Simple and Easy 2 Question Create Account Page

[pricediscrimination]

Are they to be able to see things in the cart (store is what I mean) before creating an account? If able to see product wthout logging in, are they able to see prices?

At this time, unable to see prices, and unable to add anything to the cart without logging in. However, despite the current settings, still need customers to be able to create account with limited (email/pw) info. This gives the feeling of being part of the site, collects email, yet without overdoing it with personal info requests.

As more sites strive to build a user base, the faster the account creation the better.

That then is a totally dfferent animal. If not going to allow "seeing the store" until some form of an account is created (which in my opinion is a deterent to begin with) then there is another plugin that can minimize the account credentials needed to create an account. Thus with the store setup to see product only once logged in, then the minimal information to create an account can be controlled.

Perhaps: minimum customer account information? https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1465

This is different than what the original post suggested which was about the checkout process, not the visitation of the site authorization process...

My apologies for not getting the idea down on paper the right way, thank you so much for being patient until I could explain it

The plugin you referenced now says "ALERT: This module has been replaced by All-Products-Virtual-no-Shipping" this concerns me because I actually do need to collect shipping info.

Maybe this isn't as complicated as I am making it, what if I go to tpl_modules_create_account.php and just start removing all the fields except for email and password?

Been a while since I've mucked around wth that aspect, but n a way, yeah that is something that can be done.. Need to also consider the minimum requirements n the configuration>minimum values secton, as some/most of those fields are checked against that nformation. Otherwise search the plugns... I used the search word of logn, so may try a different word... Also, may still go to the thread for thatplugin to see if others were n the same situaton trying to do the same thing and how they handled it.

Searched all the plugins, nothing. Just "All Products Virtual -- No Shipping" which will go beyond what I need since I need shipping. Also doesn't seem to be a thread for that one.

So I went to hack tpl_modules_create_account.php - edited out all of the create account fields not needed. You're right, also needed to change all other minimum requirements to 0. Almost there! The only thing preventing it from working is the following message:

Please choose a salutation.
You must select a country from the Countries pull down menu.

Now I am also concerned that they might checkout without updating the address. So I would need a way to direct them to their address book when trying to checkout. But hey, one thing at a time, right?

Check the header_php.php file for that page.if not mistaken it contans the validaton check for those items...

As for the back end, that's a separate process/check.can still use COWOA at that point as well... Cart won't allow purchase of an item requirng shipping without a shipping address...

Thank you, trying COWOA for the shipping info during checkout.

In the meantime, the validation check for those items is not in pages > login (or reate_account) > header_php.php

I tried to remove and anything related to country and nothing got rid of the "You must select a country from the Countries pull down menu."
