Remove user input fields from 'add new contact' form

[peto]

Hi, I'm trying to remove some input fields from the "Add new contact" page, so that the client who wants to add a contact doesnt have to write things as addresses or postcodes.

 

So, I'm editing clientareaaddcontact.tpl to achieve this and, to reduce the problem dimension, im just trying to remove the client address per now. I've tried several changes but when I try to add a new contact (logged as a client), I submit the form and then it leads me to the contact managing page, but the contact isn't added and no error message appears.

 

I've tried to edit these lines:

 

<tr>
 <td class="fieldarea">{$LANG.clientareaaddress1}</td>
 <td><input type="text" name="address1" value="{$contactaddress1}" size="25" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td class="fieldarea">{$LANG.clientareaaddress2}</td>
 <td><input type="text" name="address2" value="{$contactaddress2}" size="25" /></td>
</tr>

 

Replacing them with hidden input fields:

 

<input type="hidden" name="address1" value="NULL"/>
<input type="hidden" name="address2" value="NULL" />

 

And replacing them with normal but unrendered text fields:

 

<input style="display: none" type="text" name="address1" value="NULL"/>
<input style="display: none" type="text" name="address2" value="NULL" />

 

And none of these 2 solutions seems to work. It has something to do with the validation i think, because im just commenting the company name field (a non required input field) from the form and the contact gets added.

 

Any idea of this?

 

Thanks in advance
