removing login info

It there any way to remove the require fields of registration. All what I want to have it is e-mail address.I do not need the name and address,phone#
Thanks

this is all required info for zen.
it can be made not required but how do you distinguish customers.

I sell photos only by download.E-mail it is fine. I do not need any more personal info.

As a matter of fact I do not even need the login.Can the zencart be set to not ask for login info?
Simple set up. Customer come in, choose to buy, go through paypal,return and download the file.No login require.No personal info require.
Need help with this. I look at few php and seems that a lot of php are linked to login. Just do not know which one to "wipe-out". :unsure:
Thanks

no this is not possible at this time
zen cart requires login

Hi! :lookaroun

I also do not require the login feature as the customer's contact information already exists within another application in the accounting system.

I would like to change a couple of things on the login Billing Information, though.

Is it possible to change the Billing Information at all?

"Address Details" to say "Shipping Address Details" and Country to say "Canada", not United States as it does now.

"Telephone" to say "Home Telephone" and "Fax Number" to say "Work Telephone".

Also I want to add a box for "Additional Shipping Information".

Is any of this at least possible?

Thank-you!
Angie

I have a similar issue...I need to ADD radio buttons and a text box on payment page...any help greatlyappreciated...

We need help on this on from someone who really know how this software works. this is the togh one.

Ok,
zen cart requires an account to be created, no way around that.

as for renaming things yes can be done in the languages file for create_account and login.php

additional shipping information is added during checkout.

you can use the admin configuration
its in customer details.
set default to Canada

I also would like to remove some of the required fields, in my case just the phone number as I feel it's rather intrusive to ask for someone's phone. I've found a workaround of this problem -- in the Admin area, select Configuration > Minimum Values. For whatever field you wish not to require your users to enter, edit that and delete the number, leaving it blank. So instead of a number of characters, just leave it blank.

This is a workaround in that your users will be able to proceed without entering anything into that field. The only problem is the the red star that indicated "required" still appears. I'll bet there is a way to edit this out in the html doc though. Any ideas?

In includes -> languages -> english.php find the following:

define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', '*');

remove the * leaving the single quotes

define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT', '');

save the modified file to includes -> languages -> YOUR_TEMPLATE -> english.php and upload it to your server.

You can not have blank or you get 1064 at line 11. I allready try that. Min value can not have 0 or less.

**Clydejones that works. You are good. I just left require for 1st name and e-mail/password.Good enough as I do not ship and do not want to ask too many unneccessery question.I do value people privacy. Thanks
:thumbsup: **

this thread is very helpful, thanks to solve my problem!

this has helped me out too. SO thanks!

But is there anyway of removing the fields all together?

other else i do it manually.
they are all stay in the includes/templates/[CUSTOM_TEMPLATE]/templates folder

be sure you backup before.

Requiring a login account to place an order by credit card is one of the few problems I have with Zen Cart. Everything else has been great so far, but I don't want to force customers to have an online "account" that they don't want.

I def think that it would be a great contribution is someone could make zen temp. register an ip addres like some stores. instead of having to have an account made.. The account thing does not bother me at this moment though. I was talking to a programer that lives by me and he is making a online store from stracth and he is using something to do with the customers ip and mac address to identify customers temporarly, to hold the information for the shooping cart. (what they ordered).. I dont know I just thought I would put my Two cents in this too.
Zen is the best anyways and will always be. Keep up the good work.

Allow me to rant a little here.

Those of you who are, IMHO, trying to "dummy down" ZenCart need to stop and think a bit.

If all you want is someone to buy something and leave, go to PayPal and they will make a button for you to put in some HTML on a web page. Voila! Shopping Cart!

"I don't want people to have to register." And you never want them to return? :shocking: You never have a sale? Special Promotion? The PayPal option works for you too.

You don't need phone numbers? How in *#$( do you contact a credit card purchaser with a wrong card expiration date and a mistyped email address?!?:ohmy:

"Let's just go by IP address." Fine, which one would you like me to give you? Name one and I can present it to you. (#*#, I can just anonymously surf and you won't get one at all!

I bet some of you actually have a radio and air conditioning in you car! If you're looking for a bicycle, ZenCart AIN"T IT!

The presentation of products can be done in many ways. Some in this forum will attest to the fact that CSS is kicking their rear. However, they are here for the tracking, reports, client interaction, and kick-### features provided to them FREE by the devs. If all you want is the presentation, click here.

Hmmm....calm down.

The business I'm doing this cart for only has 20-30 products and they don't want to make people sign up for an account. They hate how every web site makes you "sign up" and want their cart to be more like jcpenny.com or one of those other sites that allows you to order without creating an account.

Having a feature like that is not a way to "dummy down" Zen Cart, it's a way to improve it.

Also, PayPal is fine if you want to donate some money or buy something on eBay, but it's not a very professionial looking option for a business.
