannot find any threads when I have searched.

 

I would like to change which information is required when filling in the account creation form. For example, as default a Date of Birth is required.

 

I want this to be optional basically!

 

Many thanks

Thanks but that isnt exactly what I am after - that removes the whole input box. I want my users to have the option whether they put in the information or not.

 

For example, the 'Fax Number' option is there, but it is not required and the user does not have to fill in the information.

The code can be changed to behave that way but it's not an easy change. The settings I mentioned are used througout the shop and admin. If you have them marked as required and chang the code in create_account.php to not require it, you will break other parts of the shop. And if you make is so it is optional, the other code won't look at it since it is not required.
