Company Name is Required field?!?!

Im wondering why the company name is a requierd field durring the account signup process....

is it possable to make this field not required, i get alot of customers that say they dont have a company, and they are asked to fill in the field, also dont show any "*" on that line, stating that the field is actualy required to sign up...

anyone have any info on this...

thanks zennerz.

I think all you have to do is set it to 0 characters in Admin > minimum

Correct. This was announced here:

sorry..... i must have blazed right by it...

Me too, but got it now

But how to get rid of the star telling it is a required field?

The * is nothing more than a peice of text ...

To remove that text you need to override the language file:
/includes/languages/english.php

Using your overrides directory:
/includes/languages/your_template_dir/english.php

A search on:
'*'

Will find them all in that file ...

Set them to '' and you will not see the * on the login/create account pages to indicate required fields ...

When I set mine to "0", the star disappeared. Is your star still displaying even after you set the Min to "0" ?

DogTags, if that's true, then you have some sort of customization installed to make that happen. The default Zen Cart behaviour requires manual edits to remove the *.

I gave the Min a value greater than zero again, but the asterisk is not there. I must have tweaked it but forgot. Sorry for my pointless entry.....dang :(

The asterik is nothing more than a peice of text in the language file ...

Take a peek at the:
ENTRY_COMPANY_TEXT

Hint ... might peek in the english.php for that one ... :cool:
