webnet Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thank you for your concern in regards to my business records... I've been doing business for a little over 20 years now and I have pretty good idea of what may or may not be required by law when it comes to keeping records. I didn't purchase the software for the purpose that many others do and I don't need alot of the information that appears to be required on the user sign up form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexalex Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 You should be able to alter these or at worst insert some dummy info nad hide the fields all together from the client. IF you areusing this for a non hosting business there are a lot of things that you wont be able to change that are pretty much mean for a hosting business from what i can see. LIke i dont even see a simple way to add more fields to the order status its either pending, fraud, accepted ect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The business is a membership site that has already gathered the necessary address, phone, etc from my members. I purchased WHMCS to provide a free hosting option for my paid members. They have already paid and signed up for their membership and I just want to use WHMCS to let my current members use the free hosting option if they want. I don't want to add anything to this form but If it's required in order to set up a hosting account I would at least like to eliminate some of the information my members have already provided. If they could just enter a username, password and email addess I would be happy... Does anyone know the name of the exact file that I would need to edit to make this happen? Is there a way to avoid the form all together? Thanks in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyhosting Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi would it not be just a case of removing the unwanted fields from the clientregister.tpl in the template you are using Thanks for the reply...

Solstice Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 If this is for a membership based site, then I'd assume you already have some sort of database & login system; would it not just be easier in the long run to have a SSO (Single Sign On) Module created (if there's not one already) to bridge both systems? This would make it much easier on your users, as then there's only one login for them to remember, not 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddog Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Removing fields from the templates won't work. The fields are required therefore won't be completed by the user. On submission the form will say the information is incomplete with no way to complete it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddog Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 You need to edit the template and enter something in the the field Value="" for the field you want to hide then make the field hidden. see http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?t=26842&highlight=registration+fields 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oderland-david Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 You could also go with the API call and make your own registration page from scratch with just the fields you want. http://wiki.whmcs.com/API:Add_Client 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
