(presently using: v1.5.5a)

I found a thread on this topic, but it wasn't completely answered in a finalized form (that I could understand). What I want to do is make it easier for customers to create an account, using just an email and password. I don't want to ask them for address/billing info unless they actually put something in the cart and go to checkout. This way, a customer could easily leave a review for a product that they purchased in a store, not on the website.

Can anyone help?

CheckOut With Any Account COWAA has register only using name, email and password. Address can be done anytime, but they will have to complete there account during checkout. https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2131

Or you can let anyone do reviews by editing the includes/modules/pages/product_reviews_write/header_php.php file and comment out the requirement for account.

//let anyone do reviews 
/*if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) { 
  $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot(); 
  zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL')); 
} */

Be sure anti-Spam blocks are in place and admin approval is on if you do this edit.
