Remove "Alias" field on signup form

[toimata]

Hello, 

How can i remove "alias" field (wich is optional) on the front customer address form ?

i can't find it on the location / country pay in backoffice page 

Thanks 

cheers,

As long as its the first field in the form (which it is, unless you specifically change it), you can just hide it via CSS:

.address-form .form-group:first-of-type {
  display: none;
}

Hi, 

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Isn't there a simple way to do it from backoffice ?
Why this field is not visible in the country settings with other fields ? 

[w3bsolutions]

You can do it from the back office installing this module to add custom CSS: https://www.sunnytoo.com/download/10901/ and then in the module configuration paste the code I gave you above. 

This is more of a technical field so the customer can give a name to each address in order to distinguish them better (for example "Home", "Work", etc), it is not address-related field, that is why it is not in the country configuration.

Thank you, is it a free plugin ? Is it possible to see a demo ?

Yes it is free, that is the direct download link. Here is the module description: https://www.sunnytoo.com/10750/free-prestashop1-7-custom-code-module-put-custom-css-javascript-google-analytics-code-google-fonts-site-without-editing-files

Ok I see, actually i can edit css by myself, don't need a plugin for that.
However, i believe Prestashop already has a way to remove this field wich is not mandatory.
Where could i find this option ?

 

[w3bsolutions]

There is no option... I have been working with Prestashop for 10+ years, you can believe me...

Ok, thanks a lot !

I used my theme editor to add the css you sent but doesn't work. Even using !important; property

From what I see it did work... seems like you just have to clear your cache. I registered on your site and the field is gone on the form, hidden by the code I gave you

[toimata]

Yes i found it :-) i just renamed the classe addin "js-":

.js-address-form .form-group:first-of-type {
  display: none!important;
}

Thanks a lot !

Sorry to steal this topic, but I am after the same thing.
I did install the CSS module like you suggested and added the code to the first "Custom CSS Code" field.
Nothing seems to happen though.

Also I would like to hide the company an VAT fields. How do I go about that?

Found that one already, but:
Equally the tickbox for "use this address for the invoice too" needs to go.

Have you tried with the code suggested above by @toimata?

.js-address-form .form-group:first-of-type {
  display: none!important;
}

This didn't work for me so i used Js if someone needs it:

Quote

function hideAlias(){
    
    var bodyId = document.body.id;
    var aliasField = document.getElementsByClassName("form-group row ")[0];
    
    if(bodyId == "checkout"){
        if(aliasField == undefined){
            // do nothing
        }
        else{
            aliasField.style.display = "none";
        }
    }
    else{
        // do nothing
    }
}

window.onload = hideAlias();

Just put it in custom.js

Bonjour J'ai le même problème mais sur PrestaShop 1.6.1.18.

Existe-t-il aussi un module gratuit que je peux installer ? La version proposée m'indique à l'installation que le module n'est pas compatible avec ma version.

any one found a solution?

Hello All,
Read this topic and i want to add that the correct method to hide the "Alias" field is to remove this code from Public_html/classes/form/CustomerAddressForm.php   this will hide it from the user to edit.

A radical solution that will fail at the slightest update.

The CSS code solution is the safest and most durable.

Yeah but you can further override it right?
and the CSS method is old school for this, as anyone can change the display:none from developer tools on browser easily to show it? am i correct? if i am correct then why telling them to just simply hide this important box via CSS, if 1 change by 1 customer by unhiding it can ruin all there logic they want to make. why miss guide them at first place?

so like i said its the proper way to do, which most of the people are looking for.

Kind Regards

At the same time, we have no idea why he wants to implement this option.

By using CSS, we can keep PrestaShop running without disturbing it or causing any side-effects. We can be sure that PrestaShop will continue to function properly.

better find the side-effects of core changes.
And similarly find the side-effects of CSS hiding.

(for me i had already tested & had found none with core changes & dozens with css changes)  and afterwards i had advised them with the correct method.

Thanks for these clarifications, although I don't know what side-effects there might be to simply hiding a native input field that won't impact any operation since nothing really changes.
