    help question new customer registration fields

    I have been seacrchin and reading but still I do not get it the way I would like it.

    In the customer tregistration there are many fields.

    For my download products the only required information is Mail adress en password, Maybe a nickname would be OK also
    the rest is optional. (They may enter it but it is just for my statistics)

    Now what I did is:

    in config minimum values I set all values above password at 0 exept for mail adres and nickname.
    In customer details I just have state false.


    I filled in the registration form and only filled in mailadress an password. I do not see nickname.

    I see all those fields with the red star for required And I want that only where really requitred.

    what the result when i submit is:
    A popup saying that first name, lastname, streetadress, zipcode and cyty must contain an minimum of 0 characters
    (telephone and DOB are OK when not filled in?)
    The country is default set at a value so that is no problem;)


    Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

    Default Re: new customer registration fields

    Thinking this over some more an d really searching for hours and trying all possible search entiers I can think of as not native English person.
    I read all the remarks about all the registration field beeing somehow required for the operation of zencart as it is now.
    (soory I am selling stock photo's of all kind (using paypal buttons) on CD now en there is a part (not ****) that I heared from some users the would like to buy but hey do not want to expose private details for sending the CD. SO I want to build a download shop for them.

    I am thinking on the folowing solution for me.
    Can it be done to preset all the fields that are not required with some dummy strink like '---' or 'not required' and remove the asterixes showing that you have to fill iin that field.
    Then I coul just set the length of non essential l fields to say 2 chars and leave all like it is.

    Can this be done? How can I do that?
    Can someone help me with this.

    I have a similar problem.

    I want to make the "State" field not required, since many of my customers are going to be from Europe.

    Can anyone help with this?

    Thank you, Miran

    I guess, I found the solution for my problem. I didn't test it yet.

    Hi Mriran
    I think I got it working for almost any field I would like to have removed.
    It requieres teh change of a few(4?) files but I do not recall from hand which files and where they are.
    Maybe later at home I might find it I have a doc where I put some of the notes on my modifications:)

    It would be really great Bert if you could find that doc.

    I still didn't manage to make these changes.

    Thank you in advance, Miran

    I could find teh files I changed,

    That is for a start.
    /webshop/includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php
    /webshop/includes/modules/CUSTOM/create_account.php

    /webshop/includes/modules/pages/login/jscript_form_check.php

    /webshop/includes/modules/pages/create_account/jscript_form_check.php

    I have to finish some work on the versions I gonna use on the shop and I put comments where I changed shing so that might help but firts want to do some testing on it.
    I had it already working on my test server last week But that was not complete yet.
    I you need it I will try to fix that asap. (I am now busy working on galeries and can work around most of the problems I had via express checkout:))
    So my priorities shifted a bit to my needs.

    But for stet it is easy:)

    State false State - Always display as pulldown? false Create Account Default Country ID Germany Fax Number falsein admin configuration customer details
