Account details modifying

[alexflasher]

Hi! Is it possible to change customer details? For example, I need to remove country, postal code, fax from account creation form. May be there is special addon for it?

I do not know of an add-on for this.

 

The country code is used in delivery and tax calculations so it is not a good idea to remove it.

 

You could set default values and hide the fields.

 

You could stop various fields from being mandatory.

 

Enjoy.

Can you give me some hints on how to set default values and hide the fields? In admin panel I only see:

Gender, Date of Birth, Company, Suburb, State

I'd add an extra record to the config file for each field to be hidden.

 

Then update create account.php using the code for hiding gender as a template. (There are 5 or 6 places)

 

e.g.

 

if (ACCOUNT_GENDER == 'true') {

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['gender'])) {

$gender = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['gender']);

} else {

$gender = false;

}

}

 

to

 

if (ACCOUNT_FAX == 'true') {

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['fax'])) {

$fax = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['fax']);

} else {

$fax = false;

}

}

 

Take it slowly and do one field at a time and test between each one.

 

Enjoy

Thank you helping me!

I'd add an extra record to the config file for each field to be hidden.

What is a name of that file, where is it placed and what have you add there? Is it something about:

ACCOUNT_FAX = 'false'

???
