Hi,
There are a few posts which touch on this and also tell you how to make other fields optional. I will try and explain how to make 'Telephone Number optional' as it seems to come up quite often and will leave a one stop solution for this.
First, in the admin area of your site, go to Configuration -> Minimum Values. Here you will be able to change the default for Telephone Number from 3 to 0, hence making it optional.
Now to tidy this up, you need to manually remove the '*' from the account creation page. To do this, you need to ammend the following file:
includes/languages/english.php
You will see the following entry:
PHP Code:
define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', '*');
and replace with:
PHP Code:
define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', ' ');
That should then be Job Done!
I hope this helps
