How to edit Sign Up Page?


Guest

Hi guys

 

I'd like to know if anyone can tell me how I can edit the sign up page for customers or if they know of a resource that tells you. I'd like to cull a lot of the info to make it easier for people to sign up but I don't want to just go deleting fields and killing something :)

There is a cetrain amount you can change via admin / configuration / customers, depends on what you want to remove

Thanks nic

 

I've taken off everything I can using the admin area but I'd also like to change the position of the "Company" field to be above (and in the same box as) the personal details like First Name etc and remove the telephone number/fax number fields entirely.

 

You can view the sign up page here: http://www.modelbits.co.uk/create_account.php

Hi Chris

 

Thanks for the reply. That seems to be a lot to go through to get shot of some fields from a form, I think I'll leave that as a last resort; can I do it more easily by editing the page itself?

 

I'm fairly confident editing the pages directly but I don't really want to get into changing the core page code if you know what I mean. Or do you know if there's a version of this that won't require me to compare all those files as I really, really don't want to get it wrong ;-)

 

Regards, Matt

What are you trying to remove for the page Matt?

Hi Nic

 

I'm trying to move the "Company" field to be above the "Name" fields and I'm trying to delete the telephone and fax section entirely as it's not needed.

Doing the telephone number will not only have an impact on this page but will also impact on all of the account pages.

To move the company code is easy you just copy and paste it to the location you want it to show, the fax number is not required so it can easily be removed.

The telephone number is required, so my advice would be to set its required length to a 0 in admin / configuration / minimum values this will not make it throw an error when nothing is entered.

Then comment out or remove the code from the sign up page.

You can also make it a hidden field with a defult value but doing so this way will throw errors on the account edit pages should a customer change anything.

Another way perhaps it to set the minimum value to 0 and remove the required text with along side its box with optional instead.

Matt,

 

Unfortunately, to make ANY changes in OSC you will need to edit core code on a regular basis.
