chfields Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I can't find where to go to to change the required fields for people setting up a new account. I thought it would be in admin, but there's nothing there for that. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 A bit more informatiom would be helpful....Like which fields you want to change, etc. None of us read minds. :) Also there is a search function available for the forums....Might want to give it a try. I'll even give you a hint to make it work better..... Put your search string inside a pair of asterisks. Example: *my search string* . Then be sure to click "search ALL terms". You will absolutely be amazed at what you will find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I having a problem with MS1 in making the State field show up on the create account or edit account areas... nothing in application_top.php like there used to be. I've searched and searched... what's the trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Brad, You should be able to turn it on in the admin under configuration>Customer Details>State, switch it to true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Unfortunately that is the problem.. the Customer Details link isn't showing up... this was a mid Jan snapshot but upgraded to MS1 and other than the order status issue (which I already fixed in the db) this is my last hurdle. I am trying to figure out now where the diff is in the db... I'll gladly take pointers. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Look at the configuration and configuration_groups tables in the dB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 FIXED: Created a configuration.sql and configuration_group.sql file with the table create/drop and the field commands and ran em both. Insto presto Customer Details option and all is well again. Thanks for the pointers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chfields Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 For instance, I have it set that date of birth is required. How do I set that so it is not required. I set these during install but don't know where to change them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greree Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Why not just get rid of it entirely? It's generally a good idea to get rid of the fields that you don't need. The more complicated the sign up procedure is the more people will not sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chfields Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 I also want to make other fields required like country, state,etc and make some fields not required, like DOB, etc...Is there a way to configure or edit that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greree Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I tried once. It didn't work out very well. If , for instance, you made DOB not required, some people would enter a DOB and some wouldn't. About a dozen pages use that information, so if the customer didn't fill it in you would either get an error on the page or it would automatically fill in 11/30/2036 as a date of birth. If you made Gender not required, and the customer didn't fill it in, it would assign the gender as female. What I did was leave the required fields as required, but change the information it was looking for. For instance, instead of "Gender" I have "Title", and instead of "Male" and "Female" I have "Mr." , "Ms." , and "None". Instead of DOB I have "Over 18?" and "Yes" or "No". The code is written so that if the field is displayed it MUST have an imput. I just changed what the imput is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
