Remove the red * from required fields

[NickOnTheNet]

Hi Forum,

 

It's my first post and I would first like to say a big thanks to all the developers/programmers that have contributed to a great package!!

 

My question:

 

I need to remove the red * from behind a number of input boxes in the various input fields for the address book (new entry, edit entry etc.), where would I find the code that is responsible?

 

Regards....... Nick

to remove the "required fields" required to modify the address_book_process.php file and remove the following code:

if (ACCOUNT_GENDER == 'true') {
  if ( ($gender != 'm') && ($gender != 'f') ) {
	$error = true;

	$messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_GENDER_ERROR);
  }
}

if (strlen($firstname) < ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH) {
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_ERROR);
}

if (strlen($lastname) < ENTRY_LAST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH) {
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_LAST_NAME_ERROR);
}

if (strlen($street_address) < ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_MIN_LENGTH) {
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_ERROR);
}

if (strlen($postcode) < ENTRY_POSTCODE_MIN_LENGTH) {
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_POST_CODE_ERROR);
}

if (strlen($city) < ENTRY_CITY_MIN_LENGTH) {
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_CITY_ERROR);
}

if (!is_numeric($country)) {
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_COUNTRY_ERROR);
}

if (ACCOUNT_STATE == 'true') {
  $zone_id = 0;
  $check_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_ZONES . " where zone_country_id = '" . (int)$country . "'");
  $check = tep_db_fetch_array($check_query);
  $entry_state_has_zones = ($check['total'] > 0);
  if ($entry_state_has_zones == true) {
	$zone_query = tep_db_query("select distinct zone_id from " . TABLE_ZONES . " where zone_country_id = '" . (int)$country . "' and (zone_name = '" . tep_db_input($state) . "' or zone_code = '" . tep_db_input($state) . "')");
	if (tep_db_num_rows($zone_query) == 1) {
	  $zone = tep_db_fetch_array($zone_query);
	  $zone_id = $zone['zone_id'];
	} else {
	  $error = true;

	  $messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_STATE_ERROR_SELECT);
	}
  } else {
	if (strlen($state) < ENTRY_STATE_MIN_LENGTH) {
	  $error = true;

	  $messageStack->add('addressbook', ENTRY_STATE_ERROR);
	}
  }
}

this way you remove all validation of address

What Alex gave you will remove the validation checks -- is that what you wanted, or do you just want to remove the annoying red prompt? Please clarify what you're looking for. What is the purpose of removing this? It's more likely that people will omit necessary information and cause the order process to fail. Are you looking to remove the 'required' on just a few fields (both the code that checks, and the * reminder)?
