removing login info

The bulk of my contribution is just an explanation of how to make the template changes. The actual code to allow optional password was from PaulM. And then after playing around, I figured out how to allow duplicate emails. I don't even feel right calling it "my" contribution. I feel more like I just gathered information for you and zipped it up. :smile:

To make it work, you really only need to edit 3 files, and they are very small edits. Everything else was just changes to the templates, like removing the login fields, password fields, etc. Not a really big deal, but better done on a sample cart first so you can get the idea of whats going on. When it comes down to it, if you are capable of editing tpl files and you understand what you are doing when you make those edits, its really quite simple. And I'm always here to help.

Thanks! we really appreciate it!

I created a new sample cart (locally on my machine), and substituted all the php files you provided, putting them
in the correct folders, and created "custom" folders where necessary with
the new files as well. The template I'm using is called "Custom" and I
chose it via Admin panel.

After all that, it still shows the Login at top left, and the Login link in
the middle....there are no account links, though.

Is that how it should look initially? I just need to know if I'm on the right
track before I can it and start over.

Hello! I'm not sure unless I look at it, which I can't do since its not online. :down:

When you say the login is at the top left, do you mean the top left of the entire site (in a sidebox) or the top left of the login page? And the login link in the middle.... is this on the login page or is this on every page underneath your header? The template changes I provided were basically the template changes I made to my personal site. Everyone will have different changes to make depending on your layout. I do not use the login sidebox or the links underneath the header. These things are turned off in the admin, not edited out in the templates.

Here's a screenshot

I removed these links so early on in my design that I forgot all about them when I put the mod together.

For the top left corner, you can remove/edit those links in includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\common\tpl_header.php (the ones in red) toward the top of the page:

Code:

---

   
<ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php
      } else {
        if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
</ul>

and the for the middle of the page where it says "Welcome Guest..."

I believe that is in admin > config > layout settings > Customer Greeting - Show on Index Page > set to "0"

but don't quote me on that!

...thanks! I'll give it a try asap. :happy:

Goto: includes/languages/CUSTOM/english.php

Edit out the * at line 241

define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', '*');

hi

how do i disable creating an account when a click to "Write a Review" and "Tell A Friend" is made?I just want to go straight to their respective page. How? How? Please help.:frusty:

Don't know right off about write a review BUT,

If you allow visitors to tell a friend without logging in, you are in essence becoming an email relay for anyone who wants to spam the world. Don't be surprised if you show up on a relay server list and emails start disappearing.
