Receive offers from partners locking process

[rnervi]

PS 1.7.6.8

if "receive offers from out partner" is switch off from backoffice, customer record process goes in crash with annexed code. If this feature is ON it works fine.

questions:
- how to fix this ? (no feature, no  stops)

- or how to remove it from frontend and of course has it self checked....

I've too was hit with that. I'm rather newbie in Presta customization/fixing but what I've do:

1) Edited /public_html/classes/form/customerFormatter.php and set corresponding optin function to always set 'ask for' variable to false - note that this is probably not needed after step 2 - you might want to start there.
2) Deleted entry in database table _required_field - I've had only one entry that was corresponding to optin field being required! This is actually the cause for exception in ObjectModelCore->validateFields function.
