You can search this site using the search box at the top for many of the questions and read the pinned items and the wiki also.

the settings that can be controlled are in the admin > customer details

Have Fun...

The settings that can't be "controlled," and need to be hard-modified, are located in (IIRC):

includes/languages/english.php
includes/modules/create_account.php
includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php
includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_account_edit_default.php

Only the last two are amenable to the override system.

While you're whacking away at the PHP, you might as well hit:

admin/customers.php

... as well. It's purely cosmetic (you know what fields you're not requiring) but having a bunch of blank fields labeled '* Required' is disconcerting.

I think that's all; corrections welcome, of course.

Good luck.

LEP:

includes/languages/english.php

includes/modules/create_account.php

includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php

includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_account_edit_default.php

Only the last two are amenable to the override system.

Larry, actually ALL those files are "amenable to the override system":

includes/languages/CUSTOM/english.php
includes/modules/CUSTOM/create_account.php
includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php
includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_account_edit_default.php

By gosh, you're right; I didn't know that. I thought only the stuff in includes/templates could be overwritten. Ya' learn somethin' new every day if you pay attention.

Tnanks!
