Admin -> ConfigurationAdmin -> Customer Details

[carlost]

I have looked and looked, and looked some more, and I cannot for the life of me find a customer details section to be able to turn off "gender" & "dob".

 

I have searched the forum, and I see how to modify an older version, but I have 2.2

 

I have a downloaded version, and a version installed by cPanel.

 

Any idea of what I am missing here. I'm starting to feel pretty silly that I can't find this simple thing.

 

Thanks in advance.

Customer Details should be the fifth item from the top in the Configuration box. If it truly isn't there, you are missing one or more lines from your database tables. If you haven't modified anything, I would just reinstall the database. If you have made changes, let us know and somebody will post the apropriate SQL to fix your database.

Jim,

 

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

 

It is definetely not there. I have deleted and reinstalled OSCommerce several times. I thought it might be something specific to it being a cPanel automatic installation.

I would recommend installing a fresh copy cause some time the cpanel installation is a 2.1 version

Bear,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

I have never been able to get past setting up the MySQL tables properly, or even at all. This is why I thought I'd try the cPanel hosting, because it's all done automatically. So, at this point, still, I am not able to do a fresh install.

 

Does this mean that v2.1 doesn't have the customer details area under cofiguration in the admin panel?

 

Thanks in advance.

Bear,

 

Thanks again for your response. You are right. Even though the cPanel Installation says v2.2, I looked in the "application_top.php" and found

 

// Control what fields of the customer table are used

define('ACCOUNT_GENDER', 'true');

define('ACCOUNT_DOB', 'true');

define('ACCOUNT_COMPANY', 'true');

define('ACCOUNT_SUBURB', 'true');

define('ACCOUNT_STATE', 'true');

 

which I read elsewhere here was where you change what I wanted to in older versions.

 

So, I believe this will solve my immediate problem.

 

Now I just have to figure this MySQL data base thing out, somehow, so that I can upgrade, as well as modify.
