Newbie... PWA & removing required fields?

[diribarren]

Hey I am very new at this but got my site working/running and now trying to improve it.

 

First I want the customer to be able to pay without making an account with me. I keep finding talk about this PWA (I assume an addon) but cannot find this addon.... I only find discussions about it! Can anyone help me. Where do I get this addon??

 

Then.... I want to remove the required fields in the "My Account" ... where the customer creates an account. Not remove the field itself but remove the "requirement for these fields ... * ".

 

FYI--- In my admin tool it says I have OScommerce 2.2 RC2.

 

I did see where someone said to go to catalog/includes/application_top.php and edit out the requirement on the fields by changing the following to false:

 

define('ACCOUNT_GENDER', true);

define('ACCOUNT_DOB', true);

define('ACCOUNT_COMPANY', true);

define('ACCOUNT_SUBURB', true);

define('ACCOUNT_STATE', true);

 

but I do not see anything like this in that file (gawd I wish I had... this would be so easy)!!

 

PLEASE HELP!!!

THANK YOU!

PWA stands for : Purchase Without Account, and can be found here

Thanks! However I went to login admin->configuration->customer details first and not all the fields are listed. Only:

 

Title Value Action

Gender false

Date of Birth false Info

Company false Info

Suburb false Info

State false Info

 

I still have the following showing up as required (I only need their name and email address to be required):

 

Your Address

Street Address: *

Post Code: *

City: *

Country: *

Your Contact Information

Telephone Number: *

OOPS ... that posted before I was finished!

 

Anyway ... I think you can see what I am looking for here! I can not find any of this in the account.php file either or I don't know what I am looking for. I have looked through all the files I can and just don't see where these fields are being set to be required at.

 

Thanks on the location of PWA!!!

 

I will look at that next. I would like to resolve the mystery of required fields first!

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
