anyone know what to do? should i delete stuff in the tpl file? i don't want it to mess anything up with the database or the process of storing stuff in the db

1. Go into your admin.
2. Under configuration, find customer details.
3. Turn off what you don't want

kinda hard if it's not there huh? that's why i'm asking for help on this.
maybe you should check your own admin > config > customer details
and see what's there and not there

Gender = email salutation
Street Address = Company name & address line 2
There are also fields for fax, state and country.

You can turn the rest off in minimum values.

You can apologize later.

hmmm thanks but not everything i need.
i already turned minimum values to 0 before i posted but the fields are still there.
i'll figure it out.
thanks anyway tho

i'll post the code for the new tpl file when i'm done

[xbboychink]

First go to minimum values in admin > config > minimum values
set what you want optional or don't want at all to 0

i went to includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php
So all i did was delete the labels and feilds for the fieldset labeled "additional contact details" and deleted all the fields and labels for what i didn't want displaying.

to get rid of the asteriks i deleted the span class="alert" for whatever asteriks i didn't want. you can find this in the code easily.

This is my new code:

That is EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks so much!

xxbb had you bothered to look in the right place

admin -> configuration -> customer details


you would see

Email Salutation false
Date of Birth false
Company false
Address Line 2 true
State true



and the rest on down the line....


the neat thing about this page is that you can turn the things that you dont want OFF just by flipping the switch to false



once again you can apologize to AFO after your done
