scdavis74 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Can anyone tell me how to remove the validation of the following fields from the account setup: -Gender -Date of Birth -Telephone # (want to make optional) -Fax # I have figured out how to remove these items from the form by changing their values to 'false' in create_account.php, however when the form is submitted, it still tries to validate these fields. So what I really need to know is how to adjust how OsCommerce validates this form. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You will find the validation at the top of catalog/includes/create_account.php There will be something like: if (strlen(var) < MIN_LENGTH) { $error blah blah } just remove it for those variables. Sorry i don't have the exact code as i'm not in my office. Rob Rob Bell - Inspired Graphix Customising osCommerce in Australia, and the world! View my profile for web and email links.

Your suggestion worked, however with the phone number, I need to leave that there but just make it optional so that it's not being validated. I tried your suggestion with this but it still makes it required. Any suggestions?
