Login - registration form validation problem

[Blackguard]

Hello,

The javascript validation forces the company field to contain at least two characters (strangely the alert box only shows a *, with no error message - but that's not the main issue).

I don't want to force users to fill in the company field, it is not marked as required anyway.

I have been looking through the files for a while but can't find where the code called in index.php?main_page=login is situated. I want to correct the code so that it does not generate an alert if the company field is empty.

I'm looking through the form_check.js.php file but so far I'm under the impression I won't need to change any of the validation code, just the call to validation functions in the appropriate file.

Thanks for any help,
JM

More information:

When I look through the form_check.js.php I don't see any validation code for the company field, but when I view source on the login page, I do

{ check_input("company", 2, ""); } // which by the way explains the lack of an error message.

Still looking! Any help much appreciated.

Ah! Interestingly there is another form checker in the pages/login folder, jscript_form_check.php with this bit:

<?php if (ACCOUNT_COMPANY == 'true' && (int)ENTRY_COMPANY_MIN_LENGTH != 0) echo ' check_input("company", ' . ENTRY_COMPANY_MIN_LENGTH . ', "' . ENTRY_COMPANY_ERROR . '");' . "\n"; ?>

I think I'm getting closer! I bet you the answer is very simple and a click away in admin...

Yes! Silly problem solved in admin: configuration -> minimum values.

I hope this was entertaining :)
