admin>configuration>customer details

nope...sorry, tried that.

the issue i have is when someone clicks on ''notify me of product updates''...it takes them into a create account page.

it asks for country- everything actually..

i only want it to ask for name and email.

any ideas?

anyone?

Re: reduce fields in create account page

At this time you only have the full create account. You might be able to adapt one of the Subscription add-ons.

Re: reduce fields in create account page

Hi iv managed to get rid of some of the fields on the create account page (iv left the ones i need)

http://unikids.splay.co.uk/zencart/index.php?main_page=login

but when they click submit..the error message "PLEASE SELECT YOUR COUNTRY FROM THE DROP DOWN LISt"

Iv deleted the drop down list as i dont need it, but how can i let customers submit the form?

iv made a search i the delevlopers tool kit for the error message..

/home/vjain/public_html/unikids/zencart/includes/languages/english.php
Line #463 : define('ENTRY_COUNTRY_ERROR', 'You must select a country from the Countries pull down menu.');

But when i open the file..its not even in there??? :blink:

Re: reduce fields in create account page

It's in there. I was able to find it. There are country error messages defined around lines 194 and 242.

A word of warning. You should NOT be editing includes/languages/english.php. You should copy includes/languages/english.php into includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE and english.php there.

Re: reduce fields in create account page

:-( were you able to find the line 'You must select a country from the Countries pull down menu.???

iv made a search for that statement in the developers tool kit and it comes across as the english.pp file

/home/vjain/public_html/unikids/zencart/includes/languages/english.php

Line #455 : define('ENTRY_STATE_ERROR_SELECT', 'Please select a state from the States pull down menu.');

Line #463 : define('ENTRY_COUNTRY_ERROR', 'You must select a country from the Countries pull down menu.');

but i cant seem to find that line?

as you stated i should edit the english.php in my template...i have made a folder in public_html/unikids/zencart/includes/languages/blue_sky/english.php

and editing that now..is that ok???
