Customer telephone required?

[tammyt]

Can I turn off or remove the requirement for the customer's telephone number in the account creation? My products are all virtual and I really don't have a need for the number.

Thanks!

T,
Yes you can, you half to edit two files

1. admin panel/ configuration/ minimum values
A. set this to 0
2. this will make a little adjustment
3. If you do not want it to show you will half to edit the english.php

Just an update:
If you want to totally remove the Telephone & Fax Lines from the Customer Registration:

includes/ templates/ your_custom_template/ template/ tpl_modules_create_account.php

Find the following:

<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_PHONE_FAX_DETAILS; ?></legend>
<label class="inputLabel" for="telephone"><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('telephone', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, 'customers_telephone', '40') . ' id="telephone"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

<?php
  if (ACCOUNT_FAX_NUMBER == 'true') {
?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<label class="inputLabel" for="fax"><?php echo ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('fax', '', 'id="fax"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<?php
  }
?>
</fieldset>

Just copy and delete the code from the .php file

1. Save
2. ftp back up on the server
