New User registration questions.

[david.buckley]

Hi All,

I am in the throes of setting up a new shop. I have some questions relating to the new user registration.

I am using 1.3.7, I have done a clean install, I included the sample data (most of which I have now hidden from view), I have also created my own template to change colours and logos etc, but have not really gone too far into creating bucketloads of overrides yet. If there is any other information needed to help answer my questions please let me know.

1. What is the name of the file that I can edit to change some of the wording in the form?
2. Where should I save the file to bearing in mind that my template name is "cs"?
3. Why are the only salutations that are available "Mr." and "Ms."?
4. Where can I add more, like "Mrs.", "Miss" "Other: <insert text box here>"?

5. I'm also thinking that there may be some more fields that I would want to add too, things that are in the My Account section so no database editing required, but just wondering if there are any reasons not to do this.


I think that this is it for the moment. If there are more then I will post them.

I really hope that someone can help me with this.

Kind regards,

David Buckley.

Sadly the last time I installed Zen-Cart I asked the same question (or search and found the same question), all customers are stored in the database as either Male or Female so the salutation is just Ms or Mr.

My last client was getting a few complaints by offended people when they couldn't put Mrs in there (its important to some people). I effectively told my last client, there was little I could do.

Dont know if anything has changed though.

This is on the List of Things to Do ... but it has not been a priority ...

Right now it stores 0 or 1 in the field ... you can always customize this for more and recode the display ...

Or, if really pressing ... you might post in the Commercial Help Wanted to have a solution written for you ...

However, this always gets sticky as it may or may not work later when we update Zen Cart for this feature ...

You can always just turn that field off too - then no one gets offended because they are not asked the question.

Admin> Configuration> Customer Details

Thanks for the replies.

For the moment I have switched it off, although Linda if you could point me in the direction of where I should look to add more options, that would be awesome.

I knew when I posted this question yesterday I was forgetting something, so here is the question that I forgot.

There are a whole bunch of details that are "Required" is there anywhere sensible that I can switch this on or off on a per field basis?

Kind regards,

David Buckley.

you can turn things to not required by setting the min settings to blank,
then you need to actuallly open the createaccount and login filesand remove the callsto the asterix

as for the adding more,

its alot more complicated than just adding a few linesof code,

trust me tried it

best bet is to just turn it OFF,

would love to see this as a drop down that that can be populated in the admin
