Customer Registration Requirements

First I would like to say how much nopComm, the team, and the forums kick a$$!

My question pertains to the required fields of the Customer Registration form. We do not wish to remove fields just the requirement to enter data for:

street address
city
post code
telephone number

...any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Look at \Modules\CustomerRegister.ascx file. Just remove not required <asp:RequiredFieldValidator controls

once again Andrei to the rescue!

as always,
Mucho Gusto, amigo!

I basically had the same requirement, and followed your suggestion, but now I get a bunch of JavaScript errors when the registration page loads. Any suggestions?

I may have found a solution myself. Instead of removing or commenting out the RequiredFieldValidator controls for the address fields, I added an enabled="false" to each. This SEEMS to allow the registration to proceed without those fields, and does not create JS errors on page load.

Does that sound like a reasonable solution?

yes sounds good ,

go ahead.

Isn't just easier to uncheck:
    
'Phone Number' required:   Check Box
  
in the 'Configuration'-'Global Settings'- 'Customer Profiles' ?

That solved it for me.
EXCEPT that it still requires phone number DURING CHECKOUT in Shipping and Billing.
How do I remove 'Validation Required' there?

Also in the 'Update Address Book Entry' form in the 'Store' - 'My Account' - 'Customer Addresses'
Phone Number is 'REQUIRED' How do I set to NOT be Required

Also, The Administrator can Remove the Customer Phone # from Billing/Shipping info with no validation required, but the customer is Required to enter a phone number if they edit/modify their Billing/Shipping address info.

The fields on the address edit page use the controls SimpleTextBox.ascx and EmailTextBox.ascx, which both have validation. An easy way to have fields without validation is to duplicate these controls and rename the new files (e.g. SimpleTextBoxNoValidation.ascx), then remove the validation. After that just apply these controls to the fields you want to have no validation.
