Removing the requirement of telephone/fax number during registration

[textbook]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know how I can completely all together remove the "Telephone Number" and "Fax Number" fields on the "Create an Account" page?

(Is is possible to just open one of the files and just delete some the required text?)

 

The option for Telephone and Fax Number is not in the "Customer Details" section of my admin.

 

I downloaded and installed one of the contributions for this but it made my template look all distorted.

 

Please help.

 

Thank you.

You could set the minimum length for tel no to 0 using the shop admin area.

 

Then edit create_account.php to not display the fields you do not want

 

<!--

<tr>

<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER; ?></td>

<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('fax') . ' ' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>

</tr>

-->

 

That should start you off......

 

Try the html section of www.w3schools.com for more info.

Thanks a lot! It worked great.

 

I got it to remove the 'Telephone Number' and "Fax Number" fields.

 

The only thing left is the line, "Your Contact Information".

 

Do you know how I can remove this?

 

I searched in 'create_account.php' but I can't seem to find it.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help with this little mod. I am a little stuck though, as when you take out the section in this folder it still leaves the folder and CONTACT_INFORMATION.

 

Any ideas how to remove that also?
