Required Fields

[EscalateSEO]

When new customers go to order a hosting plan they are forced to fill out the registration form. I know how to remove certain fields from the form, but how do I disable them so that they aren't required during registration? If I just remove them from view then the system considers them blank and doesn't allow customers to proceed.

 

I only want the name, email, and password fields to be required. How can I fix this?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can edit the clientregister.tpl file to hide the fields you don't want.

 

Then, change the value attribute to something valid. For example, once you have hidden the telephone number field, you can change it's value to:

 

value="12345"

 

As a result, all clients who register on your website will be able to fill in the fields you want them to fill in, and the other fields will show up in your Admin panel as whatever value you've specified. So your client telephone numbers will all appear as "12345", but the client won't see it.

 

You will also need to edit the client details template file to hide the information you don't need.

So theres no way to set which fields are required on registration and order forms from within Admin or configuration?

You do understand that by not having your client's contact information and having a ToS requiring that the contact information they provide be accurate, you are setting yourself up for a major butt-poking - right?
