Required fields for creating an account.

[Guest]

I would like to remove the DOB field, and the Gender questions from my create account screen. B4 I make any changes I want to make sure I am doing this correctly. I would want to remove some code in /var/www/html/includes/form_check.js.php and in /var/www/html/create_account.php and : /var/www/html/create_account_process.php. Is there were I would remove all the text for DOB and Gender? If so what exactly has to be removed? can I just comment stuff out?

 

Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

 

You would remove these field in the admin under configuration, customer details.

 

Some help docs:

These are all marked to False. And it is still coming up when you try to create an account.

Also check for those settings in either your includes/configure.php or includes/application_top.php (do a search for gender).

 

Some of the older versions while having the Admin options still used the settings from the include files instead.

 

If that is not the case, then check you account_edit.php and create_account.php files to see if the Gender and DoB fields are preceded by if (ACCOUNT_GENDER) or if (ACCOUNT_DATE_OF_BIRTH) blocks.

Well this is what I had to change in application_top.php. Gender was set to True and so was DOB. That worked like a dream Now were does this put it on the screen so if I want to change the order of them?

 

// Control what fields of the customer table are used

 define('ACCOUNT_GENDER', 'False');

 define('ACCOUNT_DOB', 'False');

 define('ACCOUNT_COMPANY', 'true');

 define('ACCOUNT_SUBURB', 'true');

 define('ACCOUNT_STATE', 'true');

Hi,

 

You must have an old store. It would be better if you got 2.2ms1.

 

Those details are listed on the catalog/includes/modules/account_details.php page.

 

This page has been removed in the development snapshot and the logic put into another page.

Actually, the contents of the account_details.php page have been moved into the create_account.php and account_edit.php pages in the newest CVS versions.

Thanks Jim!

 

I knew I read it somewhere but couldn't find where they had been moved.

hmmmmmmm....weird!

 

well i've read this thread 5 times now but it still doesn't solve that "required fields" problem for me.

 

 

i just want to remove the whole ADRESS, PHONE and FAXNUMBER and NEWSLETTE block.

 

this means that the customer only has to input his name, email birthdate dan password.

 

 

is there anyone who can help me with that??

 

 

and....why isn't it possible to set these things in der admin console?? would be helpful :D

I've got to figure this out as well. I'll let you know as soon as I find anything.

in catalogincludesform_checks.js.php

 

I commented out the lines for the fields i did not want to be required, for example Date of Birth:

 

# if (dob == '' || dob.length < <?php echo ENTRY_DOB_MIN_LENGTH; ?>) {

# error_message = error_message + "<?php echo JS_DOB; ?>";

# error = 1;

# }

 

(if you dont know PHP, the pound sign comments out the line of code)

 

this lets a user sign up without entering their DOB, however it still says "required" on the sign up page. Does anyone know where I can change that? I can't find any files containing the string "required".

 

Thanks! :shock:

I found where to remove the "required" text. It's in catalogincludeslanguagesenglish.php
