"Add customer via admin"

[bigbadboy]

I'm using 'add customers through admin' and want to turn off the 'required' for an address.

All customers are created via admin, ie not self signing up and the address field isn't required at this stage.

I tried changing the minimum values to 0 but that didn't do it.
I tried editing the add_customer.php file but still nothing.

Thanks in advance.

B,
....... Developers Tool Kit

The Developers Tool Kit in Admin/ Tools is a great help for tasks such as these.

admin panel/ tools/ developers tool kit
1. In the bottom box (left hand corner) enter in your distinctive Search wording.
A. In you case I would search for *
2. Click the drop down menu under All Files Look-ups: Choose: All Files-Catalog/Admin
3. Click search, and WALA, you will find the files associated with this search.
4. Open that file in a good text editor and change the Wording, or eliminate it leaving only the two single quotes ''.
5. The two single quotes '' must always stay.

Thanks for the reply.
This only produced a big list of files with * in.

What I want to do is turn off the requirement for an address.
The same way that, for example, you can -
configuration > customer details - Date of Birth - set to 'false'.

includes/ templates/ your_template_name/ templates/ tpl_modules_create_account.php

1. Search for this:

2. <label class="inputLabel" for="street-address"><?php echo ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS; ?></label>
     <?php echo zen_draw_input_field('street_address', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_street_address', '40') . ' id="street-address"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
   <br class="clearBoth" />

3. Comment out the line

I used the Developers Tool Kit and searched for ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_TEXT which I found when I searched for *

1. your first search is not only the answer

Again, I don't think I am making this clear enough, sorry.

I don't want to remove the field, I need the address fields to be accessible, just not a required element when signing up a new customer.

Thanks again but this still doesn't sort it.
It's totally correct in what it states, and thanks for pointing it out.

The problem, I think is with the 'add customers via admin' contrib. It seems to use other files than the standard. I need to go through all the files associated with it and try and work it out from there.
