More control over signup process

[zebathon]

The signup process only has 5 fields defined to display, gender, dob, state, suburb, etc.

 

I want to make Address, Fax, Telephone etc. optional, but then editable later.

 

 

The only contribution i could find was Account Management 1.0 written in 2002. Has anyone gotten this to work recently? or found a better contribution?

The street address, telephone and fax number entries for the customer account setup may be made optional by changing define statements of these fields in includes/languages/english.php:

 

ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_TEXT

ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT

ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER_TEXT

 

If you define these as '' (nothing) the 'required' indicator will not be displayed.

 

Then, in Admin -> Configuration -> Minimum Values, set the Street Address and Telephone number values to zero.

 

That should do it, I believe. Please confirm success or report what happened.

Has anyone tried this successfully?

I just tried it and it works just fine.
